Pokemon Platinum

from www.amazon.com
we got this game for our grand son and he love playing it.
from www.amazon.com
the game itself is certainly enjoyable; you can easily get about 60-80 hours of gameplay, assuming you don't just rush to get it finished.

Final Fantasy IV

$37.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
in 2006, the game was re-released for the game boy advance, under the name, "final fantasy iv advance".
from www.amazon.com
the game has gone completely 3d with new voice-overs, but with the original gameplay intact.
from www.amazon.com
i would have liked to see it possible to enter commands using the touch screen instead of the directional pad, but the controls work pretty well the way they are.
from www.amazon.com
that was...*cough*evilwall*cough*...final fantasy iv was then re-released on the final fantasy chronicles game set along with chrono trigger, replete with new cgi cutscenes to further the gameplay.
from www.amazon.com
there were two kinds of people i showed this to back in the day: people who couldn't even comprehend a game where instead of controlling a character directly you issued them orders and watched them

Suikoden: Tierkreis

$33.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the game makes me scared to talk to people at times because they want to tell you their life story, and how when they were a kid an old man touched them on a bus.
from www.amazon.com
seems as tho this game is geared toward the younger crowd as some things have been dumbed down.
from www.amazon.com
game-play: the main character is named by you, along with your soon to be castle in the far future, the game is very straight-forward-rpg style, but very simple and is barely ever difficult (save a
from www.amazon.com
i'm giving it four stars for story and character building and the easy battle button which makes the weak enemy fighting more tolerable.
from www.amazon.com
combatwise, tierkreis is really lacking on this department but forgivable and you'll get used to that horrific vos if you give it time to let the overall great gameplay take over.

Pokemon Ranger

from www.amazon.com
in the beginning this game was easy but as the game played on it became more challenging.
from www.amazon.com
my son got this game for christmas and he loved it.
from www.amazon.com
my son loves this game and i was very pleased with the prompt delivery of my order.
from www.amazon.com
it is simple enough for most 7 years olds to play, but has enough hidden goodies to keep even veteran players like me satisfied.
from www.amazon.com
it is very similar in terms of graphics and gameplay, yet offers significant improvements.

Final Fantasy Iii

$32.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this game is fun and mildly challenging (for a 32yr old) im sure if i was 20yrs younger i would have beaten it by now.
from www.amazon.com
the only thing i don't like about the game is when you want to buy something for your charactor, it can cost a lot, and it isn't always easy to get money.
from www.amazon.com
today we sit and think, "how generic." back then, though, it was as popular of an idea as playing a rhythm-based game with a guitar controller.
from www.amazon.com
however the game does allow you to challenge yourself with the other job classes, which in turn can make the game very easy or very difficult.
from www.amazon.com
starting with the playstation one and later the game boy advance, squaresoft has started churning out reworkings of the final fantasy series, the way they were meant to be experienced.

from www.amazon.com
although there is some very rare graphical pop-up, for the most part the game runs smoothly.
from www.amazon.com
its pretty simple, and a bit too easy, but i won't hold that against it.
from www.amazon.com
along the years, many games have tried to mimic the simple game play of the pokemon series.
from www.amazon.com
as one other reviewer so aptly stated, "this game is easy to pick up and hard to put down".
from www.amazon.com
it has a pokemon-esque type of gameplay where you try to catch em all and battle other monsters.
