Review - Pokemon Platinum (DS)

First things first, this is an absolute beast of a game. Most full priced major console games are about 10 hours long, not including multiplayer, yeah? Well this took me 60 hours to clear, and I'm having more fun building a powerful team and battling online, as well as completing my Pokedex.

The game itself is still just the basic Pokemon formula and is roughly the same game as Diamond and Pearl, but is still worth playing through again. The new Pokemon are still not as good as the classic ones we all know and love, but they're not as useless as R/S/E additions such as Luvdisc.

I can't really review this game in depth because it is almost exactly the same as the two previous games, with only a 3D puzzle near the end and some Pokemon locations as difference.

Pros

Long, but not difficult.
The Pokemon formula is still one of the best base games ever made.



Cons

A rehash of Diamond and Pearl


Overall

If you don't have any of the previous two, pick this up. It's an RPG that gets the point between fun grinding and boring grinding nicely and is plenty long for your money. One of the best on the DS.
