First of all, lets discuss the Graphics. Graphics of this game were as good as any other Game Boy Advanced Game, for Pokémon that is. However, it incorporated many details of past games. Like the Head butt trees to make Pokémon fall. Not to mention the fact that he/she recreated the Pokémon Centers into a brand new style. As well as incorporated Pokémon from different regions. Overall, Graphics is a 9.

 Next of is Sound. Sound: Horrible for the sprites and Gym Leader music. The Pokémon from other regions for example, have different cries than what they normally do. For instance, a Skorupi (From the Sinnoh region) have the sound of a Marill (Jhoto region). The Gym Leader music is just the regular trainer battle music. It makes no absolute sense. Players who are playing this as their FIRST Pokemon Game, will be confused when they play an actual non-hack game. Overall, I rate Sound a 5.

 Next to Addictiveness. Addictiveness: This person recreated the whole pokemon game as we know it. He/she added new cities, new pokemon on each route, along with a new story-line. This gives players a chance to be surrounded with a new story. Surprises are left and right on this game giving the players more entertainment than most modern Pokemon games. This is most definitely a 10!
 
 The story. Story: Excellent like Addictiveness! The Story is elongated compared to other games. The first gym doesn't even begin until you've battled the evil team (twice), battled two rivals, and rescue a Pichu from drowning. This was the best and longest story line I've ever seen in a Pokemon game. Story is, like Addictiveness, a 10!

Next we have Depth. Depth: Big game. Offers a lot. What it offers amazed me when I first played. This game gives you the opportunity to get a starter from each previous region giving you the opportunity to experiment a little. Also, it gives you the opportunity to get into Pokemon from every region since this does have pokemon from every single Region (Kanto, Jhoto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova). This game is huge from the start. Depth, is a 10.

 Last but certainly not least, difficulty. This is actually a bit more difficult than most pokemon games. It adds the fact that you have to train hard to beat each gym (Considering the first gym has level twenties and four pokemon to beat). It also adds new Routes, so you never know what to expect with each Route. It could be a long Route to where you have to play for hours before you find your way through the Route to get to the next city. Also, you never know what lies ahead in the Cities. It could be just a normal town with a pokemon center, mart and a couple of houses. Yet, it may be this blown out city that includes a Gym, Mall, and 5 story buildings like Celadon City in the Kanto Region. Overall, I rate Difficulty a 9.

 Overall, this game is the perfect balance of fun and difficulty. Though the Sound could be better, and it definitely decreased my overall rating, I rate Pokemon Light Platinum Version an overall 8.6.

 

Excellent review, I think you go into great detail into your review and you provide lots of information on each topic of the game which is really important and necessary in a good review, so great job with that. You also give good reasoning to why you gave your scores, which a lot of people don't do, they just slap down a score on the game without even really saying why, so I am glad that you went into detail with that. This review has great detail, good length, good reasoning for your scores, you also have a neat easy to read review which is also very good and I think neatness is very important in a good review too. I think you did a really good job reviewing this game and I think Wesley made this game a great hack and I think it is very fun when I played it, I think it is one of the best hacks on vizzed because of how challenging and fun it is and also how much stuff you can do, it ensures hours of fun because it is a longer game. Great review, keep up the good work and keep making more reviews.

Thanks for your reply This is only my third Game Review ever too

Third review, huh? Well it doesn't show. This is a very nice review. You covered a lot of ground in this review, and you wrote it well. Good work here. Keep it up.

Great review brawler. Your the only review I think to mention the sound mix ups. Excellent

brawler456 : Is there a reason why you didn't actually say what the storyline actually is, and just BARELY touched on a few events in the game?

It sounds like it's got a much better plot than any official Pokémon title, but you didn't tell me anything about it.

Superrpgman : Yea. Last time I checked, you're not supposed to include major storyline/game play aspects in a game review. Last time I checked, people don't ENJOY spoilers.
