Pokemon Platinum is the latest Pokemon games in the series and also the greatest. It has new Pokemon, some new music and awesome sound. The replay ability on this game is incredibly great. There is always some thing to do even after the main story line ( which in fact has changed dramaticly). Also this review may contain spoilers. If you want to be surprised by what happens through out the course of the game, please do not read!!!
The graphics are really good but I would have loved to see more improvement. The in battle graphics are much better but the walking around graphics should have been changed more. Having said that the graphic are still well polished and look beautiful. They are more colourful and brighter the the last game. Also not as blocky looking if you know what I mean.
The sound is awesome. Plain and simple. The music is not changed much but that is good thing. I loved the old music but the few changes here and ther make it all the more better. I also enjoy the little sercrets in the cries of pokemon. If you press the replay button on the pokedex and slow it down you sometimes hear something cool. Example: Rotom, Unkown, Starly
The gameplay is some of the greatest I have ever played. It has awsome battles with loads of people, brilliant story line that keeps you hooked untill the very end. I love how even after you beat/capture Giritina in the distortion world, Team galatic still is involved with the game for a short while. The expansion of the pokedex helps a whole lot to ( goes from the original 150 to a whopping 210!), and I found the added Pokemon make for a better team making. Example my team was Staraptor,Magmortar,Electriver,Torterra,Giritina,and Houndoom. Four out of the six you couldn't get before national dex and with out them this game would have been a lot harder.
In my opinion, (what reviews are all about) this game will last untill the next Pokemon game comes out. If we do some math here that will be in about 2 years ( Saphire/Ruby 2003 Emerald 2005 Pearl/Diamond 2007 PLatinum 2009) What makes this game so replayable is the endless situations. One time you might start out with turtwig the next piplup or chimchar, one time you might catch a starly one time you may not. What I am getting at is the core experience (story line) will always be the same but the other things will always be different.
Overall I find this game to be one of the greatest. It has a gripping story great music and awesome new fetures like the battle frontier. I think that the graphic could have been improved more from the last game but still are pretty nice looking. If you love Pokemon or trying it for the first time this is a great place to start!!!
