Alright. After being away from writing reviews for some time, this is my comeback.

First of all, Pokémon Crystal was a very 'old' version of Pokémon. As it was one of the first ever Pokémon games, my scores are based off the time period and the systems then.

Lets start off with the Graphics. Though the graphics were one of the best with it's time it was not VERY high up. The Pokémon sprites were very well made (thank you Nintendo) as well as the sprites for trainers. Also, one may not realize that Crystal version was one of the first Pokémon games with color and by color I do not mean the little color they added for different cities in Yellow, Red and Blue (for some even Green). When I mention color, I mean full out Technicolor which was impressive considering the time. Overall, graphics is an 8.

Second, we have Sound. The sounds were well executed in this game as you could tell all the sounds from each other (except maybe similar cries like Rhyhorn and Charizard or Omanyte and Machop). Though they were not the actually sounds the Pokémon made, it never is with Pokémon games. Just because they were able to make such an improvement in the sound  quality in this game compared to Red and Blue, I rate sound for Crystal an 8.

Next, is Addictiveness. Like most or all Pokémon games, Crystal was very addictive. Since you are able to actually do more with this game.
When I beat this game, I always restart for the thrill of re-creating the theme of all the different Pokémon from Jhoto and Kanto. Addictiveness is a 9.

 
 The story in this game is longer than most other Pokémon games (even modern ones). Nowadays in Pokémon, you never find that long of a story. For instance, in Pokémon Black or White 2, the story is: 1: Get your starter, 2: Get the badges, 3: Defeat Plasma, 4: Become Champion. Almost nothing comes after that. However, in Pokémon Crystal, you have the opportunity to travel to not one region, but two which is more than any other game (except HG and SS). The story is a 9 as well.

 Second to last is the Depth. Just like the story, the depth is as good or even better. The Depth of this game is amazing! It takes you days to weeks to be able to beat this game unlike the others. By the time you finish this game, you could have beaten any other game (except maybe Fire Red or Leaf Green) twice. The Depth is a 9

 
  Last and (in this case) the least, difficulty. Though other Pokémon games have higher gym levels and longer routes, this game actually doesn't push you as hard to get the levels you need. Also, the leaders are a bit easier. For instance, the first gym is Falkner, a flying type leader. His highest is a level 14 pidgeotto which is highly illogical because the typical level for a pidgeotto is 18-35. Difficulty is the lowest at a 6.

 Overall, this game, though lacking the difficulty, is a fun filled game you will enjoy playing. In addition to having the appeal of one of the older Pokémon games like Red, Blue, Green and Yellow, it also has a longer game play which is appealing to all gamers. Overall, Crystal Version comes in at an alright 8.6
