Generally speaking, when it comes to Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, game critics speak well of it. With its improved graphics and new features to enhance game play, it’s a sure winner for a game that has been a winner. The numbers speak for themselves, well over 2 million units of Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire have been sold in the US.

I was surfing on the net one day, and found a very interesting review about Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire that I like to share. Not only did it review the game, it talked about the game at a personal level. Below is a part of the review:

“Let’s get this out of the way right now. I am a male, I am 21 years of age and I lead a normal, healthy (to some extent) life. I do, however, from time to time, play video games. As you may expect, occasionally, I do stumble across games that may be designed for a younger audience than myself. But, and this is a big but, I would never discriminate against a game because of it’s target audience. A good game is a good game, and it’s as simple as that.”

He also talks about his past, on how Pokemon came about to him, and how he got “hooked” on to Pokemon:

“Way back in 1998 (I think) I travelled to the States and bought myself a Gameboy pocket to replace my massive, yet much loved, Gameboy. Whilst making the purchase, I noticed stacks of a certain game title behind the counter. ‘What’s that?’ I asked. ‘That’s Pokemon’, replied the cashier. I bought a copy of the game and toddled off back to the hotel to have a go. Three hours later, when my eyes began trying to recess into my skull, I stopped playing. I was hooked. Ever since then, I have bought every single version of this game available to me. I’m proud to say…*gasp*… that I ‘like’ Pokemon.”

At the end, he goes on to say:

“As it stands Pokemon Ruby (or Sapphire) makes for a fun game. I would recommend for both kids and adults alike. It may be childish, it may be simple, but who cares when it’s this much fun?”

An excellent, well thought review of Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire. I liked how he shared his his past experience with Pokemon. For the entire review, go here: Ferrago: Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire
