    A handful of niggles, but not enough to stop this from being more accessible and enjoyable than its predecessor.

    Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia is an entertaining spin-off of the original franchise and a sequel of the first Pokemon Ranger, with a similar look and feel in graphics and playability. The capture technique has improved being more easy to play with better results. This sequel is a good and fresh option for the pokemon fans.

    Shadows of Almia hits the standard of the series without adding anything new. [Feb 2009, p.79]

    Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia is the Pokémon series at its most professional and polished, but non-fans will find it as linear and repetitive as ever.

    pokemon ranger shadows of almia has an easy to follow sometimes predictable story. the gameplay can sometimes be hard but once you get good its far to easy the only dull and slow times of the game are the ranger school and going on pitrol in wich you try to help the citienzens with there problems. with some strong pokemon this game is entertaining..... untill you win the game… Expand

    I was interested until I turned the game on and realized that the graphics and music were exactly the same, the capturing technique embarrassingly easy, the dialogue stupid, repetitive, boring, repetitive, and goes on for hours telling me things that I already know.
    I decided quickly that this was not the game for me so I gave it to my little sister who is 8 years old. She was new to the whole thing and found the game to be much too difficult for her.

    Pokemon is great, the first pokemon ranger was great, this is not.    … Expand
