"A New and Better Pokemon!"

It's brand new! Pokemon, Mystery Dungeon Red! And it's back with some very good tactics in the game.

Gameplay
The gameplay is very easy to learn and control. It has many features that enable you to change to your liking, and ones that make the game easier or harder to play. The turn-based fighting is great, but it's old. It's been around since the Blue and Red Versions. The attacks are great with many different kinds, and an all new Regular attack that never runs out of PP, and any pokemon can do it.

Graphics
The graphics in this game are good for the Gameboy Advance System, but not the best. They have all of the Pokemon drawn out just like they should be, I have no problem with them, but the movement in the dungeons is somewhat glitchy. Every step you take has a very slight pause in between them. They're not very noticable, but sometimes it just makes your eyes strain a little.

Controls
All original control. Nothing unique about it accept that the way you attack and throw weapons by holding L and either pressing A to attack, and pressing R to throw a weapon. The weapon and move setting feature is a big time saver. Also, the move linking system is a big help when your fighting a strong enemy.

Storyline
The Storyline to this game is very interesting. It keeps you wondering what's going to happen next. Also, it's filled with many missions and sidequests that make the game worth your while. And if you don't find the Storyline that good, there's an Afterstoryline that keeps the game going with many new missions and sidequests to make the game not boring. In the Afterstoryline, you search for legendary pokemon and rare items to help you with completing the game.

Fun Factor
The Fun Factor of this game is a 9 out of ten because the story and afterstory never get boring. They're always making you want to find out what happens next until you finish. Very addictive.

Graphics: 6/10
Gameplay:10/10
Storyline:8/10
Control:7/10
Fun Factor:9/10
OVERALL:8/10

Overall it's a fun and interesting game. You should try it out if you haven't already!
