Pokemon Link: Reviews

Game Score: 8/10
Pokemon Link is a new take on the familiar tile-sliding puzzle design, and it's a really good one. It's not the usual fare, and its heavy focus on combos may be a bit misleading that there's not a whole lot of challenge. It's actually quite tough, and in some cases, addictive to try and grab the high score quotas and random, rare Pokemon critters that wander onto the playfield. It's not a classic in the same way that Tetris and Puyo Pop have become in the genre, but it's still a lot of fun and definitely a unique diversion for DS owners.
Presentation:
Nice style that incorporates Pokemon without resorting to their adorableness. Lots of good use of Nintendo DS functionality, too, and wireless connectivity.
Graphics:
Cut scenes have a stylized Flash look to them, and it's kind of neat to see how each of the bazillion Pokemon critters have been sandwiched into spheres.
Sound:
Nothing memorable in the way of music...the audio is there, but it takes a backseat to the game play.
Game play:
Fun, fast-paced touch-screen puzzle game that puts a huge emphasis on combos for its energetic game play. It's both familiar and unique.
Lasting Appeal:
The multi player can get seriously intense, and thanks to the developers incorporating single cartridge download play, it's easy to hop right into it.
OVERALL:
I rate it 8.0.
