Customer Reviews

Am i 8 again?
I first got a Pokemon game, with a Gameboy Colour when i was around 8/9 as a christmas present from my uncle. I remember playing Pokemon Blue all day, Boxing Day and i was thrilled to bits.

God only knows how many years on and here i am playing Pokemon Fire Red, and the memories are flooding back. If you have played the originals this will be very familiar to you, its the same story with the same Pokemon, just with animations and graphics similar to Pokemon Ruby, but don't let that put you off...

If you played the originals when i did, then this will seem like new to you, the music and Pokemon will make you think back. Yes, i did play the originals but i still find this quite challenging and very compelling and addictive. To be honest, i find myself playing this more than the latest Pokemon versions, diamond and pearl.

If your a Pokemon beginner or a seasoned veteran I'd still highly recommend this very well re-make of a instant phenomenon. There is so much to do on so many levels its accessible by all ages, whether your 8 or 38!!

Nostalgia in a cartridge!
Fire red is a remake of the original game boy classic pokemon red with ruby and sapphires third generation game engine. But to call it JUST a remake is a serious understatement. this game is fun, addictive and strangely heart warming as anyone who played the original games will remember going through the same story line, its also makes feel as though you were that little kid gazing at the tiny gameboy screen in your own little world.... well that's how i felt. Sure it's the exact same game but with some more pokemon to catch, better graphics and a couple of new islands but thats not the point, i bought it for the memory and at £17 or so its not bad.

Note: DS owners
Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to play this game. When I put it in a DS and saved the load would never come back next time I played. Just thought I'd warn potential buyers.
