Pokémon Fire Red is probably my favorite Pokémon game. I never really liked the original Pokémon games of the Game Boy due to the glitches and lack of information given. Fire Red, whilst not bombarding you with information and variables from the get-go, feels like the developers were trying to let you learn at your own pace. The difficulty curve is just right, but the AI seems to lack intelligence when it comes to deciding when to use items and which attack to use, but if it did know, the game would be a lot tougher because some trainers have well-rounded move-sets designed to sweep down certain types of Pokémon.

The graphics are sleek and look just as polished as the three Generation Three games. Sprites have good details and colors but are still plagued by just sitting there and looking strange whilst you hit them with your Tackles and Flamethrowers. However there are a lot of different sprites so animating them all with different attacks and idle animations would have most likely pushed down the release date. I found myself head banging to some of the tracks. Also, unlike the other Game Boy Advance Pokémon games, this game isn't plagued by trumpets screaming into your ears the whole time. At least, if it did, I couldn't hear it - I was too busy playing the game!

The game-play is pretty damn good for a Pokémon game. Sure, it will become tiring after a while, but this isn't a game designed to be beaten in one sitting. The main campaign will take you about ten hours to complete, and then there's breeding, the post-game and legendary Pokémon to catch. If you squeeze everything you can out of this game, you might be able to get as much as thirty hours out of it. Sadly, I don't find the story any good. We all know about the plot-twists at the end of the game, but to be honest, I saw them coming from a kilometer away.

I don't rate games on difficulty or story, though. I average out the depth, graphics, addictiveness and sound to find my final score. This game gets an 8.5 out of 10. It is pretty long with a lot of replay value, so you will get your money, well, Viz, out of it. What reduced the rating is that I honestly don't feel motivated to play it again, but I am confident in saying this is the most fun you'll get out of a Pokémon game.

Great review. I liked how detailed it was and all the information you gave for it.
