it was a good game, but it was way to much for what it was
Great price, fast shipping. My 9 year old loves it, spends hours playing it.
This game is incredibly fun. It feels very different from Explorers of Time, even though it's not different by much. I have not finished either game yet, but I still enjoyed the games as much as the first day I got them. A friend of mine bought me Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness after she found out that I had bought Explorers of Time. I love it. This game just keeps all my attention. And I love it just as much. I play this game to relax and unwind.
But that's ok because it takes so long to beat it once. That original series wins over all other Pokemon games because of their repeatability. I think playing this game more than two times would be stretching it. This game has a much better storyline than the first game. Overall it's a must-have for almost anyone with a DS and willing to play a kind of kiddy game. And another improvement over the previous game is that it lasts much longer; you can play all day and you still won't beat it. The overall gameplay is the same but I found it to be much more fun. I gave it 4 stars because it's impossible not to compare it to other games like Pokemon Red version, Silver version, Ruby version, Diamond version, etc.
My recommendation-- 7+ years old, and the player has to have attention span and ability to deal with the frustration of not being able to get out of a dungeon, etc. My 7 year old son is new to the world of gaming and the DS--we got this game along with Mario Kart, and he quickly dismissed this Pokemon game and went with the Kart 100%. I think the depth of the game, and the amount of reading required is a bit much for younger kids to enjoy, but we will revisit in about a year or so.
