Am I the only person that liked Yoshi's Story?

[makingmusic476]

Every time I've ever seen Yoshi's Story for the N64 mentioned, it's always been presented in a very negative light.  For instance, take this excerpt from the SMW 2: Yoshi's Island page in IGN's "Top 100":

Yoshi's name comes from a common Japanese exclamation, which is somewhat equivalent to an enthusiastic "Yes!" Example: "Did the Nintendo 64 sequel, Yoshi's Story, suck? Yoshi!"

Am I the only person that really enjoyed Yoshi's Story?  I rented it, loved it, and later bought it.  I may not enjoy it as much now, but it's still fun, and at the time it was great.

Btw, the white and black Yoshis were the best.
