Pokémon Platinum on GBA? No, but this simply is one of the best Pokémon game I have ever played. What is out standing is IT IS ON GAME BOY ADVANCE. Yeah! You heard me right. So, this review will cover almost everything in the game (Graphics, sound, etc.). I may put some negative comments about the game but I will also put on its advantages. I am also fairly strict when it comes to the grades. Personally, if I given a 6 or 7 to the game, it means that is good and I like it. Please do not comment anything harsh because ALL of these are purely opinionated. Let's start!
Graphics-9Personally, I would have given a perfect 10 when it comes to the graphics. Who would expect these kinds of graphics displayed on a Game Boy Advance. No kidding. But, I have noticed a few graphical issues but no worries. They don't really affect the game play. I like almost everything in this game's graphics as it is like of Platinum, Pearl, and Diamond. The striking colors also caught my eye. Overall, the graphics of this game is very outstanding and is utterly well-done.
Sound-7Even though the music and sounds mostly came from hoenn (excluding cries of many Pokémon), it still has great music. The music is soothing and its genre is one of my favorites. I still love the Classics
. I would have rated a way higher grade (Possible 8 or 9) but I have noticed some errors regarding the cries of some Pokémon. I perfectly understand that creating a game like this is hard, especially for me who does not know anything about stuff like these so I gave a higher grade. It was supposed to be 6 but I changed my mind. Anyways, the sounds of this game is still pretty good.
Addictiveness-9Now, compared to the other Pokémon games, this is addicting because it features a wide array of Pokémon, a lot of locations, a lot of quests and a long story. These are what I'm looking for if I want to play it again. Come on! Who would get addicted to a game with a short story and bad graphics? I guess a tiny minority of people will. Anyways, it actually took me 4 days to finish the first half of the game. It is perfectly challenging which got me addicted to the game. I may have a different insight to the game but all of the things I said is pretty much my opinion regards the game.
Story-8
Like what I said previously, it has a long story. I wont spoil any of the game's contents so it is up to you to find out.
Depth-9
The game has an awful lot of things to offer. An awful lot. As I said, it has a large array of Pokémon, a lot of locations, a lot of quests and a long story. What's more is that the Pokémon there have a wide gap between levels which really gives a large boost when it comes to the challenge that the game has. You have to put a lot of time and effort to this game and patience is the key. It also gives you a lot to do. Again, I won't spoil anything to you
. Overall, this game is a marvel. I encourage everyone to try it out.
Difficulty-7
Like what I stated a while ago in this review, this game takes a lot of time to beat because it is challenging. I mean the controls are easy but the game itself is hard. It took me a lot of time to get the hang of this game because it has a lot of things to do and there is a wide gap of Pokémon levels. You could also get confused. But, even though the game is hard, this game surely is a marvel. That is all that I have to say.
Overall-9.4
This game truly is a piece of art. Even though there are some minor glitches here and there, this game is TOTALLY worth the time and effort. My only comment for the game is to fix some bugs and glitches but it doesn't really matter,
This is the end of my review. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to reply to this post or send a private message to me (DanielFantasyVI). I will try to answer everything the best I could. Thank you for reading this review.
