Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team

"New Pokemon Out And It ROCKS"

What if you woke up one day, and you were a Pokemon? What if all of a sudden you find yourself in a NEW world, where you can speak and interact with other Pokemon? The adventure begins when you and your partner set out on rescue missions in a world ravaged by natural disasters. But what is your true purpose and destiny in this Pokemon world? That's the REAL mystery..... (took from the back of the Pokemon Red Rescue Team case)

A new Pokemon game and this time your a Pokemon! Pretty cool ain't it? Fighting your way through dungeons to save Pokemon. And there's more too!

Graphics 9/10 : Really good graphics except for when the Pokemon talk, it is the same portrait unless their expression changes. The Pokemon look really like updated versions of Pokemon from E/R/S/LG/FR and G/S but they walk, talk and more!

Game Play 10/10 : Instead of the same old "I'm a Pokemon trainer and I'm gonna be a Pokemon master!!" story, it is now "I'm a Pokemon and I'm going make the best rescue team ever with my partner!" You get quizzed in the beginning of the game and whatever you get : hasty, hardy, sassy, etc. will be the Pokemon you are. There are like two different modes(you don't choose it). Its first story mode but when you beat that, you are in free mode where you can do whatever you want. I just beat the game a few minutes ago and it took me 13 hours just to beat the story!! Then you get all these new dungeons and thats all I'll say..

Sound 6/10 : Just songs but they are new and don't really do anything. I always thought it's just a waste of your battery in your game boy.

Controls 10/10 : New controls except for directional pad. To open the menu is a new button, and so on. Once you get used to it, you'll be going super fast to open the menu and to attack.

Replay Value 8/10 : It is good the first time through and I think it is worth the money if you recruit ALL of the Pokemon you can or at least the legendary Pokemon and then if you get bored, you can restart but you'll know what happens but it'll be sort of boring because you know what happens.

Overall 8/10 : I prefer to buy it now than to wait later because it is a really good game. It's nothing like all the old Pokemon games and it is worth your money. Even if you think you grew out of Pokemon and you think " I'm too manly for this game!", you're wrong because it might actually be fun for you. It is the best Pokemon game ever.
