Pok?mon Diamond (Nintendo DS)
You might not see the supporting merchandise so much nowadays but Pokemon is still the most successful games franchise in history. Diamond and Pearl sold 5 million copies in Japan in under three months and 1 million in America in just one month, breaking all records for the year and the series. At first sight though this looks disappointingly similar to the existing games, with only a subtle 3D effect for the game world and largely static 2D battles. However the gameplay has undergone a complete overhaul, adding numerous new features and reintroducing others from Gold/Silver/Crystal, that had previously been removed.
The basics are still the same though, as you venture out into the world (called Sinnoh this time) in an attempt to catalogue each and every pokemon and battle the evil Team Galactic. Catching and training a pokemon for combat also works the same as before, although beauty and talent contests have been greatly expanded for those that prefer as little violence as possible. The game includes a day and night cycle, which severely impacts the appearance of pokemon, and you are given a new gadget called a poketch which starts as a simple watch but can be upgraded to everything from a scanner to a map. Secret bases are back and considerably more sophisticated than before but the most important new feature by far is the online mode. You can now trade, chat and battle with fans from around the world - proving that progress is not always just a case of better graphics. Harrison Dent
Customer Review: Brilliant
Brilliant cos it has all the good things from the last few games and new stuff like the 3d effect and the poketch which replaces the pokenav from hoenn. Even though the story line is the same as all the other games the new features sort of cancells that out.

Customer Review: If you’ve a brain: AVOID
According to the box cover, there are “more than 10 million users worldwide!” of More Brain Training. Yes; well. . . If those stats are as reliable as the program, then they’re best taken with a huge pinch of salt. Because this thing simply doesn’t work. The concept’s OK but the execution? Not a chance. Hand writing recognition is far inferior to, for example, the Nintendo DS ‘Word Power’ game. Speech recognition is erratic. And, most serious of all, there’s a significant software fault (at least, in the brand new MBT which I have) which renders all user efforts, pointless. The error occurs in “brain age” checking, where if the user opts for non-vocal assessment, ‘Dr Kawashima’ (who he?) comes up with three “test modes” which have to be worked through on the touch screen. So far, so good. Test mode 1 is serial subtraction, test mode 2 is high number identification, and test mode 3, serial addition. Test modes 1 and 2 function correctly: they run for a few minutes (obviously, this depends on the speed of the user) but test mode 3 goes on and on and on and on and on and on. . . Locked into a permanent loop, the “assessment” keeps throwing up numbers to add to preceding totals until in excess of 100 is reached, at which point the software fails to recognise a triple-digit total and hangs with a large question mark showing. There is no escape or exit mechanism. The only available button is “Try Again”. And all that achieves is for the software to throw up a new number, then another number to add to it, and so on, and so on, and so on, until a triple digit total is reached, at which point everything hangs again because the total cannot be recognised. Users can, of course, press “Try Again”. But doing so invites only an unending repetition of all that has gone before. And because there is no exit facility at all — an appalling omission in any software, and especially inexcusable in something like this — the only option left is to shut down the console. . . Which means the “brain age” assessment is not complete and so all the time and effort expended up to that point has been a complete waste. On re-start, it is the case that, very often, though by no means every time, the “brain age asessment” modes substitute a numerics and symbols recognition test in place of the flawed infinite serial addition test. In which case, all three modes run correctly and a “brain age” result is yielded. Of course, there’s no scientific basis whatsoever for any of this: “brain age” is a daft concept and not to be taken seriously anyway. Mental stimulation, however, does have credibility, and so if ‘Dr Kawashima’s’ offering is approached in that light, then it’s possible some value may be derived. But as the selling point of this software is: “HOW OLD IS YOUR BRAIN?”, then its consistent failure to manage its so-called assessments militates so seriously against buying it that any prospective user with a functioning brain cell would be well advised not to bother.
Customer Review: Excellent!
Received this for Christmas and I can honestly say it has been utilised by everyone in the family with ages ranging from 30 to the late 70’s! Having never played this before and being totally new to an Nintendo DS Lite it is easy to use, clear with instructions and really gets the competitive spirit going! All I can say is that it is worth every penny and the entertainment value is superb. Buy it and have some fun!
