Review: Pokemon Rumble (WiiWare)

Welcome to the world of pokémon where cute creatures that you capture fight it out in the arena to prove who is the best........!?
Wind-up toy AROUND!
That's right though the pokémon may be toys they have the same goals and loyalty to thier trainers as real pokémon do!

Gameplay

The controls in this game are simple as this game uses the sideways wiimote method and the button layout is so simple it needs no explanation,however the reason I mention this is because you'll be glad the controls are simple due to the hordes of pokémon you'll face in this game,sometimes literally 100s at a time!

The game plays like a simple beat em' up game but there is the usual strategy.
pokémon types,move types,and what abilities your pokémon has are all very important and make it easier to beat bosses and catch new pokémon!
Pokémon Rumble also features those oh so collectible "shiny" pokémon to keep you coming back to complete your collection of pokémon!
The game has 6 levels per class and 4 classes total,each class also has a battle royale which must be completed to move on to the next class!

There are also 2 hidden difficulty levels with many exclusive pokémon that must be unlocked by beating the game!

Graphics and Music

this game uses simple pre N64 3D graphics with low polygon count,but it gets the job done,and the music is nice yet oddly familiar to pokémon animé fans!

Bottom line-Pokémon Rumble is a great beat em' up game that uses the collectathon method to give it an insane amount of replay value,and has graphics that work,as well as fun music tunes,and at 1500 points it may be a bit steep,but it has some of the best replayability of any wiiware title!

Score ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 9/10

9- Awesome This game has little in the way of flaws, and is a highly enjoyable experience.
