Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: You might not see the supporting merchandise so much nowadays but Pokemon is still the most successful games franchise in history. Diamond and Pearl sold 5 million copies in Japan in under three months and 1 million in America in just one month, breaking all records for the year and the series. At first sight though this looks disappointingly similar to the existing games, with only a subtle 3D effect for the game world and largely static 2D battles. However the gameplay has undergone a complete overhaul, adding numerous new features and reintroducing others from Gold/Silver/Crystal, that had previously been removed. The basics are still the same though, as you venture out into the world (called Sinnoh this time) in an attempt to catalogue each and every pokemon and battle the evil Team Galactic. Catching and training a pokemon for combat also works the same as before, although beauty and talent contests have been greatly expanded for those that prefer as little violence as possible. The game includes a day and night cycle, which severely impacts the appearance of pokemon, and you are given a new gadget called a poketch which starts as a simple watch but can be upgraded to everything from a scanner to a map. Secret bases are back and considerably more sophisticated than before but the most important new feature by far is the online mode. You can now trade, chat and battle with fans from around the world – proving that progress is not always just a case of better graphics. Harrison Dent Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Am I nit picking?have been a loyal fan to the pokemon franchise for many years and this game... made me feel quite ambivilent. Of course, it's a pokemon game therefore it was good. It had all the elements that a pokemon game should have. But I can't help feeling that they didn't bring anything interesting and new enough into these 2 new games. Although I would recommend this game in any one's collection, i feel that some fans, like me, may be a tad dissappointed. For example the DS control system was shamefully ...

It glistens with imagination yet don't expect a load of difference to the old games such as Emerald, Ruby or Sapphire. Still this is a great joy to play and if you want to complete everything, this game will keep you going for months on end. Also there is online play to spice things up a bit. If your a pokemon fanatic or are new to the series this will be a treat to everyone. Graphics: 7/10 Gameplay: ...

Rating: - Palkia always Beats DialgaI don't know WHY everyone always buys Diamond, I mean, if you go into a game shop I bet you'll find loads of Pearls, but only 1 or 2 diamonds. The games are relativley the same, but they both have different pokemon to catch. These are normally just small pokes that are in some long grass somewhere, but the main change is Palkia and Dialga. I asked some of my friends why they all got Diamond without thinking about Pearl, most of them said its beacause Dialga's Roar of Time KOs Palkia. This is not true, ...

And pokemon diamond and pearl for the DS is fabulous! This is a great game with loads of different things to do, and I love being able to upload critters from my pokemon red (GBA) straight to pokemon pearl without a wireless connection or those fiddly wires! The stylus is put to good use although it could be incorporated more with the throwing of pokeballs and stuff like that... but this game is still ... Read More: |
