Video Game Reviews of Pokemon - Diamond Version
Customer Review: Fun Twist on an Old Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
The Pokemon games have always been fun to me, but this version takes the cake. Brand new Pokemon, new attacks, better battles, Pokemon Diamond has it all. It doesn't have that "aw, not another one" feel. I would recommend it to everyone who has a DS. You really should try this game.Customer Review: Addictive Fun
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this for my 9 year old son. Also bought the Pearl edition for my 7 year old daughter. They share a Nintendo DS and are constantly fighting to use it. Each session has to be time-limited, and they act like they're going through withdrawls when they are not playing. But they have to "earn" playing time through chores and good behavior, which balances out all that fun.
They enjoy talking strategy and comparing the Pokemon they've caught or battled. They've also made it clear that they can trade their Pokemon with each other if they BOTH have a DS. Hmmm...
Anyway, if you don't mind your kids being addicted to a good, clean, non-violent video game (like we were), this appears to be the ultimate for now.
Customer Review: Pokemon-You WILL catch them all again!
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, I've been playing Pokemon video games since their inception of Red/Blue/Yellow (back in the day), and this game is really no different for the overall concept. Catch Pokemon, raise them, form your team, catch more Pokemon, etc. Rinse, repeat. That is the worst thing about this game, is that it's virtually the SAME as it was during Pokemon Blue's debut. However, this would be my only complaint. The game is graphically superior to all other hand held Pokemon's to date. I find myself once again hooked to this deviously-titled game, and can't seem to put it down to play my other neglected DS games. My breakdown of this title is below:
Pros:
Pokemon!
Graphically beautiful
Sound quality is excellent
VERY addictive gameplay
New Pokemon to catch and train
New mini games to keep you occupied for days
Wireless functionality to battle your friends (and enemies)
Cons:
Same old, same old Pokemon you remember from it's earlier incarnations
I gave this game high marks (5 stars), as it might be the same old game in different clothing, but why change a good thing? If you like Pokemon, you'll definetely want to get either Diamond or Pearl for your DS. Well worth the wait, and definetely will strain your DS's battery.
Customer Review: A Hit!!!

I purchased this game for my daughter (Xmas) and she absolutely loved it. She asked for both the Diamond and Pearl, but I think she enjoys the Diamond better. She is 10 and loves Nintendo DS Lite and the WII.Customer Review: Needs help and advice from an experienced player...

Bought this for my granddaughter's 10th birthday at her request. She is a novice game-player and has had to ask for help from cousins/friends. But once she gets the hang of it, she will love it. Pokemon Diamond Version DS
