Where do we start with this, very disappointing. 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 Ruby 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 Ruby, please rate as your opinion is appreciated.

Well I hope you know that Pokémon Ruby doesn't involve Pokémon Fire Red and Po ken Leaf Green so you should not compare this game to those other two games. Pokémon Ruby is in the series with Pokémon Emerald and Pokémon Sapphire. This game came out two years earier so yes obviously Fire Red and Leaf  Green would have better audip, graphics, and storyline.
