Fun and unique but over way too quickly

When a phenomenon as big as Pokemon was, you'll always find the companies trying to cash in as quick as they can and get the most money. So many Pokemon-related stuff coming out: cereal, plush toys, band-aids, and games of course. Here we have a different approach to the Catch-em-All tagline: you take their picture. It's fun, neat and short.

Story: You don't play Pokemon games for their story but essentially Pokemon professor and researcher Oak wants pictures taken of the Pokemon so you hop in his vehicle and travel different areas to do it. Pretty simple, no?

Graphics: This is in the N64 days so it's not incredibly detailed but it does its job well although you might find like the Simpsons, Pokemon look odd in 3D.

Sound/Music: Unlike the Gameboy games, the characters actually say their name for once which is a good plus. Music was ok but nothing hummable, like most Pokemon music.

Gameplay: The pictures you take are ranked in basic areas: how close they are to camera and not extreme close-up or faraway either; whether they're in the middle of the frame, if they're doing a special pose and if there's more of them in frame. To get the poses you have 3 basic moves: using your Poke-flute which could make them dance or maybe fall asleep, bait to get them closer to camera or a ball which basically gets them mad. Some also can net you a great photo such as one level, if you knock Pikachu off a balloon and you do something else you can get Pikachu to ride Articuno for extra bonus.

One complaint is the fact that you'll often re-try levels cause your machine is just too damn fast. Trying to take a picture of a creature when you need so much prep time isn't the best thing. You'd have to have incredibly good aim for many things too. Another complaint is that there's only around 60-65 Pokemon....out of 151?(This is pre Gold-Silver games). Some of my favorites from the games are not even in here like I don't think I saw one Eevee or its evolutions in the game.

Having an interest in photography I can appreciate a game like this but photography in a lot of cases is about patience. Waiting for that perfect moment before you click and riding that machine just quite frankly sucks but if you're into Pokemon, try it out(if you can find it still).

This game is completely addictive!

My boyfriend and I played this game and it was so much fun we were fighting over the controller. The premise seemed kind of dull but once you start snapping pictures you just can't stop. I highly recommend this game.

Very fun game

Pokemon Snap is great for younger kids and older kids. It's easy to learn and fun! It may even inspier children to be photographers when they grow up. My daughter got the game for Christmas and she loved it which means it is as good for boys as it is for girls. Now I just have to ask. . . . Who wouldn't love this game?

I think Pokemon Snap is very fun.It's very easy too.When I first got the game it only took me two and a half days to start and finish it!The only problem with it is that it's too short and you can't take pictures of all 151 Pokemon.Well,I hope you enjoy reading this editorial.

Pokemon snap is a game intended mostly for younger kids. The object of the game is to take pictures of the pokemon you see. You acumulate points depending on how good your'e picture is.

There are about 10 levels in the game each with different challenges. sometimes you have to go back a level to get new pokemon that you can only see with flutes or when you throw an apple.

If you have not played this game you might think it sounds easy but it actually is not. Sometimes you need to lure a pokemon to get a picute of it. with others you have to use a poke flute, you have to be quick or else you will miss the desired pokemon and yo'l have to try again. little things like that add to the replay value of the game.

Over all this is a unique game with beutiful graphics. no multiplayer means it won't be every body's favorite. but if you are a diehard pokemon fan pick this one up.

This game is da-bomb

This game is very very fun. The only down side is it's so easy to beat. If you are going to get this game I recomend you get it at a low price (Like $...).

I like it.

It is a really good game and I'd recommend for many people, but after you've gotten all the pokemon, there's nothing to do anymore!

You got the game. You got the camera, you got the film. Now, to complete this game you have to snap at least 63 pokemon for your report. Professor Oak must see it first before putting it in your report. If you do not like Oak's results, you can keep your pictures in your photo album! Away from Professor Oak.
1.Life Span: Average of 3 to 6 months before getting bored
2.Durability: Can last a lifetime
3.Endurance: Basically only one player mode available.
Overall- This is a 4 star game cuz no multi player and only 63 pokemon. I really like my Mew picture!

This game is pretty cool

Pokemon Snap is a cool game because you take pictures of pokemon
and try to catch them in cool poses. Throughout the game you get
different items that help you get cool pictures. There are places where you have to think about how to unlock something to beat a level. Some of it's a bit of a challenge ,but its fun! This game is cool ,but it stinks how there is only one game that can be saved.
