Trip World Review

You won't want to take this trip

Yakopoo, the star of Trip World, looks a bit like Kirby with ears and a tail. While the world's favourite pink blob (sorry, Ditto) can transform into a sword-swinging blobby behemoth, our Yakapoo seems puny by comparison.

His main attack is a kick with such a short range his enemies probably think he's just going to hug them. That can be their only excuse for being defeated by him. Power-ups enable him to use his tail as a whip or become a bouncing invincible ball for a short while.

But if you were to grant him more powers, Yakopoo's quest to retrieve the flower of peace would be over very quickly, as there are only five worlds. We'd had enough after three.

    For the price and considering that fact that the game is extremely old now, I'd say it's very well made. The graphics and animation are extremely well done for the time. People buying this game should be aware that it was built for very limited hardware and therefor, not expect a huge adventure with it. The game feels very polished and mixes up the gameplay with the up/down+B transformations for swimming and flying. A short experience, but you'll probably not be able to beat it on your first few tries. It's a nice game that should be enjoyed by playing from start to finish each time. And once again, one of the best looking games on the original GameBoy. :)
