Pok?mon Ranger (Nintendo DS) Customer Review: Good fun, but short
I bought this game while waiting for Pokemon Diamond and Pearl to be released in the UK, hoping it would fill the gap between the two release dates. Sadly, it didn’t. While this is a good game, it is also an exceptionally short game. I completed this game in less than a week, and without long stints of playing on it.
The game itself is fun, and simple to master - but it can get quite annoying and repetitive, which stops extended playing. The entire game revolves around circling pokemon with the stylus to catch them. There is no other mini-game involved, and other than using pokemon to access areas - that is the only interaction the player has - drawing lots of circles.
I did enjoy the game, but would have like a more varied gameplay, and the ability to save anywhere - as the game used save points, which meant at times, quite far into a level you either had to back track miles to get to a save point, or keep playing to get to the next. The game was also quite linear, and didn’t allow for exploration and playing outside of the plot line.
I would reccommend this game if you are looking for something quick and easy, but not if you want something to get your teeth into. Of course, for Pokemon Pearl and Diamond fans, you do need this game to get the Manaphy egg, which is available through a special mission once the game is completed.
Worth buying - but get it cheap, it’s not worth ?20+
Customer Review: Power Ranger… CAPTURE ON!!
This new departure for Pokemon games is a hybrid. A lot of the non-Trainer based trading games involve a variation on the Catch Em All theme, but mainly just to acknowledge you’ve encountered them and have limited use beyond that, as none of them are compatible for transfer to the mainstream collecting series. This is a vexation for many die-hard fans. On that front, Pokemon Ranger is very much in this family, with the main exception of the game’s hidden bonus. More on this later…
The game itself, as explained in other reviews, revolves around the player using the Nintendo DS Stylus interface to “capture” pokemon by encircling them in a continuous loop until they are bound in an energy sphere. The system shows how many loops are needed and give a countdown on each completed loop. As with the general Trainer themed storylines, it involves an evil criminal gang (The Go-Rock Squad in this incarnation) believing that corrupting pokemon to evil ends will allow them to dominate the world. Your job, more critically as a Ranger, is to rescue pokemon by recruiting wild ones to use their special abilities to help you.
The game is very good, though it does have its drawbacks, which is why I can’t give it a 5. The main gameplay is clearly aimed at a 9 yr old being able to draw circles, as missions are quite easily completed for the first half of the game. Encountering “boss” rescues however, such as the dragon types Charizard and Salamence, and the Legendary Dogs, all seem to exceed the capabilities a 9 yr old would have. Drawing 15 circles or 21 circles continuously sounds easy, but the problem is that the dragons fight back and wander off screen, making it very easy to spend 1/2 hour trying to draw circles and avoid losing health. Given that until this point most pokemon need 3-4 loops or in rarer cases 8, this sudden leap is significant. This is unlike Pokemon Link, which has a much more reasonable learning curve.
I mentioned the Bonus. I happened to buy this game first and then proceeded to hear more about the bonus after getting halfway through the game. Once the game is completed, bonus missions are unlocked. One of these is hidden and requires a special password and access technique found easily on the internet. Upon completing this mission, you receive a mystery egg which can be transferred to the Pokemon Pearl and Diamond games, once they’re eventually released. The Good News? This pokemon is ONLY available with this game in the current series and can be traded to either Pearl or Diamond using another DS. The Bad News? Nintendo have restricted it to being ONLY one egg per cartridge. Restarting the game seems to have no effect, so it is reported. Therefore, you need to be careful when this pokemon has been traded to the Trainer Cartridge games, as once its lost, its gone and you’ll need a new Pokemon Ranger Cartridge. Please note, Ditto creates a hybrid with the new pokemon, Manaphy, so it doesn’t clone it like usual either, so you can’t try that route either. People wanting to complete Pokedexes need this game!
