Pokemon FireRed

$80.00 Est. at Amazon

from Kimberly from Wisc, www.circuitcity.com
it is essentially the same as the first generation games, except improved with new features and better graphics.
from pokemon1212, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: above adverage, it's storyline and all the pokemon's new features were great but it get's just to repetive fast for me and not much extra after you beat it.
from www.amazon.com
by travelr's tales.wich means the artistic value is kinda missing, the controls feel a little weird at first, also the camera seems akward...so i was not really enjoying this version of crash.
from www.amazon.com
i also like the fact that when i turn the game on it rehashes the last few things i did before stopping gameplay last time.
from www.amazon.com
this time you can choose either a boy or girl (my favorite feature).

from www.amazon.com
gameplay: this is where the game shines, as nothing has been subtracted from the original.
from www.amazon.com
sure, maybe it doesn't look as good as the games of modern era, but the intense storyline and engaging gameplay more than make up for the lack of sophisticated graphical presentations.
from www.amazon.com
in this game you control cecil and his band of warriors as they attempt to thwart a powerful dark wizard and a corrupt kingdom from unleashing ultimate destruction upon their world.
from www.amazon.com
there are some nice bonuses in this version -- the script has been revised, two new dungeons have been added, there is a party swap feature later in the game, and there are some new boss battles.

from reviews.cnet.com
instead of focusing on a strong central character, final fantasy vi features a large ensemble cast.
