I bought the Super Pokemon Rumble for my Grandson for Christmas, as he didn't have any Pokemon games, and I wasn't too sure that he would like it. It is now his absolutely favourite game.

this game is not as easy as u think. not played for a while, but will have to finish it soon.

My grandaughter loved this game so it was a hit for Xmas and good marks for the grandparents - very good game.

Bought this instead of chocolate for Easter. My son loves it and even though he needs a little input reading the instructions, he is powering through the game. I obviously haven't played it but he assures me it's a brilliant game. I'll take his word for it.

To say that I was pleasantly surprised is a small understatement. I was, in all honesty, expecting to return this game, but it's simple appeal has me hooked. It's sort of implied that you're some kid who collects wind-up pokemon toys - but you only ever seem to walk around as whichever toy is chosen to be first in your party. You proceed in a fairly linear fashion through levels where different types of wind-up Pokemon toys will come and attack you. You must hammer the A button until they are all dead. Sometimes you will be rewarded with a new wind up toy of the breed that you just demolished, sometimes not. The random nature of which toys can be collected means that levels get replayed, so you can collect 'em all.

I had been reading FAR too much into the meaning of this game. The reason it seemed so simple on the outside was because frankly, it's simple on the inside as well. This is a good old fashioned frenzied button-bashing game, and it keeps it simple with a maximum of two buttons that can be assigned to your toy. The idea is to cause as much destruction as possible, then at the end of each little level you are rewarded with some wholly unexpected drum and bass. Oh yeah, probably forgot to mention the thrash metal introduction too. If you purchase this game, do yourself a favour and have your first game with the volume turned right up - the music is excellent!

This game is stunning. The 3D graphics make this game better and the storyline about it is superb. The gameplay and the graphics are stunning. I really recommend getting this game. I'm 10 years old and I really needed a game for my 3DS console and this game was just the right one. But this game can get addictive so don't play for too long or else your hands will be glued to your console! I've had great experiences with this game and it is very fun to play. Only one thing is disappointing about this game. The storyline is slightly short, after finished and beat the storyline then you can't really do anything. But other than that the storyline is really fun and a joy to play with. I highly recommend this game as it is probably the best game I've ever played. It is an amazing game.

I must admit, I took a bit of a punt buying this game, as you may well know, this game has struggled to get much more than 6/10 anywhere.
Maybe it's because I haven't played the wii version, but I am struggling to put it down, sure, it's very linear, the story leaves much to be believed, and the trade in your pokemon for evolved versions is a bit peculiar, but it does entertain.

Let's start with the graphics. Yes, they look basic, but I'm beginning to think this was on purpose, seems to me like the game was meant to be kept simple and fun to play. It's all there though, just... Toy style. The 3D is good too, unlike some recent releases. 7/10

Onto the sound. It's all there, good soundtrack, attacks sound good, and it's all good quality. 9/10

Now, the gameplay. Here's where Rumble falls down a bit, the standard gameplay is just wander round, mash a / b and hope you don't faint, there's a "boss" so to speak, in each level, some quite a bit harder than others. Then there's the other modes, some I like, some I'm not sure on. The tag battle was a good idea, but I'm not too sure on the hyper mode system.
Then there's the charge battle mode, this just seems like content filler to me, it's really not the defining point of the game at all.
Battle Royale however, I do like, it's just 90 seconds of wind up mayhem. 7.5 / 10

Next, the multiplayer: This is where Rumble falls down big time. The co-op is pretty good, but you can't progress through the story with a friend, and the only way to battle is to use streetpass, which of course, means more AI. There also isn't any trading, which may make "catching them all" quite hard work. 3.5 / 10

Now I'm going to touch on the game itself, it's generally pretty good, again, not sure about the evolution system, because you could have 1 of 7 (or 49, depending on how you do it) with a massive power score, but the evolution system seems to take the average, so, if the other 6 to 48 have bad scores you could (and probably will) wind up with a pokemon who's power rating is actually lower. That said, you do get the benefit of higher attack and defence ratings.

If you're looking for something to fill the gap between Pokemon B/W and the long anticipated 3rd instalment to generation 5, this could well be for you. It's a good game.
Sadly, that also hinders it from becoming 5 stars in my view; its "a good game", whilst rumble does (almost) everything it sets out to well, there's nothing there that I can honestly say is revolutionary and amazing.

If you're a pokemon fan, you'll probably enjoy this game, if you're new to the series, it may not float your boat, and you may well be better off pretty much every other 3DS game on the market.

7.0/10, enjoyable, but probably needed a little more time in development to be a 5 star game. Definitely better than most reviewers would have you believe however, and certainly worth renting, if not a purchase.

Bit of a spin on the pokemon we know. But a great straight forward game and enjoyable. Basically collect as many pokemon as u can, as strong as u can then battle in the arena. No real brain work needed just straight forward fun.

My grandson is absolutely delighted with this as a gift. He has played with it every day since Dec 25th. I was happy that it could be bought from US and delivered to an address in UK. Thank you for making it so easy to make him this happy.

Really excellent if you like Pokemon then you will love this game. The main fum is winning the different characters.
