    If you're the type of player who milks a game for all it's worth, then you'll likely enjoy Explorers of Sky's new content, but more casual players might wonder what all the fuss is about. [Dec 2009, p.84]

The story is great, the characters are fun and it's really challenging. The only problem is how unforgiving the gameplay is (especially at the end). But other than that, it's amazing. Also, despite what the critics say, this game is different from Explorers of Time and Darkness. The special episodes and extra dungeons make the game a lot more fun than other mystery dungeon games.

    This game is the most under-rated game in history. The plot is the best of any in the Pokemon franchise and has a decent game play time. TheThis game is the most under-rated game in history. The plot is the best of any in the Pokemon franchise and has a decent game play time. The music fits perfectly with each scene and level and you can tell effort has been put into it, each stage having it's own music. The downside is little was changed from explorers of Time and darkness and is still the same game. However, it is definitely the one to get out of the three if you are new to the series and don't own any of the others. Full Review »
