Product Description
In Pokmon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, you once again play as a Pokmon Ranger, working to help people, Pokmon and nature in a new area called the Almia Region. Starting out as a Student Ranger, you quickly earn the title of a full-fledged Pokmon Ranger. As you succeed in more and more missions, you will aspire to become the highest Ranger rank: Top Ranger. Along the way you meet and capture all kinds of different Pokmon.
Gameplay
Capture wild Pokmon and create a team to clear obstacles and solve puzzles encountered along the way. After players use a Pokmon's ability, it will leave the player's team; however, you will have a Partner Pokmon that will always stay by your side. As you progress through Missions and Quests, your Capture Styler becomes more powerful, giving your Styler more Energy and eventually advancing you to the level of Top Ranger.
Characters
Harness the power of hundreds of different Pokmon. In addition, players can choose to be a boy or girl Pokmon Ranger.
Key Game Features
- Pokmon Ranger is a unique action-adventure series that features a fun, different way to capture Pokmon with the Nintendo DS stylus, which controls an item called the Capture Styler in the game. Players circle the Pokmon they want to catch by drawing circles around them on the touch screen. When you complete certain Quests, the Ranger Union awards you with power-ups, which add new upgrades and functions to your Capture Styler, allowing you to advance as you work to eventually become a Top Ranger (the most revered Ranger of all).
- Now you can partner with a variety of different Pokmon of each type to complete Missions-giving you many options on how to approach different challenges. Every Pokmon is different, and capturing a Pokmon allows you to use its abilities to overcome various obstacles and challenges you will face alo

Fun:
My 7 yr old is a big fan of both Pokemon Pearl and Diamond games as well as the previous Ranger Games. I admit to enjoying them too!
This is definitely an improvement on the previous Ranger games - bigger, better, wider range of Pokemon all means more play time and plenty to occupy any pokemon loving gamers.
Some will say that this game is nothing new and just a rehash of previous Ranger games. While they have a point - it has the same game play style and same aims, there is plenty of reasons to purchase this game if you already own the previous ranger ones. The new arenas, wider range of pokemons not previously seen in the Ranger games (nice to see some of my personal favourites from Pearl make a reappearance), and plenty of different skills to use, make it a more interesting and varied game. It has a similar level of difficulty as the previous Ranger games and is suitable for age 5/6 yrs upwards. It is certainly keeping my 7 yr old occupied! She has played it more than any of the previous ranger games. In the past she has always enjoyed the ranger games but insisted that Pearl and Diamond are her top games. This is sharing the top spot right now - high praise indeed from my fussy daughter!
You do not need to have played the previous games to enjoy this alone and equally, it is ok if you have played the others - both new and old pokemon fans should find plenty to keep them happy in this addition to the Pokemon family.

Fun:
I just finished this game about a minute ago. And my goodness was it fantastic! Gameplay is greatly improved. The main aspect that was improved is the capture method. Although pretty much the same as the old game, to capture a pokemon you don't have to continuely loop it, you can take a break from looping. The 'friendship feelings' will stay with the pokemon for a while, allowing you a short break while the pokemon attacks. This meant that really, poke assists were a bit useless, but that was fine by me.
The addition of being able to swim under water, ride on floatzel, mantine, empoleon, torkoal etc was also pretty cool. I mean, there is nothing more awesome the surfing on lava!
You can catch Staraptor and fly on them, or ride doduo to get around a bit faster. There is a better variety of pokemon this time too. The only problem was the lack of save points. Luckily my styler only broke twice in the game, but at certain points, I could imagine how awful it would be for it to break, when you hadn't been to a save point in over 30 minutes.
Get this game before the end of February '09 to download the special missions from Ranger Net!
I couldn't put this game down, my poor DS is worn out. I think it deserves a rest now, but only once I have completed the extra missions!
If you are a pokemon fan or not, get this game.
An additional note, don't get put off by the first hour or two of this game. It was very slow to begin with, but persevere, because it just keeps getting better!

Quite Impressive
First off, let me just say I wasn't expecting much. I had enjoyed the first Pokemon Ranger; but from what I had read I didn't think this to be much good. Read more

Great Fun
Bought this for my 6 year old son - but it was soon taken over by his 8 year old sister. They love it but say it's a bit slow to get started - lots of reading in the Ranger School... Read more
