Pokemon Silver Version
Review by chrome_nexus
"A very very good game which can take a lot of time!"
This game was released by Nintendo at the same time as pokemon Gold and silver was soon to be joined by pokemon Crystal. In this game you can catch Lugia Lv. 40 and Ho-oh at Lv. 70 and in Gold Vice. Versa.
This game was made by Pokemon, Nintendo, Game Freak inc.,Creature inc. 2003. Silver and Gold we're soon to be joined a couple of years later by crystal which has many advantages but a couple of deadly disadvantage which I was very disappointed about but never mind me. This is a must play game!
Graphics: 7/10
The graphics are quite good but could be a lot better because the black lines around the pokemon look pixelized but the in battle move graphics are still good with the expected move sequences of the old moves like Thunder and Thunderbolt are still the same. The graphics in the field are quite good but the characters and buildings are disproportionate but that is one thing you have to live with that. The graphics are not the best part of the game but don't let that put you off from this game, But these graphics are still a massive improvement from the Red, Blue and Yellow series.
Sound: 8/10
In this game the sound is good and is a great improvement from the Red, Blue and yellow series of games. The in battle music is very good with theme music and special move sounds overall this game is worth playing with your music quite high. The out of battle music is the same for each area of the game probably changing when you enter a house. I think all the future pokemon games will have better sound all we have to do is wait and anticipate. The sound is a bit different in some places compared to pokemon Crystal but that is only a minor difference. The sound is quite high quality and worth at least having on whether it can be on low or high but depending on how loud it is depends on how good it sounds.
Gameplay: 10/10
The gameplay of this game is amazing bringing back old gym leaders and putting them in new places and many new leaders as well as a hidden battle which must be unlocked but I'm not saying anything about that so you'll just have to do this game for yourself. With the new 99 pokemon This game also has the first set of legendary's to roam the johto area and other legendary's are altered between Gold and Silver as in when you get them and what level you get them at. This game is worth putting those many hours in to completely master this game which is very hard to do but is worth the effort.
Overall: 9/10
This game is a must play game if you don't play this game you are denying yourself of something truly amazing so play this game! this game has ok graphics, good sound and a very good gameplay this game has a very long life span like most other pokemon games or other games made by nintendo unlike many sony games. When you play this game you will find yourself playing this for a lot of your free time. All I am saying is if you see this game and can get the money you must get this game
