I wasn't very impressed with this game. It isn't that the game is bad, it was just very disappointing compared to Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green. I do appreciate that this game was released before Fire Red and Leaf Green however after playing Fire Red I was very disappointed about how much better Fire Red was. That aside this game is still good and well worth playing

Graphics - 7/10

The Graphics on this game are well... adequate. I don't like the graphic of your character however the sprites are quite good and I also like the layout of the towns (if they count as graphics).

Sound - 6/10

Once again very disappointing on the Game Boy Advance. However this is the one category that Pokémon Sapphire beats Pokémon Fire Red. The Legendary Pokémon battles music are good but not epic. The music for in game isn't very impressive, as is the in battle music. But at least it doesn't have the horrific Pokémon sounds when you begin wild Pokémon battle.

Addictiveness - 7/10

I will admit that I did end up playing this a lot however I did not come home everyday and immediately turn on the laptop wanting to play it (like Fire Red) however it will take up your time and is still very enjoyable.

Story 6/10

Not very exciting. Team Magma and Aqua I wasn't impressed with. Not much else to say really.

Depth 8/10

Overall there is not much to do after the main game. Then you may be wondering why I have given it an 8. There is only 1 word for it. REGIES. It is so entertaining trying to get them, so complicated and so FUN!

Difficulty - 6/10

Really easy game. The one difficult area is the Pokémon League which is quite hard to defeat.

I hope you have enjoyed reading my short review on Pokémon Sapphire, please rate as your opinion is appreciated.

I myself  am a huge Pokemon Sapphire fan. Although I do agree with you on your review. It doesn't compare to Pokemon Crystal or Fire Red for me at least. However I do really like the feature of where you can make and design your own base. This is an honest review, and that is what I was looking for. Thank you

I like this game a lot but I personally prefer Pokémon emerald because in this game there isn't much you can do after the elite 4. Whereas in Pokémon emerald you can catch both groundon and kyogre as well as try and complete the battle frontier.
