 A New and Improved Pokemon Mystery Dungeon June 26, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I'm a middle-aged lady who adores Pokemon, and I've also become addicted to Mystery Dungeon games. I loved the first two Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games (Red and Blue Rescue Teams). I wondered if it was worthwhile to purchase this game, since it would probably be a reworking of those earlier games. (Nintendo seems to prefer updating their Pokemon franchise games, rather than discovering new approaches. We're still playing the equivalent of the original Pokemon Red and Blue, but with two screens and better music!)
Anyways, I was delighted to discover that the story mode in this game is about three times as long as in the previous games. And that there's a second story mode which begins sometime after the first story ends. Lots of new dungeons, and all of those rare Pokemon from Diamond and Pearl.
I've read that this game is excessively talky, and I agree with that. Too much time is spent on clicking through cutscenes and conversations. And yet, when I reached the end of the first story mode, I was so deeply moved that I cried.
Even though I finished both story modes about a month ago (and something like 100 hours of non-story playing time), I am truly enjoying the challenge of beating Zero Isle (the equivalent of the previous games' Purity Forest, etc.)
If I could ask for only one thing... I wish that there were X-Ray Specs in this game! I miss the thrill of sniping those random Kecleon Shops!
This game is more challenging in several ways. For instance, gummies and Reviver Seeds are much more rare. After feeding my Pikachu every Yellow Gummi that I can find, she is still a three-star IQ.
I love the smoother graphics, the wide variety of previously-unseen Pokemon, and the warmth and kindness of the characters' relationships.
My only complaint is that they should have found something better to do with the second screen, instead of just leaving a set of basic instructions there. The dual-screen format is meaningless in this game, because it plays exactly like the GameBoy Advance version of Rescue Team. All of the action is displayed on the bottom screen, and there is no touch-screen activity at all.
I do recommend this game for Pokemon fans, and for people who'd like to try a fairly simple but addictive Mystery Dungeon game. I've truly enjoyed it, and I will pass it along to my niece who is getting her first Nintendo DS later this summer.

This game and Pokemon Diamond are the BEST games you can get. Explore a new world as a pokemon. You can get Darkrai, Cresselia, Heatran and all the others! I used to think pokemon mystery dungeon was retarded. When I played this game and bought it, it totally changed my mind. PLEASE get this game. IT RULES THE WORLD OF POKEMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (p.s. if U get it U rock too!)
I love this game! May 27, 2008

This game is not too long and not too short but very fun. You get to unlock dungeons like secret waterfall and many more. Once you unlock dungeons you can battle in them and unlock stores in treasure town.
I think this is better than pokemon pearl because you get to go to more places and there is more action. This game is great for any pokemon fan.
My 12-year-old's favorite DS game May 27, 2008
I've never played this game, but my 12-year-old says it's awesome. And judging from the amount of time he spends playing it, I have to believe it's got all the right stuff. It's his favorite DS game of the moment. If your kid has a DS and loves Pokemon, I don't think you can go wrong with this one.

The game is a lot of fun. The thing I like about this version compared to the first Mystery Dungeon game that came out is the fact that your partner shares your room with you, instead of going off to his own area. This game keeps you wondering what's coming next up to the end. And once you finish, you still have challenges to solve.
