Hey You, Pikachu!

"Pretty inovative!"

Intro: It's too bad that pikachu had to be the guy for this game. Even though he's cute, he gets on everyone's nerves. This game made a terrific change on the face of games as we know it! Soon, the microphone may be used for many more popular games. Of course this game had it's other aspects. Can't rely on new features alone!

Gameplay: This game had many fun things to do. At first all you can really do is talk and rotate around Pikachu, But soon, you gain new items, the ability to walk freely, the ability to collect items, and the ability to look up and down! The game starts simply, but gets more complicated, (and more fun) later on. The different levels consist of, Spring leaf field, where you can water oddish. Cobalt coast, where you can play Pinata. Ochre woods, where you can help Bulbasaur make food, (and food poisoning.) and many more! You can fish at 3 places also! Not only do you have to complete certian tasks to move on, you can also find new items to play with! The trumpet is one, and theres the lightbulb and balloon too. Sometimes you just have to tell Pikachu no though. When he starts to toss tissues around, you need to stop him.

Graphics: The graphics aren't much to speak of. I mean, If you look at Banjo-Tooie, You see that the graphics are pretty special! If you look at Pikachu, Ehhhh... so-so. I mean that they aren't ugly, just not beautiful. Don't forget though, graphics aren't everything.

Frustration: You just can't get Pikachu to listen to you sometimes! But in order to get him to understand you, you need to speak clearly, and without stress. You also will see that the game seems to act weird and strange sometimes, even though it's bug free. It's trying to do the correct thing, but it is working agains't your wishes to do it.

Difficulty: It's not too hard. It's actually pretty easy if you know the commands.

Bugs: Sorry, couldn't find any.

Codes: None of these either.

Ending: This is a real kicker. There isn't one to rate! The game never ends, it just keeps going. I wish it could mark the end of the game with some credits or somthing.

Rent/Buy: Overall the game is enough to keep you entertained over a renting period. DON'T BUY IT! It is not worth it. It's fun won't last long enough. It'll probobly break anyway for all I know.

Overall: This game is fun, so play it! Just don't get over excited over it. It's missing a lot of the stuff that it could really use. Oh well, play it and get it over with!
