1UP gives 4.5 to Pokémon Battle Revolution

Addictive videogames are like cocaine! It's the oldest gaming joke this side of "If it's 'Final' Fantasy, how come they're up to 13?" But every cliché carries a kernel of truth, and the Pokémon series really is like a drug. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are pure-grade uncut Brazilian coke peddled in America's schoolyards, turning our nation's children into glassy-eyed monster-battlers.

And spin-offs like Pokémon Battle Revolution? They're the cheap, diluted version of cocaine, the kind that some bastard has cut with flour, or Drano, or rat poison, or god knows what else. Yeah, it'll soothe your addiction-frayed nerves if you're jonesing for a Pokémon fix, but it's gonna kill you, man.

Are there any good games on the wii? It shouldn't be selling as well as it does. All nintendo have literally done, is grab a gamecube, give it a fancy controller, and shove out loads of minigames, crap first party gamecube ports and even worse third party games. Then make it really cheap and people are all over it...people will one day realise how shallow the wii is and how fast it will die. So little effort was put into the wii, it can barely be compared to the ps3 and 360

All these games are created for the japs, i mean on release of the DS game suddenly every kid claimed to be sick from school so they could buy that game.

And why do you say nintendo makes mini games? from what i have seen most of them are third party, people who ride allong on the money train.
it will change though, developers will realize that mini games aint gonna cut it no more.

Btw you buy this game if you own the DS game otherwise its bit pointless.

Dude shut up. I thought your kind was dead a long time ago

[leon76]

ì'm tottally with you, man

[PS360WII]

leon76 are you going to post anything good? I mean for anything PS3, 360, Wii, DS, PSP or is this account just for bad/useless posting?

[MaximusPrime]

i totally agreed with shadowflare.

Even nintendo admitted that Wii hardware is the same as Gamecube.
I never personnally like Nintendo games. too cheesy, too childish.

[TriggerHappy]

Hopefully, they will have some new titles at this years E3.

[leon76]

new titles like this one???...no thanks..

[PS360WII]

They gave it a low score because you basically need to be a pokemon gamer to enjoy it.
I'm sorry but if you were going to buy Pokemon Battle you are a pokemon gamer. They are rating it superficially expecting non-pokemon players to want to get this game I'm sorry but no one other than someone who owns a pokemon game will buy this one and there for if they rated it towards the people who would buy this game they would of given it a much higher score.
Is it a good game? I don't know but anyone who's play Pokemon for the DS is gonna love it.

After the good and best selling Pokemon on DS, I thought this one would follow but now I see my error.

[djt23]

you have to have ds ver of pokemon to love it. you suppose to link up your ds to the wii and battle online that it.
in ds ver you dont have random battle but in this ver you do that why people love it.
if you read ign review they tell you about the game
it not this game is only extended the online gameplay that all
even nintendo tell you that before they release it

[leon76]

another great game for the nintendo consoles...4.5/10

[PS360WII]

what's useless about it? I was talking about the said article and posting a comment I thought would benefit the actual discussion of a score given to a game that by the by we were talking about.
The only thing that comes from your comments are I hate this I hate that you suck and haha your face. <--- that stuff is useless.

[ChickeyCantor]

no leon, he was making a point, XD i laughed @ you because your comment is funny.

[AcidRhain]

:-/ someone's picking a fight for no reason.

[Rhezin]

the Wii WILL have upcoming titles. I'm a 360 owners, and there are alotta kickass games coming out for it, but I see alotta kickass games comin out for Wii too. I myself love Resident Evil, and I hope Manhunt 2 gets out sometime, then it'll show people that the Wii isn't just a toy, its a serious piece of hardware with some serious freakin games.

Jeremy Parish wrote this review? I thought no one took him seriously anymore when he gave Ultimate Ghosts'n'Goblins a 4.5 because "the game was too complex"? (" " sarcasm)

Anywho the review isn't fair at all. Yes you'd more than likely have to be a Pokemon fan to enjoy the game, but the way Parish went about pointing out the negatives was just wrong.
