Gameplay

Starts out feeling far too simplistic, but soon you need to start employing strategy and it all begins to feel more substantial.
Graphics

Fantastic animation and the sprites look great. The effects could have been a little flashier and less pixelated, though.
Sound
5
Nothing too good – the same tunes are repeated over and over, and the sound effects aren’t up to much.
Value
7
The main story mode is short, but there are some extra missions available, and the promise of Manaphy is worth it alone to some people we’re sure. This is one of those where too much playtime would have ruined it, so we can’t hold too much against it.

Yeah it's a good game...You don't like it, tiamat? It's very different in style to D/P, so for those that want a change from the old formula it's a nice distraction.
get reading about my trip to London to see EA, Nintendo and Eurogamer Expo!

I think I justified my reasons for giving it an 8. It's a good change of pace and FAR more interesting than the vast majority of Pokemon games that have been released. The battle system is a bit of a quibble, but it doesn't overstay its welcome thanks to the length of the game. I think HAL did a great job in offering a new side to the franchise in the same way they did with Pokemon Snap.
Diamond/Pearl is undoubtedly better, but this leads into it nicely.

Good review! I've got it (but nothing can replace Diamond :cry:
& I thought it was really fun. That being said, I would have enjoyed it much more if I didn't have to press my DS buttons through my infinate waterfall of tears...
Yeah.
