It's enjoyable through and through, and the introspective nature of the storyline will leave you thinking about what effect a more positive attitude could have on your own life. It's easy for me to recommend this game to any Pokéfan, regardless of whether they've played prior Mystery Dungeon entries.
If you are looking to play this game without having to go through the story, the Magnagate feature is a great way of hopping into a dungeon just for fun. Be sure to have good lighting, though, otherwise getting the feature to work can be a little hit or miss.

The game's great, it's useless to say anything else. In addition, it's one of the few games which begins after you finish it and you're never bored at all. Great, great great. Very good moves, buildings, deep story, Good End and of course, perfect visuals. By far the best mystery dungeon game ever played!

I have fallen out of love with the Pokémon series in recent years but then I downloaded the demo of this game from the eShop. The story was great, and for me the game play was fantastic with much improvement from the GBA Pokémon Red Rescue Team. The demo was so good I bought the game the day after completing the demo. I do not want to give too much away but I would definitely recommend anyone to at least try the demo from the eShop as I would not want someone to buy the game if they do not like the game play. I have 67 hrs played on this game with the story complete but with much left to do. If you like this type of game play I could not recommend this game enough, however if you do not like the game play, no matter how good the story is you will not like the game and then you should not get it. In my opinion this is a great game that did not get great reviews but has a great story that has made me once again a fan of the Pokémon series.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is a strange series and this chapter is no exception. That you love it or hate it, this is a game made of contradiction. It associates very good graphics with 8-year old gameplay, with no innovation nor changes, not even with the potential of the little Nintendo game console. It appears to be a decent game by the way, something that one who love the series could find very entertaining for a few hours, for everyone else, better wait for Pokemon X/Y.
Unless you must play every Pokemon title you’re probably better off simply waiting for the release of X and Y later in the year.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity is a limited and basic game that does not take advantage of the powerful mark on which it is based.
The real mystery here is why Nintendo continues to allow such a minimum effort cash grab to dilute the Pokémon name, in yet another bland and repetitive dungeon crawler.
Okay, I've completed the game. And let me just say, the story is the best out of the entire series. Sure, the final battle trolls you at first (You can't do anything). But after that, it just feels so satisfying to literally punch it in the face. In the FACE! Anyway, the music. Dare I say, this game has one of the best soundtracks in video game history. Ragged Mountain was phenomenal for the FIRST DUNGEON, End of the Road Alternate Arrangement 1 was a great remix of the original, Great Spire was epic and tells you that you're near the end, and that... that ENDING!! I'm not going to go into full detail, but let me just say this. That ending is one of, if not the most emotional moment in gaming history. All this bumps my rating up to a ten. By far, one of, if not my favorite game ever.

Gates to Infinity is a good game, albeit it is nowhere near the best in the series. The plot is a highlight in this game, alongside improved gameplay/balancing from the previous games, and a fantastic soundtrack. However, the lack of content in the game - including Pokemon to recruit and story-length - really drag this title down from being great.
I'd recommend playing this game, but only after you've played the other titles in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series!

I really like this game very much. It feels a lot like the previous Mystery Dungeon-games, but a bit different. The story can be a bit slow at times, and yes, the game has some very minor flaws, but it's very good at the same time. The graphics and music are simply astounding, this is absolutely the best looking 3DS game along with Kid Icarus Uprising. I enjoyed this game and I highly recommend it, especially if you liked the previous Mystery Dungeon-games.

How this managed to get a better score than Explorers of Sky is beyond me, the critics are all either payed or plain idiots for something like what we have here to get a better score. Always look at the user reviews, as it seems they knew what really is going on.
Let me start saying this: I don't hate the game. It's enjoyable, but its mind-numbingly easy. I can enter with just the partner you choose in the beginning, reject all requests to join my team, and I'd still get by with barely a scratch on me. And let say this: I was a Snivy. I had 5 weaknesses and the last place is ice based. My partner was an Axew and yet I got through the last dungeon without any problem. In Time, I had to fight Primal Dialga around 3 or 4 times my first run and I was a Riolu with my partner a Charmander!! The easiness of the game is less than a normal mainstream pokemon game, at least with those games you can nuzlocke without exp share to make it more challenging.
I don't think the story was too bad, but it didn't stick to me like it did in past games. I liked the bit with Hydreigon a lot, I recalled, and I really liked what they did with the final boss. That was interesting, but that was it really. It was really, really disappointing. It's been awhile since I've played this game (as I sold it back months ago), but I don't remember there being any small group antagonist like with past incarnations. I think I was pretty disappointed in that too, since that always made it a bit interesting. I'm fine with changing things up, but you really need to do it right.
I think my favorite part of the game was the music; but, music can only improve a game so much. This shoudn't be rated higher than Explorers of Sky. All of these games are underrated, but this one is most certainly overrated. It just doesn't improve on anything at all, gets all the things great about PMD messed up in a mind-numbingly easy way.I hope the next game is better than this.
