My little four year old niece owns this game. Every time she comes over, the adults take it over! I caught myself playing once for over four hours. To begin with Pokemon are incredibly cute, and it is nice that this game does not focus on the trained Pokemon doing battle with each other but rather on the wild Pokemon playing in their "natural" habitats. The whole concept of taking pictures of Pokemon and then having these pictures scored by "Dr. Oak" is not only great for young children but gratifying for adults as well. And since you can increase the difficulty, the game really increases your hand-eye coordination without the use of violence (a major plus). And you can't forget the bonus of turning your favorite snap shots into stickers at the video store. You can bet "Pokemon Snap" is on MY Christmas list!

the best!

Pokemon snap is sooo fun!It sounds wierd that taking pictures of pokemon could be fun, but it relly is. Parents won't have anything against it, because there's no violence. It's totally cool to see all the pokemon in 3-D and playing around. This is one of the best games for n64. It may sound easy, but sometimes it's hard to get a good shot of a certain pokemon. What's more, you can choose your 4 best shots, take the cartridge to blockbuster, and have them printed out. I totally recomend this game. It's 'da bomb! (The pokemon our so cute!) BUY IT! BUY IT! BUY IT! peace. chow. (Tip: Go through the same corse lots of times. when you get pester balls, throw them everywhere! If a pokemon won't turn around, keep throwing those pester balls at it. Good luck!)

Personally Pokemon Snap was the first game I ever got for N64 and I haven't found a game I like more. The game is cool and it starts out as you playing the role of "Todd" a photographer and Professor "Oak" tells you he found Pokemon Island and he wants you to get pictures of all the pokemon there on a 60 exposure film camera.

Now you start out on the beach level where you see a handful of different pokemon but if you want to get really good shots of some of the pokemon there you'll have to bring in a lot of points so you can get the pokemon food. There are Buttefree, Pidgey, Laparas (ocassonaly) and lots of other cool pokemon.

After you best the beach you have six more levels to beat. It's lots of fun and challangeing to get the best shot you possibaly can get!

Items: Pokemon Food- You use this to entice pokemon to follow you and to make them do neat tricks for the food. You can also convince pokemon to come from their hiding places. Pester Balls- Wow this repelent sure works. When you hit a pokemon with it they get crazy and scared but thats OK. You can force pokemon out of hiding places and knock them down off rocks and stuff. Pokemon Flute- Hmmmm do you want to wake that giant sleeping Snorlax? You do well this el' do the trick. The flute wakes pokemon and canm make them do things like dance and attack it's really cool, but you'll have to bring in a lot of points before you get it!

In closing this game is really cool and any pokemon fan should try it. This game is a bit easy but all more the fun! Rent or buy it I totally recomend it!

Fun for young kids, little challenge for video veterans

This game is a good choice for younger kids (5 to 9) for several reasons: there are lots of cute and cool pokemon to see, and you can replay the levels and improve your score. Parents will like that it's essentially non-violent (although you can throw pester balls to irritate the pokemon) and there is an element of coordination needed to take good pictures. There are some game "secrets" that make it slightly more challenging, but it is not going to satisfy older, more experienced players (10 and up) for long.

Finally! Pokemon fans can see their idols in 3-d! Pokemon Snap features a beautiful 3-d environment crawling with pokemon. You're Todd, a pokemon photographer who is sent by Professor Oak to collect pokemon pictures. Along the way, the Professor will give you items such as apples to lure pokemon to where you want it to go. As soon as you've taken your pictures, you can print them out at Blockbuster Video! I encourage you to get it if you are a pokemon fan!

a deffinite 5 star for the younger crowd.

finally, a game that doesn't require "blood shed" to win. The pokemon are 3-D, adorable and through the efforts of nintendo, have character and personality. The game was challenging for my six year old and he didn't walk away wanting to karate chop everything in sight. :) which is a plus. The graphics are beautiful and the music light spirited.

not bad

i bought this game a while ago and was addicted at the beginning. there are numerous challenges, some of the pokemon are very hard to get good shots for. graphics are great, worlds are interesting, and pokemon look very realistic. lots of little extras to gain along the way (pokemon food, poke flute).

the only thing wrong with this game is it's easy. i got through all the courses, challenge scores, and filled up my report in a few days. if you love pokemon, this would be awesome. but, if you're looking for a real challenge, look somewhere else.

This game is great. It doesn't matter if you've ever seen a Pokemon or know what one is. It's fun and has incredible replay value. With over 60 Pokemon to catch, the game is fun and challenging. You might wonder what's so hard about taking pictures. Well, the game is not just about pictures, you must learn to use the tools you recieve to uncover new Pokemon and new levels. When you get to explore places lik a beach, volcano, river, and cave, the variety is wonderful. You'll regret only having seven levels to play.

Pokemon for gameboy is alright, but Pokemon Snap is awesome! The graphics are great, but it is kind of easy and it can get boring. Also there is only about 60 pokemon you can take pictures of. I recomond taking pictures in the valley, river, cave, and the tunnel because there are cool Pokemon there. The levels are gerat too. The Pokemon signs are clever. This game (for anyone) is easy to . Good Luck!

Great Non-Violent Game for Kids and Pokemon Fans

Move by track in Zero-One Vehicle and take pictures of Pokemon in different habitats. Use your photographic skills, throw fruit or pester ball, and play flute to make different Pokemon appear, come closer or even evolve. Prof. Oak critiques your work for points. Some simple game-play reasoning required. Great for younger kids and totally non-violent... except for the apple throwing part. My six-year old daughter loves it.
