Pokemon Ranger for Nintendo DS Reviews by Gamers

I am very surprised at how much fun this game is. For me, the last two spin off titles (this and mystery dungeon) have been the best experiences I have ever had with pokemon. More or less this title follows a very similar plot to all of the others (except for mystery dungeon), what makes this game unique is the way you catch pokemon. Essentially, you use the stylus to "circle" around a pokemon you want, several times, and bam theyre caught. Where this gets interesting is being able to use other pokemon abilities to aid you in capturing. The entire game can be controlled with the stylus, and it makes a huge difference. Not too many games can use the stylus for the entire game, well, but this one does. The graphics are cute (theyre more like megaman battle network than the typical pokemon style), the sound is good, everything is good. the story is the only part i find a bit lacking, but its easy to oversee something like that when the gameplay is as good as this titles is. best pokemon to date.

This is a great game, though it is quite easy to beat. The new stylus system is very easy to get used to and fun to play with. Though it was a quick game, it had a great story line and there was never a dull moment. Once you’ve beaten the game, you can go back and try to catch all the Pokemon you missed during regular game play. There are also some mini-games in the form of capture challenges.

I would suggest this game for Pokemon fans, and also for anyone who is interested in a fun game that doesn’t require a lot of thought.
