UPNetwork -> Pokénomics -> Reviews -> Games -> Ruby / Sapphire -> Nintendo Power review
Source: Nintendo Power -> Issue #166 March '03 The Pokémon phenomenon hits the GBA with new features and creatures. The simultaneous release of Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire for the GBA reintroduce the world to Pokémon basics and take the series in new directions. As you explore the new Hoenn region and learn of the exploits of Team Magma (Pokémon Ruby) or Team Aqua (Pokémon Sapphire), you'll collect Pokémon and train them to help you earn eight Gym Badges. In addition to the classic one-on-one Pokémon battles, two-on-two battles allow two to four linking players to participate. They also feature Pokémon Contests - a new way for Pokémon Trainers to compete, in which Pokémon are judged in five categories. Only the best-trained and best-groomed Pokémon will take home a prize. The games include tons of new Pokémon, too - some exclusive to each title. Updated graphics and battle animations and a secret hideout that you can decorate add to the fun. Wether you are new to Pokémon or you are a seasoned player, you're sure to enjoy the smooth game play and great features of the latest games. Comments: Scott: Everything that I love about Pokémon - the collecting, the battling, and the raising of Pokémon - is back along with a new story, new characters, and new challenges. The Pokémon contests and two-on-two battles add layers of depth. Jessica: The game play will be familiar to veteran Pokémon fans and simple enough for those new to the Pokémon world to learn. The amount of depth involving the Pokémon contests, berries and other new details is truly astounding. Alan: There's something very satisfying about building a massive Pokédex and training the little critters. Scores: (out of 5 stars) Alan: ***** George: ***** Jessica: **** 1/2 Scott: ***** Steven: ***** |
