Summary:
     Pokémon Light Platinum is a game any Pokémon lover would enjoy playing. This game has everything a fan would love and even more than we may have ever imagined possible. The only feature this game is really missing is a spectacular 3D feature but that's not until the upcoming Pokémon X and Y. You start as the rest of Pokémon games, set the clock. Although the journey to getting your first Pokémon is different, instead of walking in the lab or saving the professor its almost as if a test battle persay. Its a very enjoyable experience since Nintendo doesn't differ much in the beginning of the game or the set plot of the entire game at all. Now for details.

Graphics: 9/10
      The graphics in Light Platinum are well done and are a piece of work. Some Pokémon have new sprites and are very well done almost as if done by Nintendo/Gamefreak themselves. The dimension given to this game are also something to brag about. This game, even though being a hack of the 2D ruby, is in a 3D view of the world. Not everything is 3D but for the most part it makes you happy and reminds you of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum.

Sound: 8/10
      The sound in this game, to me, is a step up from the music in other Pokémon games. At least it doesn't annoy me as quickly. Then again I don't really listen to the music or sounds of the game because it is usually muted so my judgement on this is only, in all actuality, of the sound in the first minute of playing. Even though I do not listen to it for long I would expect it to be as the rest of the game and be fine. That is why this is only a 8 because I don't use it but it is not much lower, that way I don't give you a bad idea before playing. This way you just expect it to be the average Pokémon music you hear in the background.

Addictiveness: 9/10
      This game will keep you up playing several hours on end. As long as you are a avid Pokémon fan that is. This game features many things the other Pokémon games do. Your storyline, the contests, may trainer battles, elite 4, and a new addition the Pokémon World Championship. I have not reached that part of the game just yet but I can guess it is not something to be disappointed by. This game all around is just spectacular. I find my self coming back and playing this every few hours because of the range of Pokémon you can have.

Story: 9/10
      The story in this game is a bit different than your average Pokémon game. I mean there still is a Rival team known as team steam (just realized that rhymes) but there is more to the story than just them. Back in the old games there were snorlax in your way and the little quests people would send you on, and this game brought all of them back. It is one thing I have missed from the old games and I'm glad the hacker/developer of this game decided it was a feature worth bringing back in to the game. So all in all if you are a Pokémon fan who is looking for a little bit of a change because the real Pokémon games are just getting a bit repetitive, try this game out and it wont disappoint you.

Depth: 9/10
      I will say that this game has very well created depth. The story has a more details than a normal game, the developer took the time to add most of the Pokémon and made sure all of the fans favorites were in this. It is a very well thought out game and must have took quite some time to create. This game will take you a little longer than your average Pokémon game to beat. There are a few more steps that this game puts you through and some of the tasks harder than others. of them just being tedious and taking some time to do with little reward but you do get through it and end up not regretting it.

Difficulty: 5/10
      The difficulty in this game is split down the middle for me. The items you find along your journey make the game easy. In the average Pokémon game you may find a potion or maybe a ether or a simple TM a Pokémon can learn. Although in this one just in the first town or two you can find a few MAX potions and even the TM flamethrower. Like my gosh. To me it was a bit of a surprise, but the reason it is split is because the trainers you face also have increased difficulty. So although these moves you find may seem inappropriate to be so soon, with the increased difficulty it makes it all more appropriate.
      Another thing under difficulty is that a few Pokémon are obtained through talking to people so make sure you do that. Some are in buildings some are right outside in lab coats it all depends. So far I have obtained a Growlithe and a Torchic. You have the option of the three starters from the hoenn region from a guy in the university. I found this nice but also adds a feel to the game as unrewarding and not really mine. If I had not really loved the Pokémon Arcanine and Blaziken I would have turned these down, but that's just me.
      Last thing under difficulty goes the controls. The controls are just as you set for the rest of your Pokémon games. Your simple arrow keys and whatever you find to be comfortable. These controls to me seemed very easy to learn and did not take long at all to adjust to.

Overall: 9.2/10
      This game when you put all of the above things together makes a very well created game worth playing. Any Pokémon fan would agree. One thing I have heard about but have not experienced myself was a few glitches that may have prevented you from finishing the game. I myself have experienced one glitch where I was not able to move and everything was still going on, it was as if my arrow keys broke. Luckily I talked to the person in front of me again and the game released me from its spell and set me free to roam around. This game as a new map layout and is fun to play. I would suggest it to any Pokémon fan and anyone looking for a good fun game to play for hours.

Once again another great review by you Malkin77! As always I enjoy your reviews and this is not exception. You provide excellent reasoning behind your ratings as always and it flowed nicly and was fairly simple to read and follow along. You broke down the categories in detail and it didn't feel as though I was reading it felt like I was watching the game unfold. As always there are no grammar or punctuation mistakes. Keep up the great work here and excellent job on reviewing on of my favorite Pokemon hacks!

Overall, I think you did a great job reviewing this game. Your detail and the depth in which you describe the game is amazing. I also think your organization is very good as well. I like your format, spacing and the way you clearly highlighted the score you gave, it looks nice and really makes your review look neat and organized and professional.

Great job executing your points and going into depth with your scores, you gave plenty of inormation for each category of the game which is very useful. So great job, keep it up and keep making more awesome game reviews, you are really becoming a great game reviewer! Keep up the great work as always!

Razor-987 : Thank you on being so kind and generous to my creativity. I thought highlighting the scores was a good idea and was hoping someone would say something. Thank you for noticing.

It's no problem, your work is great and you are really good at making really breat quality reviews. You excel at it, for a newbie I would expect 100-500 word reviews but you are the exception and you go above and beyond with your reviews, they are clear, organized, and detailed which are all of the great qualities of a great review. So your welcome and I think your work is outstanding and you are a great reviewer. Keep up the awesome work as always! You never fail to impress me!

Razor-987 : Thank you Razor but i am a member now lol but i understand what you mean

I think you did a fantastic job on making this review! A really long review and well organized and the details where good to read. You have to make more reviews because these are superb! Keep up a good work!

I agree with your review and I also disagree with your review. Your review is terrific and flawless. Each of your categories are organized deeply and well into depth. I know my opinion is different than your opinion but I think that this game isn't as addictive to me as it is to you. I have played this game and it just bugged me because even though it is a hack based off of another Pokémon it does do a good job of having a different plot but this plot is way different than any other Pokémon. It confused me at the beginning but later on I started to enjoy it as I got more involved and moved farther and more deep into this game. Overall if I had to rate it I would give Pokémon Light Platinum a one digit number some where above 5 and under 8 so I would probably give an overall rating to Pokemon Light Platinum to be the number of 7 as it really did not hook me at all. Well it hooked me a little but not much since it starts off somewhat confusing.

Excellent review and I look foward to reading more of your reviews.
