being destroyed by natural disasters. Its up to you to explore dungeons filled with wild monsters and uncover your true destiny and purpose in a game where you get to "be" a Pokémon.The lowdown:Rather than being one of the core role-playing games in the Pokémon series this is a spin-off based on ChunSofts long running (in Japan at least) Mystery Dungeon series. The basic idea is that you enter a random generated dungeon and defeat all the wild Pokémon you find within it. Most of the standbys of the Pokémon world also make an appearance, including Technical Machines that enable you to lean new abilities, resistances and weakness to different elemental attacks. You cant capture wild Pokémon but you can recruit them to your team, which adds something to your strategic options. Admittedly the game can get repetitive, but theres generally enough to see and do until the "real" Pokémon sequels come out sometime next year.Most exciting moment:The combat is a clever mix between real-time and turn-based combat, with wild Pokémon moving about the dungeon at the same time as you. You can have four Pokémon in your team at once, with the computer controlling the other three, and each can have four attacks or abilities each. If youre sensible youll put together a varied team so youve got an attack ready for whatever enemy comes your way.Since you ask:As with most Pokémon titles there are two versions of the game, in this case one for the DS and one for the GBA. Theyre both essentially the same, except with different distributions of Pokémon in each. The DS does have a couple of extra options though, as well as an easier to use touch screen interface.The bottom line:Not the deepest Pokémon game ever but youll still find yourself wanting to catch em all. -HARRISON DENT

My husband bought me a Nintendo DS lite for my birthday, very kind of him, I think it is to keep me busy so I don't notice the football is on! I do love the DS, my only problem being the expense of the games, normally Ł25 - Ł30 for the new releases. When browsing in Woolworths on the weekend, I found Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Blue rescue team, which had been reduced to Ł14.00. I've always loved pokemon so I quickly snapped it up.
Once home, I quickly skipped over the booklet (I'm always too impatient to read properly) and started up the game. To my suprise, you have to fill out a little multiple choice personality quiz to begin. This decides what your nature is and therefore which pokemon you will be. Your gender also plays a part, as some pokemon are only either male or female. I turned out to be Bulbasoar and was prompted to enter a name. You then get to decide who is going to be your partner from a choice of ten pokemon. I chose Pikachu because he has always been my favourite! There you go, now your rescue team has started, it's time to get some practice in. From here the story is structured and you follow directions. Firstly, it is important to point out that you are not really a pokemon at all! You are in fact human and have suddenly woke up to find you are a pokemon. Sometimes as you awaken, a strange dream will stirr, but you can never quite remember what has happened. Hmm... Anyway, you are shown your home and your mailbox which is just out the front. You need to check this often for pokemon news and rescue requests. When you enter your home, you willbe asked if you want to save your adventure.
You are then shown the town with it's helpful bank, storage facility, shop and friends advice centre and then on to the post office. This is where your adventure really starts. As you are a new team and no one has heard of you yet, you can find and choose missions from the notice board. Once jobs have been chosen, you need to accept them before venturing on your mission, otherwise you end up running around in circles looking for a pokemon in distress which isn't there! When your mission has been accepted, you run in the general direction of the dungeons and a helpful little screen pops up with an open envelope showing which area you need to choose. The list of areas will grow with other missions you are chosen for, these are rescues where a pokemon comes directly to you for help and these will be shown on your jobs list by an exclamation mark. For every successful mission, you will receive rescue team points which boost your ranking and also a gift. This may be money or helpful items such as max elixer which are useful to keep your pokemon in tip top shape when fighting the enemy. Also, when venturing around the dungeons, look out for these helpful items, but make sure you take the trip into town often to deposit these into storage as your toolbox space is limited and if you are defeated in a dungeon, you will loose all the money and items you are carrying. Apples are important as your pokemon will become hungry with all this fighting and will faint if unfed. These are also useful to store, as some battles will be more difficult than others and require more strength and energy.
As with the usual pokemon games, you will level up as you defeat your foes, this becoming increasingly more difficult the higher level you are. In most pokemon games you can see your level status slowly growing and see how many points you need to the next level, although this unfortunately is not available in this game. Your status bar which is shown in the top screen as you play shows how much energy you have left and this lowers when you are attacked but can quickly go back up when moving around. The status of the other pokemon in your team in shown aswell. The more successful you are, the more difficult the rescue missions become, even saving other rescue teams! As a result you will have to be more careful what items you save to take into battle and what level you are to survive.
Searching the post office notice board and completing missions is a great way of finding useful items, gaining rescue points and leveling up while waiting for these bigger missions, but also if you take a right at the roundabout in town, you will find Makuhita Dojo, with different mazes with certain types of pokemon i.e. water maze only contains water type pokemon. There are no items to collect in these training mazes, but it is useful to try yourself out against the different pokemon types and find your weaknesses.
Some pokemon you help and some you fight, will be so impressed, they will want to join your team. You can decide if you want them or not and give them nicknames. It's good to take them with you on easier missions to level them up. All your friends stay in their own areas and you need to buy these areas from the wigglytuff club in town for certain types of pokemon to be your friends and join your team. (although a couple af areas are given to you at the beginning.)
I bet you want to know the secret? Why your human has turned into a pokemon? Well, I can't tell you, not only would it spoil the game, but I don't know yet because I haven't finished!
Well, I could write a lot more, but this review is already too long, so I conclude: It isn't as good as the usual Pokemon games, I always have a great satisfaction when capturing a new pokemon and adding it to the pokedex and obviously you don't get that with this game. Also, there is a lot of fighting to do in the dungeons, which can be really repetative. I feel it is a game which you will play for a few days, put down for few for a rest and pick up again as you want to win the next mission and find out what is going on. Personally I found it easier to use the normal controls rather than the stylus, which doesn't worry me, but I know a lot of people find this dissapointing. I don't know why, the controls are included on the DS for a reason! Enjoy.

Review of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team (Nintendo DS)
Advantages: Long Play Life, Introduction of Pokemon in 3-D on the Nintendo DS Disadvantages: Can get Repetitive, Minimal use of Touch Screen
With the release of the Nintendo DS, a world of new ways to play were introduced but as many gamers found out, there was no Pokemon RPG game to go with it and the only Pokemon game on offer was Pokemon Dash. But after a long wait, the Nintendo DS finally got its first Pokemon RPG in the form of POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON: BLUE RESCUE TEAM.
THE GAME
As you load up the game, you are greeted with a colourful title screen with Pelipper occasionally flying ... ...the main menu shows up with two options and some chirpy music. Once you chose the new game option, your POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON experience begins.
The screen goes black and the game asks you for some information about you (don't worry; it won't take your credit card details). You must now take a personality test to determine which pokemon you will become. This personality test comprises of a selection of randomly chosen questions about you. Once ...

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team - Nintendo DS
INTRODUCTION
Last year I got a Nintendo DS at my birthday and I was looking for a pokemon game for it, as I have all the other GBA and GBC Pokemon games because I LOVE Pokemon. But sadly, there were no Pokemon games that I didn't already have! Then, at Christmas, I got Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team. I think it's really good but it wasn't as good as some of the earlier Pokemon games.
... ...personality test. Answer this test truthfully and you'll get a Pokemon that matches youre personality. For example: I said that I am quite lonely (which I am) so I got Cubone - the lonely pokemon.
Once you have taken the personality test you will be asked to pick a partner pokemon. This Pokemon will soon become your friend and will stick by you all through the game.
After this, your will then wake up. Then you will find out that you are a human ...

Advantages: Fun, Long Game, Disadvantages: can be quite hard
After playing all the previous pokemon games on GBA like Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Sapphire i decided to have a go at this one on the NDS and boy was the game worth its money. In the previous Pokemon games you play as a human with your pokemon in a Pokeball and battling against other pokemon but in this game you play as a Pokemon, with a Pokemon as your partner. You are a rescue team trying to rescue other Pokemon from various places like Mt Blaze, ... ...The game starts with a Human turning in to a Pokemon. You have to do a personality test to choose which pokemon you are. There are sixteen pokemon that you could be and they are: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Chikorita, Cubone, Cyndaquil, Eevee, Machop, Meowth, Mudkip, Pikachu, Psyduck, Skitty, Squirtle, Torchic, Totodile and Treecko. You then have to pick a Partner for you to rescue other pokemon with. There are ten Pokemon you can choose to be your partner ...

Advantages: Its to do with pokemon Disadvantages: pointless, stupid, bad gameplay in general, expensive
When I first bought this game, I thought 'Wow, new Pokemon game, it must be awesome!' Then I played on it. I would say this is one of the most awful games I have ever been on. It's monotonous, same all the way through, has no plot basically. It follows the story of squirtle and pikachu - you are the lead pokemon, and you can have a rescue group of up to 3 other pokemon whom you meet and rescue from other missions. The basic idea of the game is you ... ...getting attacked by enemies, you rescue pokemon and the normal world is only there for you to shop and save your game. Pretty much a totally pointless game unless you are a hardcore pokemon fan. I don't recommend you buy this game, its a piece of useless, expensive and badly planned out rubbish. ...

...rescue team with a partner Pokémon and save the day. The player meets loads of different Pokémon on various missions while trying to uncover their true meaning and destiny. An interesting story for everyone of adventure and friendship. I think this game is aimed towards the younger generation but can be enjoyed by all types of players.
Things that i most like about this game would be the fact it is a simple and easy game to play, ongoing and you ...
