Yeah, I'm a serious pokemon fan, yeah I'm 18. Even though I beat the whole game in a little over an hour it was fun the whole time. I think thats how I did it so fast, you are just like... pulled in. I beat it a few times when I was younger then decided to buy it again, so thats the only reason I blew through it.. but it's so fun trying to find out the secret places and pokemon and getting new items to use. The coolest thing I think is seeing the pokemon run around all in 3-d and realistic like, and trying to find ways to take new pictures is definitely fun. I think it's even fun to watch someone else play.
Are you a pokemon fan? Buy. this. game.
Why?

Pokemon Snap is just another game with a pokemon title to get kids to buy it. With it's short gameplay and thin plot made me fell that when I finshed the game, one hour later, that I wasted I hour of my life. I can't say it isn't a good game because I don't like Pokemon and there are good graphics, but if your loking for a game for fun and not for pokemon stay away from this game.

I like this game, but it's got no challenge and absolutly NO story like the gameboy ones. There's no surprise ending, no pop up mini games and no rivals(thats the biggest problem). Yeah this is ok for 8 years olds, but the secret paths can get EXTREMELY frustrating to get, espesially the last one. If they added a rival and a mini game or two, this game would be much more fun!
A decent game

The first pokemon title for the N64 was not the best thing to hit the market. The game was designed poorly. They could have made it better but they just threw it in stores as soon as they could. Mostly for little kids, older children wouldn't like it. A safe game with no guns or blood, just pokemon. By taking pictures of pokemon and earning new gifts like food and a flute to get new poses and reactions for better photos. The game is very easy to beat. Get it for little kids,5-8 years old. Older children would be bored and put it away once they beat it. Not the best game.
Decent game, but great for kids

"Pokemon Snap" is a pretty cool game, but it's a lot better for young kids than it is teens or adults in my opinion. You go through levels trying to get the best pictures you can of all the Pokemon before you reach the end of the level. You are then given a grade based on certain characteristics and you have to choose which pictures to keep.
I thought "Pokemon Snap" was fun when I first played it, but after awhile it started to get old to me. But I noticed that my little brother and little sister couldn't get enough of it. If you have kids that like Pokemon a lot, I know "Pokemon Snap" will be one of their favorite games. In that case, I would recommend it.
Too short for its own good

Even being an anti-Pokemon person, when my mom got me Pokemon Snap for Christmas last year, I had already played the game and knew what to expect. The game has dazzling graphics, and no slowdown. The grading system is fair in the sense that it gives the right amount of points, but if you don't get enough points under one section, you don't get any for the rest of the picture, making it kind of annoying for hard to get creatures like Staryu. The thing is, it's not very long. Only 63 Pokemon are in this game and once you beat it, it gets exetremely boring. In fact, the whole Pokemon deal is overrated. I can't stand it anymore and I wish it would all just end. Good for a Saturday night rental, but nothing more.
Perfect for the younger set!

We bought this game for our daugter for Christmas - it was the only thing she wanted! It is, suprisingly, a lot of fun. My husband says I'm addicted and he may be right! There is no violence or any objectional matter. Our six-year old can play it well but still be challenged. The Pokemon are very cute and animated. You do have to pay attention to be able to find them all, we have been playing it A LOT for the last week and still have 6 more to find. Overall - recommend for families with small children.
better than average pokemon

This game is fun,but is a little too easy.I'm not a big pokemon fan but it seemed like the best game in the store.I also don't regret buying it either.It's a great game with great graphics and always is worthwhile to play.It's also fun to try to get a great score.
Great game, but don't purchase!

I love this game. It's really fun. It's completely different every round, capturing better pokemon pictures, and experimenting with pokeflutes, pokefood and pester balls and seeing the reaction to different pokemon. But i'll say it again: Not worth purchasing. I rented it and the [price] was worth it. The [Price] is not worth this game that gets old within a week. You already know all the secrets, you have a gazillion pictures of pokemon, you may of even printed them on stickers, i mean your through. Its a real fun game and I love it but it's not worth more than [price]to keep.
Simple Minded and Boring

I cant believe this game got better reviews then "HEY YOU PIKACHU".
You ride around on a trolly through the same old boards (i think 6-7 total) taking pictures of the characters. Professor Oak either excepts them or doesnt depending on the "quality" of the picture (size, pose, and technique). Eventually, you get a couple of items that help you take better pictures. Big Deal!
The only reason i gave this two stars instead of one is because my son can play it, take as many pictures as he wants, and i dont have to "pay" to "develop" them.
This is the most simple minded boring game i have ever bought for the N64.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ (Woops i'm falling asleep writing this review).
