4.0 out of 5 stars an extremely original racing game, July 9, 2005

This review is from: Pokemon Dash (Video Game)

I first played this game not expecting much, from a weird little pokemon racing game that looks like you're running across old-school RPG world maps. But I was pleasantly surprised. This game doesn't offer all that much in graphics or game play, and it is a bit repetitive, but what it does offer is pretty darn good, strategic and innovative.

Right from the beginning just the way you move is innovative. Everything you do in this game is done differently from any other game out there. And I think that's a good thing, cause it's fun.

Stick with it through the first few stages. Then you will gain the ability to fly with a hot-air balloon, you'll have to learn to plan ahead a little bit for your next move, and pretty soon you'll forget about the mediocre graphics -- every move you make will have a bit of strategy to it. You can beat the other Pokemons on your first try in the easy level in most of the stages, but a real strategy fan or Pokemon fan will want to learn every little trick you need to complete each stage faster.

Don't get me wrong - Pokemon Dash is not the best game I have played for the DS. If you're only getting one get Mario 64 or Kirby Canvas Curse or WarioWare. But if you're willing to give it a little bit of time you may be pleasantly surprised by this game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta Race 'Em All!, March 16, 2005

Not alot of people still accept Pokemon as a trilling game anymore, but this one changes it all. All you have to do is race against other Pokemon using your current Pokemon and its special abilities. If you have your FireRed, LeafGreen, Emerald, Ruby, or Sappire also attached to your DS while playing Pokemon Dash, you can play on new maps based on the Pokemon you've already caught. You might think this is some sort of expansion, but once you get the hang of it (which is pretty easy, just rub your character forward) you'll be playing it everywhere you go! You can't catch other Pokemon or trade (or do anyhting with another DS) with Pokemon Dash.

I reccommend this game for everybody, but the older group might generalize Pokemon and I dont think would want to get it.

I myself cant get enough of this game. If you like adventure games, I also reccommend Animal Crossing DS because of its exciting online feature.

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Pokemon Dash (Video Game)

This game is so fun and you easily become attached to the game. I got it and I can't stop playing it ever since. I would reccomend it to any pokemon or racing lover. The graphics are pretty good for a pokemon racing game and its a totally different plot for a pokemon game!
