All you do is take pictures of Pokemon...pretty lame

You drive around in a jeep or whatever and take pictures of Pokemon. This gets old really fast. The only good thing is that you can win some cool stuff if you take a better picture than anyone else in the world...which is, suffice it to say, highly unlikely.

Thecnicaly I haven't played the game. However, my aunt has four children who did. They are extreem critics and hard to keep quiet. They really enjoyed this game. While the older one thought it should be a bit more of a challenge, all the kids loved it. Anything that keeps my aunt's kids guiet must be worth five stars.

This toy is fun . It is not educational, but it is durable.

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.

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.

not as cool as other pokemon games

This game may be appealing to the eye and ear. The name Pokemon will sell the game by itself. But after you get the game, you play it for a couple of hours and you're done. There is not much to do in it. The graphics are pretty darn cool but the fun factor is just way too low.

This is a great game!

This game is great! You take the part of Todd the pokémon photographer who has been hired by professor oak to help him get photos for his report on pokémon island. The game is easy to complete and takes less than a day to finnish but your quest ought to be to get good pictures and try to beat all your old high scores for each pokémon picture. Some people have been complaining and giving this game low ratings but they don't put their heart into the game and try to get the best pictures they can. The coolest thing is you can make your own stickers from the pictures you took.

This is one of the most innovative games of all time

This game is great. I don't mean to sound like a parent, but Pokemon Snap is a good, fun game that doesn't promote violence, like Turok and stuff like that. Instead of blowing up tanks or whatever, you take pictures of different Pokemon. It is a lot of fun to start a new PKMN (probably short for POKEMON) Report and have every picture you take be "NEW!", but it gets old after a while. Beat this game once, leave it for a week or so, come back to it and voila! Fun Factor restored. Overall, an exellent game.

Fun for everyone!

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!
