Overall- 10 I know the numbers don't equal it, I just like the game THAT much. Graphics- 9 The Game Boy Advance was released in 2001. The Nintendo DS was released in 2004. I think that Pokemon Fire Red has better graphics than New Super Mario Bros., but that is just my opinion. For a game that was released in 2004, this game has excellent graphics. I also like the graphics better than most Wii games. Sound- 9 The music is good and sometimes relaxing, and has a good beat but is somewhat redundant. The sound effects aren't great, but for an older game, the sound effects and music are really good. I give the sound a 9, the same amount of years ago this game was released at the time of my post. Addictiveness- 10 The first time I played this game, I had low expectations due to having only played Pokemon Yellow before for like 10 minutes. But this game grew and grew on me, and before long I was sitting in my computer chair playing this game for hours upon hours at a time. I now am a BIG Pokemon fanboy, and even bigger than Mario, which, not too long ago, was my favorite Nintendo game and character, before I ran into Pokemon, and now it's Pokemon and Ash. Story- 10 I know the story isn't exactly... well... original, but I still like it. Yes, the same story was used in Pokemon Red, Blue and basically even Yellow up to this point, but all originality aside, the story is amazing! This story is going to go down in history for best video game/retro game/computer game ever! Depth- 9 The game is huge! There are 9 cities, one giant building, a tower, a maze-like power plant, an island where people live (sort of like Hawaii!) and seven other islands! This game will take some time to even beat the elite four the first time, little long second. There is a ton to do in this game, catch the Pokemon, beat the gyms and the elite four, face everyone along the way, take down Team Rocket, and much more! Difficulty- 5 I know, I know. The game isn't that difficult to just do what the main goal is, beat the elite four and become the Pokemon league champion, but to catch 'em all, you can't even do that on a rom or with just one game! You need to have like Fire Red, Leaf Green, AND Emerald to catch 'em all, and a Game Boy Advance (which I own) or a Nintendo DS or DS Lite. (No DSi, DSi XL, 3DS, or 3DS XL, because they do not have Game Boy Advance slots.) I just caught Mewtwo today, and that was really hard! To someone who has never played Pokemon, and I mean NEVER before this game, the game would be at least a 7 in difficulty... probably? But to someone who has at least seen someone play Pokemon and gets what it is about, this would be rated low, sort of like mine, and possibly even lower.

DaFlame12 : Hello! .. How are you? .. I think this is the second review I've read of yours? I'm not too sure. I see your review is over 500 words; that's pretty good for a review. I usually strive for over 3000 words for a Pokémon review; this is because I also reviewed this game and it was over 3000 words You put a lot of factual data into your reviews, there's no problem with that. However, reviews are really based on opinion rather than facts. As much as it's good to add facts, you must add a few opinions in there too. Slightly a little bit more detail would be required, especially when commenting on sound and graphics. You could have said that you liked the graphics and what you liked about them. It's the same for sound. Overall, not a bad review, well done! I think this is the second review I've read of yours? I'm not too sure.

DaFlame12 : Great review here.I'll definitely have to try this game out soon.You had very nice spacing, which is good, because if you do not have good spacing, you will get less replies, because people do not want to read a review that looks like all one word, plus someone may think you are spamming, and they might report you, so be very careful on spacing.You divided up the five categories, which is also very important when writing or typing game reviews, because if you do not separate the categories up, people will not want to read reviews that are not organized and legible, they will just move on to reviews that are more organized and legible.You had good grammar which is another very important skill in doing game reviews, or any review of any kind.If you do not have good grammar in your reviews, they will turn out horribly and you will get less replies from other users, because they will not want to try to figure out what you are trying to say, they will just move on different reviews that have good grammar and are not hard to read, they might also think you speak a different language or something if you do not have good grammar, they might think,"Where does this guy live, in Italy?".Do not take this as an insult, I'm just trying to help you out so your reviews can look professional.One tip I want to give to you is about your overall rating.I Like to add up all of the category ratings, and divide them by six to find out what the overall rating will be.You can do that if you want to, but if you want to just keep doing what you are doing now, that is okay with me, I'm just trying to give you some tips to remember in your future reviews.You did well explaining why you liked the game so much, this is also a great skill to remember, because f you have nice and detailed game reviews, you will get more replies from users saying that your review is nice and detailed.That is what can make you feel very proud as a game reviewer.Another thing that you need to remember is to type a bit more words when you write or type game reviews, or any reviews that you do in your lifetime.Game reviews are usually five hundred to one thousand words in length.Second, you may want to include some tips that you know of about the game, because if you include tips abut the game, users may give you some feedback on how much the tips helped them, and that is also another thing that can make you happy is a game reviewer.You had some nice information about the game such as when it was released, you also included when the Nintendo DS and the Game Boy Advance was released.This is probably your maybe third review that I have seen from you, I am impressed on how you have done so far.You just have to always remember before you even think about doing writing or typing game reviews, to remember that you have to have at least five hundred to one thousand words in you review, make sure you remember that you must have good spacing between words if you want a lot of replies from other users, have good grammar(Make sure you do not have foreign language words in your game reviews), have good spelling, be sure to divide up the categories, and be detailed and descr |

Nice review, it had some good detail, but I didn't see why Mario had anything to do with your Pokémon review. That was a little awkward. Anyways, great Job, and I look forward to seeing your next all out review. Oh, and I have all out to tell you. This game was pretty amazing to me as well. I had it on Game Boy Advance, and I beat I no problem. I evan got a mewtwo. I love this game, and it always had me impressed. To bad it broke. Anyways, overall I guess you did a wonderful job, and I really really do look forward to reading your next awesome one. |

Delano1 : Thanks for the encouragement! I will definitely make more reviews, and possibly even one today! dennyjr22 : Thanks. I'd really like everyone that reads this (if they haven't already) to try out the game. It is an amazing game, and you won't want to stop playing it. Thanks for all your tips, especially the one about how to get the overall rating, which I will indeed use in future reviews. My review is over 500 words, so that's done. I will include tips in my future reviews as well. Such as how to catch legendary Pokemon like Mewtwo (which I caught yesterday). And by the way, this is my first review, so you're mixing me up with someone else, or maybe you can see the future! Dun dun dunnnnn, have a nice day! linkmaster99 : The only reason Mario had anything to do with it was because I compared New Super Mario Bros. graphics with Pokemon Fire Red graphics. Then I stated how Pokemon passed up Mario as my favorite Nintendo game. Thanks to you and everyone else for the awesome comments on this! Have a nice day! dennyjr22 : Thanks.
