Alright, Pokémon Light Platinum. A fantastic game all around (excluding the horrible beeping noise when your Pokémon have low HP), this game is not to be missed.
Story: It is a Pokémon game, so the story isn't going to be great, right? WRONG!!! A whole new story with the addition to Team Steam and plenty of rivals. Team Steam, much like the other villains like Team Rocket, want to get the best Pokémon in existence. So, they hunt after the legendary and previously unseen Pokémon Arceus. You arrive to your hometown just as your Professor finished helping a few Champions of other regions to remove evidence of Arceus. Then you are thrown into the "battle" of good and evil... and of course the battle between various trainers throughout the region of Zhery.
Graphics: Like the DS games, really great graphics here. The programmer did a great job. I have yet to experience any glitches as well.
Sound: The only bad thing I can say about the sound is that horrible beeping noise during Pokémon battles when your Pokémon's HP is low. That's really the only bad thing about the music. The rest is great, even when you are using the speed-up button to hurry the game along.
Addictiveness: If the story is bad, I don't stick around the game much, nor if the game is boring or repetitive. This game, however, despite it being a Pokémon game, has a bunch of cool additions: new leaders, new rivals, and other things in the game's description, as well as the ability to trade Pokémon in-game and get them evolved (like when you trade a Spinark for a Scyther, you instantly get a Scizor, although early in the game it probably won't obey you at all). In fact, all trades work this way, so you get a great Pokémon at its max evolution. You also receive rare Pokémon for free from people like Professor Oak, including starters from Johto and Hoenn, not to mention getting Pokémon from Pokeballs like Zorua and Elekid.
Depth: It may have Light in the name, but it is far from it! This game has amazing depth for a Pokémon game, including trades, hunting free Pokémon, and conquering gyms, after finding the gym leaders out in the field with their prize Pokémon. There are also a lot of rival battles, and some after you finish a gym or right before you can heal at a Pokémon Center, making the gym a challenge with all the surprises.
Difficulty: Speaking of challenges, this game is not the easiest Pokémon game I've played (the easiest is Pokémon Frosty, not that great, by the way), but it is not impossible with Potions and Berries. Items are like 2nd Pokémon in this game. If you don't have items, you could end up in a lot of trouble, especially during the Elite 4 and the Champion (whom I have to beat still).
So that is my review, and my very first one at that. Now if you will excuse me, I have to become the Champion!! Alright, Pokémon Light Platinum. A fantastic game all around (excluding the horrible beeping noise when your Pokémon have low HP), this game is not to be missed.
