Pok?mon Pearl (Nintendo DS)


Pok?mon Pearl (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.

Customer Review: not your average video game
Pokemon games aren’t enjoyable in quite the same way that other games are. Try to describe the interactive element and it starts to sound like an atrocious, dated experience. And yet somehow it can provide endless entertainment (or at least, more hours than you have time for).

Pokemon is not just about the battle mechanics, although you will find more complexity here than meets the eye. Buy a Pokemon game cartridge and you become a collector, on a journey to discover as many new species as you can. The experience is pervasive - captured pokemon can be exchanged with friend’s games like playing cards, and Pokemon tours across the country are used to distribute rare creatures that are unobtainable through regular gameplay, to anyone willing to attend.

Your game cartridge is a container for pokemon, but they are more than just digital playing cards. Each one can be groomed, customised and entered in competitions - both physical and aesthetic. Your pokemon transcend the games they appear in, able to follow you to each new version so hours spent training are never lost. Pokemon even transcend generations and consoles; creatures groomed on a GBA can be transferred (when certain requirements have been met) to a DS, and can then even be called upon in the upcoming Wii game “Pokemon Battle Revolution.”

Customer Review: Surprisingly addictive
I bought this as something of an after-thought when purchasing `42 All-time Classics’ & I can honestly say I’m well & truly hooked. If you like puzzles & stuff like Tetris then you’ll love this set of games. Sit down for a quick session & before you know it an hour has gone by. So easy to learn & so easy to lose track time: it’s great!

Customer Review: Bored with it??
I think I must be missing something here. I bought the game after reading great reviews of it, but to me it just seems to be endless screens of the same old thing. You have to match bubbles to make groups of more than three. You fire the bubbles using a charactrer that holds a sling shot. That’s about it? Or have I missed something???!
Customer Review: Yawn…
What a boring version of a great game. I am a fan of the bust a move series but this is just a very scaled down version, with very samey puzzles. It doesn’t bring much to the table with so many other fun puzzle games on the DS, and once it’s done, there’s not much point in playing it, if you really REALLY want this game, buy it cheap….VERY CHEAP.

Tom and Jerry (Nintendo DS)

Customer Review: Just not my cup of tea
Found this very tedious and repetitive. Not something that will be staying in my collection for long that’s for sure.
Customer Review: Great Tom and Jerry Fun
It is like the cartoons. You have challenges to complete in different parts of the house. You can create chaos, and collect items and other things without Tom getting you. I have found that being left handed this game is brilliant as you can use either left or right controls for movement - wow what a change! It took a few minutes to get used to the game, but it is worth it.

Customer Review: Does What It Says On The Tin
The game cannot be faulted at all in providing exactly what is expected - a large number of Su Doku puzzles with an initial tutorial mode for those unfamiliar with the puzle , going all the way up to quite difficult . Game times are kept , and there is a star system based on how quickly the puzzles are completed . Completing the grid is by either writing the numbers in the boxes , or tapping on a panel beside the grid .There is space to actually ‘pencil’ in suggestions for numbers in boxes - I have done this when doing the puzzle in newspapers for instance . So . It’s pretty low on frills , but you get what you want - heaps of puzzles !
Customer Review: A must for Sudoku fans
There are several aspects of this game which make it stand out from other sudoku games. There are two methods for completing the grids, by touching a number pad (this is extremely helpful as a number becomes greyed out when it has been entered in the grid 9 times), or by writing in with the stylus. So you can choose which method suits you best. There are 10 practice sessions where an incorrect entry comes up red which is very good for beginners. There are 400 puzzles ranging from practice, easy, normal and hard and a time record and scoring is kept so you can go back and repeat a puzzle to try and improve on your score. Hours of fun!! You can highlight numbers and lines in the grid to make it easier to see where you have completed. All in all, I totally love this version of sudoku and would recommend it 100% to both sudoku fans and newcomers to sudoku alike.
