General Commentary and Game Overview

So...it's Yoshi battling against Windows in a computer. Epic story. But there is a twist:
An error has occured on the game! (no, not a real game error! An erroneous Windows error, when I was in the Internet Explorer level, I think) Yoshi was engulfed by the error and was kidnapped. So another Yoshi is sent out to save him, but it was accidentally emptied in the Recycle Bin (Nope! I don't move Yoshi vs. Windows Platinum to the recycle bin), and then the third one battles against Bill Gates and saves Yoshi.

I played it before and it was fun, although I had a Windows XP PC in the past. It was Windows 2000 themed. The best cyber adventure yet, starring your average dinosaur. Let's see the pros and cons.

Pros	+ When I played the classic Yoshi vs. Windows, the game closed when I lose. Now not anymore, it just shows a fake "Blue Screen of Death", and then transports back to the title screen. + Many bugs from the original fixed + Nail-biting boss battles that will leave you coming back for more
Cons	- The flashing door at the last level before the boss fight may cause a little bit of seizures for some people. (Watch out, epilepsy!)

Impressions

Gameplay 9 / 10	Yoshi goes through a computer eating Windows components. (exception is for the goombas at the first level). Controls are simple, so it's easier for you to control Yoshi. Also, I was impressed by a large number of bugfixes. Although the game was hard and easy at the same time, I believe "Eat all the enemies to win" is too repetitive, but I still feel that I love the game so much. Funny how I got an error after completing the Internet Explorer level. It was there until I clicked it. Yoshi was bubbled into the error! That was clever, supertoad2k.
Graphics 10 / 10	Yoshi has evolved from the SMW2:YI form into a more 3d-ish look. Also, the Windows desktop level has changed its wallpaper, and I liked how you made the BSOD at the end. It was awesome. On the title screen, I can see it's on fire, with the word "PLATINUM" on it. I can still see the SMW2 Yoshi on it, though. The font for the health and the remaining number of enemies left was replaced by a hi-res SMW number font. Nice!
Sound 9 / 10	The music was catchy. Some are from Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania. My favorite was the music in the Windows desktop level and the main menu screen. (I think it's from Ninja Gaiden).
Replay 10 / 10	I feel a presence of fighting against Microsoft to save Yoshi inside my mind... I hate to move it to the Recycle Bin and delete it. Put it in the honor folder and you'll be proud of their hard work on this. (especially the bug fixes) And play it to the end. For the love of Yoshi and our most popular operating system, WINDOWS.

Final Words

Error: Could not find any bugs. Could not find any glitches. Could not find review, nor game itself.
Press OK to continue. If the error persists, please report to the MFGG staff.
--------------------------------
Just kidding. A good ol' classic which involves Yoshi eating every single Windows component (exception is the Goombas) and battling against Bill Gates.
