4 out of 5 stars For my little sister   May 15, 2008
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I ordered this game for my younger sister. She really seems to enjoy playing and has managed to balance playing with schoolwork. She plays by herself or invites her friends to play. She says that the graphics are pretty good and the missions can be interesting, but can sometimes be frustrating.


5 out of 5 stars A kid's review   May 15, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I am a 9 year old kid. This Pokemon Explorers of Darkness has a very intresting storyline but it should be a bit longer because I already finished the game. I am in the last chapter and it took me 20 days to get there.Otherwise it is a very good game.


4 out of 5 stars There's just one big hitch...   May 10, 2008

When you (or your partners) faint in a dungeon, you lose all your money (not such a big deal) and "some of" your items. If you have a particularly difficult dungeon to get through and you faint repeatedly, your chances of making it through the dungeon get lower and lower each time, because you finally get to a point where the only items you've got are the ones you find IN THAT DUNGEON. So, you're going through this horrible dungeon, and you find TMs that you can't use, Bands to hold to boost attack (or whatever), Cheri berries and stuff, but no Oran berries, which are the only things I know of that restore HP. Walk into one Monster House room and you're doomed. I've been in the same dungeon for three days now and it doesn't look like I'll get through it anytime soon. Otherwise, a very enjoyable game for people who like closure (like me), because you can totally sweep the floor of a dungeon and make sure you've gotten every item and explored every corridor.


5 out of 5 stars Mystery dungeon greatness   May 6, 2008

I honestly feel that Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is MUCH better than I expected! I mean, I thought that it would be the same as Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team, but it was better and then some! I must say that one of the best new features would be sentry duty, as it is like a minigame and is like a break from the dungeons. I wish I would have known how easy it was though. I mean, I got it a week after it came out, and four days later, I was working on the final mission before the post-ending. I feel that that isn't that a big of a deal though, and I still think that it is the best pokemon game that doesn't involve catching and training Pokemon like usually.

This game is a GIANT step forward from the GB Advance version! This is the game that that one should have been. I am really not too knowledgable about the Advance game, since I put it aside as borderline unplayable and a major disappointment. The new version is vastly improved. The following areas are its strong points:

First and foremost, a good combat interface. In this version, your head Pokemon can select one of four moves, just as in the regular Pokemon games. And there is no burdensome double-button punch to use a move. You can also choose an ordinary attack, which is not a move, to save moves: a welcome Pokemon innovation.

Attractively drawn dungeons

Good and varied music

A good story line

Lots of interesting tasks and situations

The real comparison is with the recent Shiren Mystery Dungeon, also a Chun product. This one is less brutal and much larger-scale, though both are excellent games.

Highly recommended for roguelike fans.

I assume that this rating and description can also apply to the "Explorers of Time" version of the game, since the strategy guide says there are only minor differences.
