    The lesson here is that just because the license is for kids, the game doesn't have to be. There's a reason this sort of gameplay has been around for over 25 years: it works, whether you're a green squirrel or an @. And Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is the game to prove it.

    You won't find a better handheld RPG so fitting for bite-size moments of play, and those cute 'n' marketable pocket monsters are only the icing on the cake.

    Anyone with an established affection for roguelikes (apparently there are a lot of you) and even the slightest liking of Pokémon will really enjoy this. And ultimately, I did too - played one mission at a time, Mystery Dungeon's old-fashionedness in the context of the adorable setting is charming, and you can't fault it for a lack of longevity.

    Being a hardcore Pokemaniac, it really hurts to see yet another Pokemon game succumb to mediocrity.

    It's a highly addicting game. You are the pokemon and you form a rescue team to save pokemon around the world from natural disasters. Even with simplistic graphics, the game allows some customization and freedom like the main series pokemon games.… Expand

    Por primera vez se cumple un sueño que todos los pokéfanáticos tuvimos desde siempre: personificar y controlar directamente a un pkmn. El juego de hecho tiene un trasfondo narrativo increíble (para la saga), lleno de emotividad a cada paso.
    Los mundos y los pokémon en si poseen gráficos muy agradables, la BSO pega muy bien con el juego y la jugabilidad es excelente.    … Expand

    Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team is an awfully strange, but mildly effective game for Pokemaniacs and puzzle solvers. Pros: A variety of Pokemon to add to your team and dungeons to explore. Cons: Dull visuals; odd controls; the RPG elements aren't exactly necessary, regardless of the Pokemon series being built on that.… Expand
