Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not up to Pokemon Standard
Poke'mon ranger was an interesting idea when I first heard about it. I knew, going in, that you didn't capture poke'mon forever, just for one use. Still, I wanted to try it and see what it was like. That's where it went sour. The game is annoying at best. The action is repetitive, the game play is dull, and the people in it talk waaaaaaaay too much. Every time I saw the foursome rock back, which is a generous use of the words 'rock band', I groaned, knowing that they would spend forever doing the same little introduction. Beyond wording and repeated ideas, the follow through is beyond iritating. Beyond all the rest of the problems, the main issue I have is with the capturing. It is repetitive, dull and outlandishly annoying. Some of the poke'mon you must capture are so hard that you will try and try and try until you want to break the game and choke the designer. When you do actually capture it, it is from pure luck.
Needless to say, the game had promise, and that promise was broken. The ONLY reason that I completed it was to get the manaphy. I will never again play this game and I doubt I will buy the second.

My son absolutely loves this game and plays it constantly. I am very satisfied in my purchase.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Game!
This game is really good, from touch screen usage to capture pokemon to each pokemons special abilities. Personally, my favorite part is that you can get a Manaphy and send it to your Pokemon Diamond or Pearl.
The storyline is good, and you still have things to do after the game is over. After you do that, then there is nothing to do.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - For 35 bucks, it isn't worth it...
...but for 15, it is. And yeah, Amazon has cut the price, so you can get it for that much!

Pokemon Ranger is a bit different from the other Pokemon games in the series (to be expected). The DS-style gameplay is a refreshing change from the capture-style used in other games (such as Pokemon R,B,Y,G,S,Ru,Sa,Em,FR,LG,D,P,(!!!)), although it can get old. Rather than throwing Pokeballs from a menu command, you "draw" them with your stylus (which generally means circling Pokemon).

I enjoyed the game for numerous reasons (not the least of which is the ability to get a top-notch Pokemon for Diamond), but I wouldn't have if the game was full price. The graphics are not at all special, and the gameplay does get a bit old, but it's entertaining for what it is. Happy hunting!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - My 9 year old's opinion...
A lot of fun. Worth buying. Alittle confusing but that is the point of the game. I would recommend it. I have had it for awhile and I still enjoy it.
