It’s Friday again, so you know what time it is.
This week I’ll be reviewing Pokemon Ranger for the DS.
Pokemon Ranger is just another one of those Pokemon spin-offs, but it plays nothing like any other Pokemon game I’ve ever played (And trust me I’ve played a lot of Pokemon games.) The first main difference you’ll see is that instead of catching the Pokemon and keeping them forever, you get to ‘borrow’ them to help you out on your journey such as burn logs, ram trees, and yes, water plants. Not all of the Pokemon are in this game, which in many ways is a great thing since 386 Pokemon can be ridiculous fo a spin-off game (*cough* Mystery Dungeon *cough*.) The game uses the styler very well and it dosn’t get the slightest bit annoying, which surprises me since all you do is circle the Pokemon in battle. Also, each Pokemon while in battle move and act differently so that every Pokemon is a new challenge. There’s plenty of land to explore and it all looks a little bit different so you won’t be looking like you’re walking in circles.
The storyline is pretty decent, especially since the main Pokemon games have absolutely no storyline. The main problem is the game is not long enough (I beat it in under 20 hours), but other than that it is a really good game.
The graphics aren’t top of the line, but they’re all it needs, and all the Pokemon have different animations (Thank goodness!)
The music is pretty good with a lack of repitition and the sound is quite smooth, except the Pokemon have a tendency to constantly repeat their calls.
This is a great game for Pokemon fans and it’s pretty decent for people who aren’t into Pokemon. I’m giving Pokemon Ranger for the DS a seven
