    5 Stars A soul of silver. 19/06/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Many that are hard to sum up into words.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not easy to start a new game.

    After the success of Leaf Green and Fire Red for the gameboy advance, there was a great demand for the remakes of pokemon games. Leaf Green and Fire Red introduced the original legacy of Red, Blue and Green that turned into a worldwide franchise. Pokemon Yellow came out after the success of three games, and then Gold and Silver came into the scene that introduced us to more pokemon. At the time Pokemon still had the slogan, "gotta catch 'em all", but after the generations of games gone by they've eventually dropped the slogan. Many fans demanded a remake of gold and silver for the gameboy ... more

    5 Stars The best Pokemon game to date 29/04/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A great re-make of a classic game. Improved graphics, gameplay and longevity. New features.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Still can't catch them all. Takes weeks to complete.

    A Poke-Renaissance My reasons for buying this game were simple; I bought a DS Lite second hand last year, and every game I had tried on it until now was fairly terrible. This purchase was Nintendo's last chance to impress me before I sold it on. I was Impressed. I fall into the demographic that the TV adverts for this game are aimed at; I played the old games, loved them, and still have far too much time on my hands. There are many reasons why I have come to love this game, and they are detailed below. Gameplay Improvements A lot has changed since the Gameboy Colour originals of Pokemon Gold ... more

    5 Stars Great Successor To An Engaging Series 17/10/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages feels time, great for children, great value for money, endless

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    Pokemon Soul Silver, at last a Pokemon game with more than one playable region on the Nintendo DS. Pokemon Soul Silver is a game in the pokemon series, one of the best games for children if about six up. Pokemon is a world where you can catch and befriend creatures called 'pokemon', there are many different ones each with names and they can even make eggs which hatch into the first generation of the pokemon. Yes there can be more than one generation of a pokemon such as the most well known pokemon, 'pikachu', who is second in a line of three generations or 'evolutions' as it is in the game ... more

    5 Stars A Poké-walk down memory lane! 19/03/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages As always, the dialogue. Cell-animation graphics. General adventure

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Same fight scene-style (when o when will the pokemon actually perform the move?!?)

    As soon as I heard they were bringing out a revamped version of Pokemon Silver for the DS, I first asked the question "Why haven't they re-done the older one's first" but then I remembered once I started playing this how much better the storyline was to the previous games. First of all, you get a real classy opening sequence which then shows Lugia in a form which can only be described as like seeing the pokemon on Pokemon Stadium (Yes my friend. THATS how good the graphics are!). Then you get the usual bit which I like to call Knowing me, knowing Oak where you are introduced to (what Professor ... more

    5 Stars Keeps you VERY Busy 16/05/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Massive Game World that you Won't Want to Leave

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Perhaps there's too much to do. I can't complete it can you?

    Pokemon Soul Silver makes you remember why you love pokemon and is an excellent start for new players. This is no generic rehash, this is a whole new game with over double the content of the original. This game is absolutely huge! I can probably never hope to finish it but I'll die trying. The main campaign is lengthy due to the inclusion of two regions and 16 gym badges to earn. There are also many side quests throughout the game and nintendo is releasing new ones via wifi connection all through the year. There are 493 pokemon available in this game (not all obtainable however). If you do ... more

    4 Stars An Amazing Nostalgic Experience!!! 06/02/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good Remake, Good music, Excellent Features.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Pokewalker is kind of pointless

    I thought that this game was nostalgic, as I had played Pokemon Silver before. The storyline was of course the same however they had added a few extra features which made this game quite remarkable, and therefore definitely one of the best Pokemon games so far. For example one of the new features are that Pokemon follow you around, now I found this quite amazing and it reminded me of Pokemon Yellow, when Pikachu followed you. I recommend this game to anyone who has played Pokemon games before, however if you haven't played the games based on the Kanto region (so the generation one games) I ... more

    5 Stars Pokémon SoulSilver: An awesome SIlver ReMake! Review with images 23/10/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Longevity, Graphics, 3D features, Music, Maps

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive, Too many Battles (in my opinion), Same music used for caves

    When SoulSilver came out in Japan, I gave it a try, and even in Japanese I found it so occupying. I kept saying to myself 'I've gotta stop now, otherwise it'll be boring when I play it in English'. But the problem is, I couldn't stop! I completed it in a week, and thought it was a great game. They made new trainers, new sprites and the gym leaders and elite four were well thought out too! In my opinion, I thought that the Elite Four re-matches were great by using some Sinnoh Pokémon and some 4th generation moves too. When the game came out in English, I had even more fun playing after I ... more

    5 Stars Yep, pokemon is still going strong! 08/05/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages You can trade pokemon from diamond, pearl and platinum

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The game still looks very 2D

    Pikachu, I choose you Let me see, how long has it been? Ten, eleven, twelve years? Believe it or not it's actually been thirteen years, in 1997 pokemon first made it's appearance in the UK and our generation was hooked! At first it was gotta catch'em all with red and blue which at the time was 150 (151 including mew) but as the years went by we got yellow, gold, silver and crystal, ruby and sapphire, diamond and pearl and goodness knows what else and the number of pokemon you had to catch got higher and higher. So here we are with the re-make of gold and silver; heart gold and soul silver. It ... more

    5 Stars Should i catch em all again 02/06/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages poke walker, graphics, new pokemon, badges

    Disadvantages Disadvantages same old classic pokemon music

    I think that soul silver is the best pokemon game so far because you can achieve more badges and there is loads of legendary pokemon which i like hunting down and catching. It is a simple but very good game and is one of my favourites. I like the new pokemon they have added and it reminds me of when i was really young and had pokemon silver playing on my gameboy advance. The poke walker feature is an amazing idea and i love it because i was going to play golf for the day and just put it in my pocket and leveled my pidgey up 23 levels. It is so easy but at the same time hard because of the ... more

    5 Stars Pokemon - Now and Forever 10/06/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Immersive, massive, You'll keep coming back long after the endgame

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slow to build momentum, the grind of Leveling your party

    If you ever played any Pokemon game, you've played this too, and by that I dont mean you've played the orginal silver version. All the pokemon games that have been released on any of the Gameboy systems have been essentially the same game [with the exceptions being Pokemon snap, Pokemon Mystery dungeon and Pokemon pinball; all fantastic games in their own right.] pick a starter Pokemon; choose from fire, water or grass. Your rival for this incarnation will pick your weakness. ALWAYS. But somehow, every new version captures us, much like we capture the Pokemon and make them our own. It could be ... more
