BEST IN SERIES!
This is the best game in the series, i think. If you even slightly like Pokemon BUY THIS!

This is the best pokemon yet
if you like pokemon This is the game for you. You Take a personality quiz to determine which pokemon you are (I ended up as Cyndaquil) Then you choose your partner ( I chose Mudkip) then you start doing a series of rescue missions in dungeons. The bosses are legendary pokemon (of course). Yes everything is randomly generated but that is what keeps it interesting If you did the same thing over and over again you wouldn'tAnd you don't evolve until the end but it's still fun even if you don't evolve for a while.Whatever anyone said this game is not repetitive (well if you like pokemon anyway. Yes everything is randomly generated but that is what keeps it interesting If you did the same thing over and over again you wouldn't have any fun(Then it really would be repetitive)for anyone. over all this is my favorite game for my SP and if you have a DS get pokemon blue rescue team.

A Wonderful Experience
I've been a fan of Pokemon in all of its various forms for several years now, so I've seen the gradual evolution of the games, and I have mostly enjoyed them. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is something entirely different though, and I have to say that in my opinion it is by far the best of the lot.

the best pokemon yet
this is the best pokemon game yet at first I had doubts about this game but I found pokemon yellow and played this at my friends house and I couldn't believe how good this game was the graphics are great the poke mon are great too this is a must buy

The best Pokemon game to date
When Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire came out, I was very distraught to learn that some of my favorites from the original Game Boy generation, particularly Nidoking and Persian, were absent from them. Furthermore, since the Advance Generation employs a different system for Pokemon stats and is on vastly different hardware, I could not upload my power Pokemon from Crystal or Blue. And there were some things that annoyed me about Ruby/Sapphire, including the spineless rival and outlandish town concepts (Who builds a town atop trees or inside a crater?).
A tough but fun game
This game is pretty tough mainly because the elite four is hard.But once you beat them theyre are seven islands to explore including island 8 and 9 accesed only through the nintindo events.I gave this game overall 5*****s because the game althroughout kanto and the nine islands are very fun to explore and unlock mysteries.And I gave it 4****s on the funness level because the elite four gets on my nerves because the last battle is your rival and hes plane tough.But it has great graphics and the features like the teachy tv the vs seeker the berry pouchand also has the net ball the nest ball I think it also has the timer ball to.I also like the fact that it comes with a wirrless adapter.But this game can be described in one word and that is fun. ...

Pokemon must have.
When I was about seven or maybe six years old, I was really into pokemon, all these years later and Pokemon Ruby has once again got me addicted to the 'Gotta Catch 'em all' slogan.
AWESOME GAME!!!!
Well to start off you get introduced at the beginning of the story where he gives you a pokemon, which you get to choose who you want to start the game with, if you want to have a real challenge on some of the gym leaders especially winoa, the bird pokemon master you should choose treeko, which eventually evolves into grovile and the several levels later it evolves into sceptile, now if you want to beat the elite four with ease and pretty well all trainers and gym leaders, pick treeko and or mudkip, and the cool part is you get to face the infamous team magma, who their leader, archie, when you get to the cave of origin, once you beat all gym leaders (including sootopolis and mossdeep) archie awakens groudon which causes the worst drought and you go to the cave of origin, use your master ball and it will flawlessly catch the legendary GROUDON, which is pictured onthe front of the box and he starts out at lvl 45. but then when you beat the elite four in evergrande city you can acsses sky pillar which is one heck of a maze, and when you get to the top, you face THE ULTIMATE RYQUAZA Dun dun tshoe

Golden game
It was AWSOME!!! My cousin has a copy. I had never played a pokemon game before. It was the best! As soon I got home I went to buy a copy but I didn't have enough money! I begged my sister to loan me some. She said okay, but when I got to the store she had changed her mind! So my mom gave me the money

very cool
i love my pokemon sapphire.it's a great game for people who have played pokemon before but if your a beginner i would get help from some online website.sadly you cannot trade with gold silver crystal red blue and yellow :-(. for once you actully fight the leader of the team your fighting ^__^!but i'll say it right now after youve betean the game it gets kind of boring.but boring or not its very cool :-)!!

saphire fever
the moment i got my mudkip i instatly cought saphire fever.saphire unfortunantly cant be played on gameboy color.there are two new "evil teams" are team aqua and team magma(sadly there is no team rocket.in saphire the team you are fighting is team aqua(who wants the trouble of fighting two teams).the three legendarias are groudon,kyogre and rayqaza but you dont need to worry about groudon because you dont catch him.kyogre is in the cave of origin and you can either beat him or catch him(i would catch him he is super strong)you can use your master ball if you like but i would save it for latias(make sure you save before you battle him if you are trying to catch him if he beats you or you beat him you can turn of and try again).rayquaza is at the top of the sky pillar and if you dont want to catch him ignore the sky pillar onless you want a good ghost type.if you want to catch him make sure you save and its ok to use your master ball but i would use in on latias.keep in mind you can only catch him after you beat the elite four.there are also three miner legenarias regirock,regice and registeel.to get these three i would recomend either a guide of somesortor a good brail guid.i would only catch one if i were you because the moves they learn are pretty much the same.there wareabouts are regice is an island between dewford and slaport,regirock is at the botom of the desert and registeel is right outside lilycove(where the girl who gives you the berry is.for finding them i would also recomend a guid because i cannot explain there locations are very well.when you get to there locations you will notice that there is no way in.that is because you have not gone to the sealed chamber.i would use a guide to get there because its very hard to get there without instuctions.im going to save you alot of trouble by telling you this when you enter the sealed chamber go right to the front and use dig( wich you get from fossil maniacs younger brother).a door will open and proseed into the next chamber walk to the front put ralicanth at the front of your party and wailord at the back and hit the A bottun(if you want to get emereld read the emerld reveiws in emreld things are differt and alot harder).once your in the tomb of the regis read the brail at the front and it will tell you to use a certain move in a certain place then you can catch the regis(do not use your master ball there are bigger and better things to use it on).i know i mentioned the elite four earlyer so here it is.the elite four(also known as the pokem leage)are a group of four members and the champion.there pokemon typs go dark,ghost,ice,dragon and finally steel(get a good water type and you'll crush the champion).once you beat the elite four the ferry starts working so you can go to battle tower.there are two rooms in the battle tower the level 50 room and the level 100 room.in the level fifty room you fight seven trainers(all there pokemon are level fifty)you can use only three pokemon and you cant use rayquazakyogre or groudon.same rules for the level 100 room only every trainers pokemon is level 100.you cant hook up with c/s/g/r/b/y but you can hook up with firered and leafgreen.your probobly going to catch saphire fever too.

I thought having new pokemon would be fun...

In addition...
Since there are already several well written reviews already posted, I just wanted to add one huge thing that they've failed to mention.
Pleasantly Surprised.
There are numerous trends in the video gaming industry nowadays.Those developers sure have become sophisticated.

AWESOME!!!
OK, so I'm not under 13, but that doesn't stop me from liking this game!IT'S FREAKING AWESOME!!!ALMOST as good as Halo, and that's saying something.The graphics are awesome.The battles and moves you can do are sweet.LOTS of replay value.The only complaint I have is after beating the last boss, the game just ends.I wish you could still walk around and fight and stuff.But no big.

One of the best Mario's RPGs
Nintendo and Alpha Dreams have made an excellent and addictive game for everyone and even better than "Partners in time" sequel.

awesome GBA game
I just ordered Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga from Amazon and the game is awesome. It has nice graphics for the console and is pretty long compared to some other handheld games. The story is fun and the battles are even greater. If you're a fan of Mario or even want to find any good game for your GBA, definitely pick this one up!

Casual Gamer
I own a nintendo simply for the Zelda series. I happened to find a gameboy in my workplace that some kid left behind and decided to purchase a game for it. This game surprised me with many, many hours of entertainment. Just when I think I have it beat the game gives me another epic quest to go on. I even played it for 30 hours lying on the beach of Curacao on my honeymoon! There is some hidden adult humor in it also; the kind to fly over a kids head but make a more muture person chuckle. A massive RPG thats fun for all ages, cant go wrong with that!

A WONDERFUL MASTERPIECE!!!
This is a great game! You can battle monsters without the use of menus. Cool! You can equip weapons, shields, accessories,etc. that you have. Pretty good, right? You can also cook stuff that restore health and mana points(points needed for skills). This is very similar to "Tales of Symphonia", which is excellent. The gameplay is good. So is the sound. The graphic is a little no good,but it doesn't really affect the game that much.

Cybeasts Rising
The ingredients that made previous Mega Man Battle Network games work return once again in the form of Mega Man Battle Network 6 (MMBN6): The uncanny partnership between Lan Hikari and Mega Man; the presence of many battle chips; action-packed, but yet strategic battles; and the possibility of customizing your own weapons. Sure, Capcom have thrown in some new stuff into the package, but the game still plays out pretty much the same as its predecessors. Regardless of this rather run-of-the-mill familiarity, however, MMBN6 still packs a lengthy adventure that will satisfy fans of the series.
Another Megaman Masterpiece
(This same review was originaly posted of MegaMan Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar, before Falzar was added.) I have Cybeast Falzar. However, it isn't that different than it's canine counterpart. The few differences include the navis, the giga chips, and the final bosses. There are also two break navis in Falzar, and two fire navis in Gregar. Here are the following navis for each version:

fun very fun
Well this game was really fun but not very long it took me 1 day to beat this game.IM SERIOUS.but it took me 20days to beat red sun and a few months to beat team colonel.Only thing i would ask is to make the game longer.Well hope megaman zn is longer.

The Last game in the MMBN series.
Well,this is it. The final MMBN game. Now before you utterly cry like a little 3-year candy-obessessed kid, this series is pretty much overlooked by the mainstream gamers. Fighting on a 3x3 grid may seem unappealing to those not familar with the series, but rest assured that is it indeed fairly easy and-hard-to-master mechanic will keep players hooked. In addition, this game introduces two new cybeats, gregar and falzar to the scenario. While some may think that Mega Man is now spamming the market with wave after wave of games, they are doing it for a reason because people love Mega Man. Go play this game and series and find out for yourself.

Excellent game almost identical to original for NES
The first time I purchased this game was for about $55 in Novemeber of 1988 when I was in the 5th grade.It took me till July of 1989 to finally beat this game and then took me till 1991 sometime to beat Zelda II the Adventure of Link.Back in these days the Internet did not exist for the public, and most homes lacked a computer.Back in these days if you wanted tips you needed to buy a magazine or a book.I beat Zelda with almost none of the above. I beat it with nearly pure trial and error. A true and rare accomplishment during the 1988-1989 era in gaming history!
Pretty Good
This is a great game that is identical to the nes version.Unfortunately that also means it is tough to play and figure out what to do/where to go.Without a walkthrough you can wander for days accomplishing nothing, but at least you can save - a great add on.Overall still classic and very good. Great bargain for $10. Check it out and enjoy!

Just as Much Fun as Ever
My husband remembered that this is the one video game from his younger years that he actually "got in to" and enjoyed. So when he got to play Zelda on the Gameboy, it was like he was a pre-teen all over again. The great thing is that our 6-yr-old daughter enjoys the game, too, and is caught up in the story. As for me, I've never played it before, and now that I have, I'm amazed at how engaging and addicting the game is.The graphics don't seem archaic and neither are they distractingly realistic. So the three of us are having a ball...and of course, I'm ahead. ... Read more

WAY BETTER THAN THE FARCE NUMBER FOUR!
This is what should have been the sequel instead of the crappy farce Battle Network Four. The graphics are way better, the story is way better, the end is more satisfying, and the best part is that you don't have to restart to get everything like in the stupid part four. If you hated part four or did not think it was that good, you will be pleasantly surprised by this great game.

Whats Wrong with Capcom?
Fifth instalment of the long and entertainment Megaman Battle Network series. Is the game good or bad and frustrating? Lets see...

good game
this is a pretty good game. it is fun and has many characters and the graphics are nice for a GBA game (face it GBA is not known for its graphics) anyway u start the game as an unkwown janitor who works his way up to popularity. the point of the game is to save the city from daddy big bucks from destroying it! after you beat it does not have much replay value. but for $[...] what the heck.... overall good game well worth the money

This game is so awesome! This is a 12 year old
I'm 12 and recently received this game for my birthday.This game is so addicting!There are 5 missions.I got to mission 3 after 2 days because I couldn't stop playing.you have motives and if you dont refill them, you will collapse.You have to save the town from Daddy Bigbucks by talking to your peeps and befriending them.Buy this or you will miss out on a lot.

amazing...keep these games coming
This is one of the best video games I have ever purchased.I was tired of the linear/platform style wave of games that never seemed to end, so I picked Urbz up as a remedy.Right away I was hooked b/c there is so much to do yet the game never falters.Lots of cool characters, charming graphics, and mini games to exeperience.I really like the 2 businesses you can run--baking stuff as well as making wood carvings.The designers of this game must be geniouses.Go get this one, homie. ...

At last! A Jump button AND a Kill button, in the same game! Thank Gawd!
One of my objections to some of the recent fantasy-style games I've played is that the designers either give you a jump button OR a kill button, but rarely both.This results in a great many terrible games with awkward controls.
Shaman King
I got this game a little after Christmas what happened was I got grand theft auto advance and to be blunt it sucked hard. So I took it to eb games to trade it in and guess what game I got. That's right I gotthis game I fell in love with soon after I got it wich was five minutes. The game is fun and semi addictive.
a must buy for sk fans and sj fans!
This game is absolutley brilliant i love it there are 54 levels in total it is difficult but fun you can use a bunch of spirits like bason lee bai long and much more this is the kind of game that you want to get if your looking for a long chalenging game especially for those manga readers id have to say i am the frickn biggest sk fan in the world so you might need a guide particulary the prima one so even if you dont read the manga buy this you wont regret it i would give this 1 million stars if i could! ...

i think i'll love it
im thinking of buying this game but tell me what is the difference between white version and blue.

MEGA MAN 3 :WHITE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The graphics are awesome! and the style customization and the programs you can put in let you customize to whatever you want! fire, wood, electric, or round to all of them! you can go against your friends navi, but now that i think of it , the villian is REALLLLY corny, but a good one for beginners. but i have been playing them all! im thinking of getting battle network 5. but this is a really good game , and the navis are awesome!

Wow! I'm impressed!
At first, I was a bit skeptic of the BN series. I like all the other megaman series, but I saw megaman BN and didn't know what to think. At first it seemed to different, but while talking to other Megaman community members, they convinced me into trying it. I bought this one because it was the cheapest I could find. I was extremely impressed with the cool action sequences and good storyline. The play is really addictive. I never care for graphics, but if you really are a visomaniac, I suppose you might not like them.

game was ok
Well Bombshell, I liked this game too. I liked it much better then first legacy. It was not as simple, and seem to have a better game length then the first. I am glad to see you seem to like DBZ as much as I do... perhaps a psychic link, lol.

this game is not what i expected because it is way better than i could ever imagined. in the first onee you're only allowwed toplay goku but in this one you get to play vegeta goku,gohan,piccolo and even hercule but you have to find out how. All in All this is a very good game i reccomend buying after you're finished reading this review.

This game rocks. I have games 1 - 5 and this is my fav!One of my favorite part *MAY SPOIL* once you finish the game you have the choice of the secret areas or do the game again a little harder. Of course, you get to keep your chips. Also, it has a cameo apperance of the Solar Boy Django along with Otenko, another favorite! Good but short.

Legacy of Spirits
I thoroughly enjoyed this game.Yes, it does smell of Pokemon in the battle aspects.But I say the graphics are good, and I love the story.It follows Yoh's adventure from episode 1, meeting Manta, Amidamaru, Anna, Harusame, Mosuke, etc.And ends with hints of a new adversary in Zeke.As a fan of the manga and anime, I enjoyed catching up on the early episodes, taking much of the plot and dialogue direct from it and experiencing it.There's a few places it could improve.There was never much of a big challenge, especially as long as I had Amidamaru.I didn't have much need for items so I never ran out of money.I beat the game in about a week.I wish the game made some differentiation when using Unity Spirit Form or when using Oversoul.It'd be nice to play as the other Shamans and get to use their powers, or be able to use their abilities out of battle.But the story and script is well written, if the ga
