There's no getting around the fact that Yoshi's New Island had mixed reviews — we awarded it a 5/10 score, with various major outlets varying from 4 to 8 out of 10; there's little denying that it divided opinion. It's out in the wild now, however, and consumers will make their own decisions on how the title stacks up.
The most intriguing review was posted in the digital edition of UK newspaper The Times, however, as it filled the space for its 5 out of 5 Titanfall review with the text for Yoshi's New Island. When the opening words refer to a "sanitised version of birth", those looking for information on the FPS where you cause mayhem with Mechs may have sensed something had gone wrong.
We suspect this'll be fixed pronto, so props to Twitter user @ClakePhil for capturing the moment; it stands as one of the quirkiest reviews you'll ever see.

Yoshi Titanfall? MM, that would actually would have been a more exciting game than what Artoon has just offered.
Heh Yoshifall
Haha, this is hilarious!
Haha epic fail.
Ah! Typical!
Everyone talking of Titanfall like it's some kind of "next-gen" game when this review clearly prove it's only a ripoff of Yoshi Island!!!
Now I know why they call it "Yoshi Falls"
This is the best! XD
Phail.
That's incredible; providing it doesn't anyone their job, I wouldn't mind seeing more mix-ups like this.
I'd take The Times' version of Titanfall over the real one.
I love ClarkePhil's comment on it. "I think Nintendo’s lawyers need to have a look at the game." Haha!
Ha ha ha ha! After watching Gravity (depressing) this cheered me up!
I await the people raging saying that Nintendo paid them to do this. lol
I'm with other posters I'd love to see more mix-ups such as this
Titans New Island: YoshiFall... OK, that doesn't make any sense...
I am not amazed at the mix up, I am amazed that the writer makes three paragraphs and calls that a review. And the first one is a recap of the "story" of the game.
@noctowl Yes it is on 360 however that version isn't out yet (March 25th/28th) and will likely be a far inferior port.
Haha..
Basically, the game plays like Titanfall, but you're a baby (soldier) and you have to climb up onto a Yoshi (titan) if you wanna become even more powerful.
Three hours into yoshi's new island and I am glad to say it is a good game. If you were on the fence...buy it.
Lol, this is the greatest thing ever posted, Yoshi fall would make an epic game, some one needs to make a fake trailer for this immediately.
This is Fox News quality right here.
A website makes a mistake. Let's report it to the masses!!
@OdnetninAges
Please. MSNBC is MUCH worse than Fox News. Fox News only gets hate because liberals hate the conservative viewpoints of the opinion analysis, such as Bill O'Reilly. But that's opinion, it's not supposed to be fact. MSNBC actually misconstrues facts during their news reporting segments and spins it to fit their political view. Watch both of them and see for yourself.
I'm thinking riding a giant Yoshi would be pretty cool, eating soldiers with his massive tongue then laying eggs. Yoshi the Tyrant... yeah, has a ring to it
Lol. This made my day.
@JaxonH Best news source is Al Jazeera. (I cannot tell that it is biased and if it is then it is biased against my natural prejudices which is the best option).
(If Fox news is anything like the Sun Newspaper - which is what I think it is then its terrible - Sky News (Or the Times for that matter) is not that bad. There is some law in the UK that stops Sky News being made like Fox News that Murdock really doesn't like so if it was impartial it wouldn't be a problem)
@unrandomsam
They're both owned by Mr Murdoch, but that's about the extent of their similarities. I heard about the Sun and their journalistic practices. Not that that diminishes their ability to deliver facts- it's shady but is not evidence of reporting falsehoods. If they don't deliver the news straight, that's a separate issue. And since I don't live in the UK or read their paper, I wouldn't know how credible they are or aren't.
I do watch the news quite a bit here in the US though, and am well aware of how credible the different networks are. Fox News is actually one of the better news sources here. You may not agree with their conservative viewpoints during the opinion segments, but that doesn't negate their integrity delivering the news and reporting on stories that CNN and MSNBC refuse to report (the first 4 years of Obama's presidency NO ONE reported negative stories about him because they all supported him- the ONLY network that actually covered those stories was Fox News, and that is why they have my respect)
@JaxonH
Actually, I've heard that "The Sun" is genuinely terrible, but I wouldn't know, as I am an American.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see that you already touched on that with someone else.
@OdnetninAges What I always thought was :
Sky News is to Fox News
as
The Times is to the Sun
(What Murdock thinks does influence all but not so badly on the former).
@JaxonH You do realize there's been studies that show that Fox viewers are actually the least informed viewers out there. They are incredibly unreliable and only work to push their own agenda.
@Csaw actually there is research that shows the exact opposite. I agree that Fox News are more reliable than MSNBc and are generally very good. They get hate because: a they're so much more successful than the other networks and b they have a conservative viewpoint dominating more.
They get hate because most people are intelligent enough to realize they are morons.
All tabloids are the same in my humble, Michael Jackson fan opinion. But The Sun are particularly loathsome, I'm a Liverpool fan too if that means anything to anyone. I remember watching Fox News during the Michael Jackson trial and it was scary, in my opinion, how they get away with some of their reporting, literally blatant lying at times, but there is very little fair & balanced reporting when it comes to MJ in general so it ain't just them
Oh wow, the off-topic is off the charts
better than any of Nintendo's UK marketing ideas
Wow! A game featuring baby Mario rated Pegi 16+!?!? Now THAT'S hardcore! (as in content not as in gamer)
Looks like is still hope for all those "hardcore gamers" who have been whining that they want a rated Pegi 16+ (M on N.A.) Zelda game, lol!
@Nintenjoe64 Or NoA's for that matter. :-/
Ha Ha but seriously.............. I pre-ordered the game before any reviews came out. If I had read the reviews first I would not have bothered with the game. But....... I would give Yoshi New Island a good 8. I am not half way through it yet, but first impressions I think the reviewers have got this one wrong.
I'm loving that there are other people speaking out after playing Yoshi's Island and agreeing with me that it's a good game! Way better than 5 out of 10. But anyway, that article is funny.
Prepare for Babyfall.
@LindsayPez glad to see you're liking it, want to buy it myself but may hold off until there is a price drop.
@Csaw Sounds like BS to me, coming from a biased source I would wager
@JaxonH Glad to see there are others with some sense. People are brainwashed to think Fox is some horribly inaccurate news channel. Think for yourselves people, stop being sheep to the liberal agenda.
@RawkHawk013 actually the study was done by a university. I'm not saying msnbc is quality news btw, because I know that channel is awful as well, but Fox news feeds on people's fears and prejudices and will distort news to fit their agenda.
Fox has their own agenda and they force it on their viewers. Nothing is unbiased reporting, they don't simply give you the news, they give you their version of it and are therefore trying to influence and brainwash their viewers. They're not alone in doing it though, sadly. Most of us are sheep the media is absolutely terrifying to be honest!
This sounds better than Sanic Last Worldsz.
