Yes, I am reviewing a pokemon game. Now stop laughing your asses off and listen.
I'll deliver my thesis unsugared and blunt: RS (Ruby/Sapphire) was completely overhyped. Dazzling new graphics, loads of new features, and a longer quest CANNOT mask the lack of plot smoothness and absence of the magic that made the first six games such a smash in the two new installments of the immortalized Pokemon series.
I can't complain about the graphics. It seems like as a general rule, sequels must have far better graphics than their predecessors. Instead of blocky, sparsely colored images, the visuals in RS are smooth and well-drawn. The battle animations are different but classier, with more variation from skill to skill.
The music isn't as good as the graphics. I mean, it's still decent, but very repetitive. Also, it gets ANNOYING after a while and constantly seems to deliver the message, "Hey this is liek t3h imatUr g@m liek L0L!!!!!!1111one." Let's hope Game Freak doesn't recycle this music for any more games that are coming our way.
And the PLOT! Yikes. It is devoid of any trace of the fluid storylines of Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Gold, Crystal...and anything else I might have forgot. No, that's all of them. And you have to deliver goods to this guy in a CAVE? Now that is psycho. What were they on, crack?
That sums up my not-very-constructive first review. Hope you had fun listening to me
