    Very simple but it looks good and it's fun while it lasts. One of the better Pokemon spin-offs. [Sept 2010, p.101]

    Poképark Wii is an entertaining game for every fan of the pokemon series, but too unambitious for other players that aren't related to Pokémon.

    It may not be the 3D Pokemon game fans have been crying for ever since the N64 era, but its own take on the "gotta friend 'em all" formula can be just as addicting as catching them.

    Obviously intended for young gamers, and that's exactly who'll get the most out of this. Everyone else will get bored quickly.

    So while the spectacle of the park exceeds the actual rides, PokePark Wii is still worth checking out if you're a fan of the actual Pokemon themselves and just want a relaxing Pokemon-themed diversion.

    For what it is, PokéPark Wii is an endearing little game that is sure to incite nostalgia in longtime fans of the series.

    It'll probably take you about three hours to blast through the game's main objectives, and you can add about two to three more hours if you stop to befriend everyone. After that, there's no reason to come back.

    There isn't a huge amount to keep you coming back, so this game is going to be most popular among kids who go straight for the box, collectors who have to have everything with Pikachu's face on it, and video game journalists who give it 5.8 out of 10 and almost feel bad about it.

    This Pokemon-themed minigame collection misses the point for anyone other than very young Pikachu fans.

    PokePark Wii is everything but interesting. Sure it's aimed to a younger audience but the game's structure, from the minigames to the exploration of the park, is boring and unrewarding.

    Each cutesy character is matched by a plodding task.

I found it in a dumpster, but it was a PC ROM Hack. When I started playing, it was normal, but everything changed when I got to the Haunted Zone. I found Gengar, our lord and savior. This is without a doubt the best game of all time. Gengar also made me rank it 10.… Full Review »

There is plenty to do in this game with all of the Pokemon to befriend via skill games and the attraction mini-game events. The game is not very hard and the battles & games can be usually be completed in a few minutes. Some critics have seen that as a negative, but I think it makes it easier to play. You are always close to an opportunity to save if you need to. I am almost completely done with the Friends List, this gameâ… Full Review »
