Ok, this is my First Review of a game and under these circumstances I do apologize. However,I seem to have ended my run of playing this otherwise magnificent hack of Pokémon Ruby due to a bug or glitch which prevents me from enter Mt.Drake even though I entered it once before. It was the first time I near lashed out in the chat room and a heart wrenching one for me too at it was the first time that something of this nature happened to me. I would blame it on poor debugging and I believe that in my personal opinion that if even one bug
is in the game that could potentially prevent its completion, then it inst ready for commercial release. Not to say that because of one or a
few glitch/bug oversights doesn't mean the creator of this hack did a terrible job in making this altogether. In fact I think he did an excellent job with this hack., it just that there is a chance you may not be able to complete the game, which sucks if you like to grind crazy. At least the game is playable and there are hacks which aren't even finished, so at least we should be grateful for a hack that is complete content-wise.
Any who, while I might have suffered some bad luck on my end, do not let my unfortunate experience deter you from playing an awesome
hack. Now to get down to business and to state the reasons why I rated each category as this part is mandatory in reviewing.

  Difficulty:8/10-Normally id say that all pokemon games are so easy they deserve a 1/10 and for this game would have sort of been no exception to that, except this is just simply not the case. The levels seem to spike too high mid to late game, and especially when reaching the 8th gym i had to grind more so than usual just to stay on top of whatever would come after the 8th gym. The AI is sub-par as always
and the pokemon in this game make it so a broader chance for difficulty increases but other than that, super high levels make this game so much harder than any Pokemon game GameFreak ever made. I can't stress this enough, grinders have a bit more of a chore grinding and non grinders must deal with potentially being weaker than their opponent. Cool Story Bro Time,or CSBT:When i got cheated out of game completion and was getting reay to do the Mt.Drake storyline quest and getting the 8th gym badge afterward, my team was at lvls 62-65.
By now i would have gotten ready to rofl stomp the champ in any other pokemon game. In my opinion they levels were a tad to high.
That is not to say anything about the game's otherwise piss poor difficulty other than levels which give this game an otherwise low-grade
challenge. And to be honest i don't really like much of a challenge when it comes to playing pokemon. Thats what competitive pokemon
player versus player is for, at least that is my subjective opinion so people,learn to deal with it. I just like to have fun playing pokemon casually when im playing it single player. An this has been my take on the game's difficulty rating.

  Depth:7/10-This game definitely has a high depth rating, if only because it has alot of content most 3rd gen games,let alone most 3rd gen hacks don't have. More pokemon to catch and work with, many sidequests need to complete to advance the storyline, more grinding needed
to keep up with the level spikes, and longer dungeons needed to navigiate through. Definitely this game has a lot to offer, much more than what i stated but saying anymore here would be revealing spoilers. Most of the content i couldnt even get to beacuse i got screwed out of
completing the game. Anyways, yeah i just think that this game has a lot to offer. but i couldnt rate higher cuz i didnt get to complete the first half of the game's content. And this has been my take on the game's depth rating.

  Story:8/10-Superb Storyline featuring every legend in the game and the characters you encounter are quite surprising as well. However,
all i will say is that the storyline is well done compared to some hacks out there and definately outclasses the storyline from RSE. Would have rated it higher but as i said before didn't get to finsh the game to an unfortunate bug within the game. And while i could go further detailing the quality of the storyline. that would however potentially reavel some spoilers, so no i say. This has been my take on the game's
rating of the storyline. All i can say is that the storyline may seem a bit random, but it is well executed in my unbiased opinion.

  Addiction:10/10-How ironic that someone who has solemly vowed never to play this game EVER AGAIN has given this particular rating a
perfect 10/10. I will give you all the best in-depth and well detailed explaination for this as best i can. All i can say is that even with the game's somewhat more challenging storyline and high level spikes, i had a blast leveling my pokemon and visiting these unique places
and going on a new adventure as well as meeting all these awesome characters in the storyline. I would be the first to tell you that every
pokemon game should be ranked high in this factor. Getting even more choices in regarding catching pokemon and raising a team is
more than half the fun here. I actually could say that everything from the towns i visited, the battles i had and the storyline and all the addiction factor is what will keep people hooked until the very end of the game. And had the unfortunate circumstance were i got screwed
never occured, then i would still be playing it possibly to the very end. At the very least i can't let what happened to me affect my overall opinion of this game, nor should my bad experiences and misfortune with this game keep you from playing it as well. To say the least any
true Pokemon fan will indeed be hooked on this, moreso then they usually would. This has been my tak to the game's addction rating.

  Sound:5/10-This is one of the categories i truly look foward to in ever game i play. However im gonna keep this short and sweet beacuse
this game virtually has the same soundtrack as ruby and sapphire. Not worth explaining this all so ill just say that it's heard this all before don't really care about this category kind of thing. Yeah the RSE Soundtrack id decent and great for it's time but im just too used to it and when i knew there arent any original soundtracks here, i knew i would just ignore this category and remain neutral on it. And this ladies and gentlemen, is my take on the game's sound rating.

  Graphics:3/10-Im gonna be honest when i say in my opinion when rating a pokemon game such as this, imma say graphics really don't matter to the point where a lower score would value much better than a higher score in this category. While most of us won't really appreciate or notice the change in graphics from hack to hack, i will say that the graphics were slightly enhanced here and there and the tilesets may differ from those used in the original game, but it isnt enough to warrant any notice form most of us who don't pay any attention
to the graphics, much less from people who don't even care about graphics like me for example. And in conclusion, graphics is only the minium of what pokemon games offer so try not to value graphics to much when rating pokemon games, i know i don't. And this my friends
is my take on the graphics rating as well as my opinion on the gategory in general.

  Overall:8/10-Why i rated this otherwise perfect game an 8/10 you ask? Well i would have without question given this game a 10/10 but
unfortunately due to the game not being properly debugged, there is a chance that one will never finish the game's storyline and for this i must give it a 8/10 and would actually give as low as a 6/10, but the game is just to awesome in my opinion and doesn't deserve any lower than a 8/10. I know the creator did his best in making this hack and this hack as a result has quite a bit to show for it. Unfortunately, not all
can enjoy going through the game in full if there is a chance to glitch up and prevent you from completing it. So in this sense it is far from
perfect. The game itself is perfect in almost every way. And this had been my rating of the game overall.

   I will say that my experiences with the game to catching and raisng my team getting 7/8 gym badges fighting the evil team and meeting new characters and battling some of em to eventually train my pokemon to lvl 62-65 and eventually finding out that i got screwed afterward is just something i had enjoyed up until that very moment. All i can say now is that i had a chance to clear my head and write this review. I can safely say that while my opinion on the fact that this game should not have been released without more extensive testing, my bad experience at the end of my first and most likely last playthrough should not be grounds for refusing to playing an awesome hack such as this. However i will say that with every good thing comes a downside and for playing this awesome hack, the simple fact is that if you invest hours upon hours getting really far into this game, you can expect to be screwed by some glitch that prevents you from going any further and having to restart. If that should ever happen to you all i would giveout my sincerest sympathies and for you to go and risk investing any of your time into playing this awesome hack only to get nothing to show for it, then it just might be worth investing wheter or not you complete this game or not. Do not let my unfortunate circumstances from letting you play this awesome hack and trying it out.  Now that my head is more calmer, i can safely now apologize to those who has endured my rage. Also i would like to thank you all for reading this review and again i do apologize that my first review is in light of my unfortunate circumstances with the game and i can't stress enough how i had to hold back my emotions just to write an unbiased review of this hack without letting that one incident mar my review of this game. Until next
time this is  Five-Gate Omega.

Wow, this really was a fantastic review. I want to see more. I'm looking forward to whatever else you might write.
