Populous DS - DS Game (Retro Fam)

It’s in working condition

Good game. Shipped quickly and works fine.

Expectations were met

Okay, well, I got this game because I am a Pokemon die-hard and I love the collecting/strategy/cute/etc. aspects of this game. I loved Sapphire/Ruby and Crystal/Silver/Gold, they all had good plots that didn't stray from the formula but still entertained. I didn't ever have a game boy color, so, my loss, but that's really beside the point.ANYWAYSThis game is the first DS pokemon game that Nintendo has released. I am therefore forced to go easy on it. I have to attribute the repetitive scenery and unoriginal Pokemon to the newness of the technology. *cough* yeah right *cough*. I just really got sick of seeing the same old same old bird/fish/other common animal Pokemon, and, HELLO, newer technology does not mean that you have to make the legendary Pokemon look like a dinosaur robot! I mean jeeze! I really preferred Lugia and Hoho. They looked sweet and somewhat believable and more, um, *ahem* LEGENDARY. My advice to Nintendo is to look elsewhere for Pokemon models, because wherever you're currently getting them from is really not aesthetically appealing.I also thought the elite four were too easy, The first part of the game was not nearly long enough and I MISS SECRET BASES. They were so much fun, please bring them back Nintendo. I mean this game had them I guess, but they were underground, so the only model you had was like a rock cave, and you had to clear rocks out and stuff. NO fun.I still recommend this game to basically anyone because there are also many positives. I jus.

Purchased for sons birthday....Awesome game and he could not be happier!
