Graphics Pokemon Light Platinum has some awesome aspects to it. I'll start with the graphics. The graphics in this game are basically the same as any other generation three Pokemon game, with a few variances. I love some of the new art for the Pokemon however. The cities and buildings are still basically the same. The only real difference is how it has done some of the bikes and other items that show up outside of the menu. In fact they have even gone to the point of changing them to where they are actually part of the entire game plot. All in all the graphics are pretty good for a Pokemon game.
Sound The sound is pretty much the exact same as any other Pokemon game, which I personally have never really been all that fond of. I generally just mute the game and put on my own music when I play.
Addictiveness Just like any other Pokemon game, it's very addictive. However, I would say that this one kind of tops it off a little bit more. Between having Pokemon from all 5 different current generations, and the amazing story line, it gives you an experience that none of the others ever could. This game allows you to catch and train far more types of Pokemon, and gives you a much bigger variety of what you can use in your ultimate team. I know I personally like to do things different each time I play, and this game allows me to do just that. With hundreds of different Pokemon to choose from, and several just plain being given to you, it really never gets boring. And we can't forget about the story line. The new evil "Team" is much more fun to take down, not to mention you get to see various legendary Pokemon through out the game while foiling their plans.
Story As I said in the addictiveness section, the story line is incredible. Before I go into it though, this section will have a lot of spoilers, so if you want to find out the story line for yourself, don't read this section. It doesn't even start off slow like most Pokemon games, you are immediately thrown into it with the knowledge that you alone can read an ancient text that your father taught you. Then from that ability you find out that one of the Legendary Pokemon is actually the creator of the Universe, and all it's inhabitants. From there it goes back to the somewhat slow start of training your Pokemon and going to the first city that has a gym, with a few interesting bits along the way. You save Professor Oak, save an entire forest of bugs, and even get to save a little Pichu on your way to the first gym. Not to mention the various rivals you make. Overall the first part of the game is very interesting, yet at the same times it's very similar to other Pokemon games. You are on a journey to beat the Pokemon League of a certain country, defeating an evil organization and saving the world along the way. However one of the great parts about this game, is all the side ordeals. In this game... it really is the little things that count. Not to mention there are so many different things to do. After you complete the first League, just like in normal Pokemon games, there is a second League that you can face. You still get to face off against some of the remaining team members that you demolished in the first half, but this half has a lot more side missions that aren't related to the evil team. After your done with that League... you're still not done. You have the World Championship where you get to face off against Ash Ketchum, the primary star of the anime, for the title of the best Pokemon trainer in the World. Overall this game has an incredible story line and never really gets dull.
Depth This game, for the most part is very similar to other Pokemon games in terms of depth. However it still offers quite a bit more then the others. It has Pokemon from all 5 generations, which that alone, for the people that like to catch and train every Pokemon, offers a massive increase to the amount of time it will take to finish the game. Also, unlike other Pokemon games, this one allows you to catch over 30 different legendary Pokemon, beating the current record of only 5 or 6 without having to trade with another game. Besides that, there are really three different ultimate story lines in the game, allowing the person to get a full feel for the full story line.
Difficulty The difficulty of this game is the same as any other Pokemon game, the more work you put into training your team, the easier it will be. However it is very beginner friendly as there are several instances where you are simply given a free Pokemon to help you out in your journey.
