Ah, Pokemon Light Platinum. A great game where you explore 2 regions that aren't found in the original games, Zhery and Lauren. To be honest, the first time I played Light Platinum, I hated it. I couldn't get past the 3rd or 4th gym, and being the hothead that I am, immediately rage quit. A little while later, I came back to this game as one of my RGR friends wanted me to play it. Reluctantly, I cooperated, and it was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made on Vizzed. This was one of the best hacks I've played on Vizzed, if not THE best. I've beaten the game 3 or 4 times now, and nevertheless, I love talking about this game. Anyways, on with the review! (This is my first review that I have ever made for Vizzed, so please keep that in mind when you're about to set your computer on fire

).

Graphics: 9

This game has great graphics! On top of the pretty decent graphics already in place from Pokemon Ruby, the maker of this hack, Wesley FG, took it one step further. I don't really care about the graphics that much unless it's really bad, but this game's graphics stood out, but for the right reasons. The game characters all look nice and they look like they could be found in a real Pokemon game. The buildings, bodies of water, etc, all look great, and the Pokemon look good too. The reason why I gave it a 9 for graphics instead of a 10 is because of some glitches, albeit minor. In certain places, you are able to "climb houses" by simply stepping back on a house tile, but only a small number of houses allow you to do this, maybe 2 or 3. There were actually two bigger glitches that I found when I played this game. I hopped over a ledge and into water, and I kept walking on this small lake. I couldn't get out, so I lost my progress after my previous save. Another glitch in this game, albeit a helpful one, is the masterball glitch. I don't know if the maker of this hack intended on making this glitch happen, but you can basically get as many masterballs as you want, if you spend a few minutes repeating a simple process. Besides these glitches, I loved the graphics!

Sound: 7

The sound in this game is pretty much the same as the original game. I usually don't listen to video game music, especially Pokemon, but I love the music from Gen 3. It's pretty good, in my opinion, but since it's basically the same as the original game, I can't give it anything higher than a 7, as not much work was done in this category. No offense or anything

. I'll give it a pass, as sound isn't one of the main things I look for in Pokemon games.

Addictiveness: 10

This is pretty self explanatory, considering the fact that I already said that I have beaten this game a few times. I love this game so much! No matter how many times I play this game, there's always different things I can do to make it exciting. In my opinion, the part that made this game so addicting was the challenge of the first elite four and the World Championships. The first elite four was pretty hard and usually takes me at least 2 tries to beat it. If I'm being honest, the entire Lauren region is garbage, but that's ok. It's sort of like a resting time in between the Zhery League and the World Championships, and I usually beat the whole Lauren region in 4 or 5 hours. I love the wide variety of Pokemon that can be obtained in this game, and love how, similar to GSC or HGSS, there are 2 regions, with 16 badges to obtain. Anyways, this game is very addicting and I want to play this game again very soon.

Story: 5

As with most Pokemon games, with Mystery Dungeon and Ranger games being the exception, this game's story isn't all that great. I mean, it's alright, but it's like any other mainstream Pokemon game. You start in your home town, get a starter, journey through the lands, battle gym leaders and elite four, and defeat the evil criminal organization. One of the few things that this game had that was better than real Pokemon games, in terms of story, was the abundance of rivals. You have a truckload of rivals to battle, in both regions. They're pretty weak for the most part, but it's free EXP, so who am I to complain

? To sum up the story, it's not much more than your average Pokemon game, and that might be a good or bad thing, depending on how you look at it.

Depth: 10

Pokemon Light Platinum is a very deep game. As stated before, there are 2 regions to journey, Zhery and Lauren, respectively. Zhery is very deep and takes a little while to finish. There is a whole lot of stuff to do, and the trainers here are actually good. Lauren has the same area size (relatively), but there aren't many things to do there. You can easily finish the whole Lauren region in a couple of hours, depending on how much you grind. Even though Lauren is pretty short, I feel that the Zhery region more than makes up for that. This, on top of the fact that you have a World Championships with the 128 best trainers in the world, which makes for 7 battles. Light Platinum has so much to offer in a lot of aspects like gym leaders, trainers to battle, Pokemon to capture, and legendaries to capture.

Difficulty: 9

Now, for this section, you have to take in to consideration the fact that I'm a total noob. I tend to finish most Pokemon games with little trouble, but I found this one to be quite challenging. If you don't grind a lot, then this game could be almost impossible for you. The Zhery gym leaders aren't that hard, but their elite four is pretty challenging. The Lauren league, as I have said before, is a complete joke. If you beat Zhery, you literally do not need to train any further to beat the Lauren elite four (however, I would suggest training so you don't get abused in the World Championships). Basically, I'd give it a 10 for difficulty, if not for the Lauren region. The Zhery region is a great challenge, and the World Championships are very hard as you have to beat 7 progressively harder trainers in a row, without being able to heal your Pokemon in between battles, even with your own items.

Overall: 9.5

You're probably wondering how I gave it a 9.5 when I rated some categories relatively low. I tend to want different things from games, and not necessarily all of the 6 areas are equal in my opinion. Some matter a lot to me, and some barely matter to me. Anyways, this is probably the best hack on Vizzed, and if you haven't beaten this game, I highly recommend playing it. You might not have liked it the first go-around, as I did, but you might really like this game if you try it again. This was a great game, and I can't wait to play it again, whenever I have the time.

Your review was good, couldn't really read to much of it with my computer so on fire tho. You added a good amount of detail in your review and you really knew what you were taking about. Great job.

RDay13 : Great review man, I happen to like this Rom Hack a lot so seeing one of my friends liking it is even better. May I suggest you playing the Pokémon Ruby Destiny series (Not on Vizzed of course but you get the drill).

You did great on this review! It is detailed, but short enough to read in one sitting. You actually gave examples, and actually have played this game. You did a swell job. I hope to read more from you sometime.
