Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver are remakes of the classic Pokemon game for the gameboy colour. Even tho is a remake, the game doesn't stray to far away from diamond and pearl. This game does have the same story of the classic gold and silver games, but a few minor changes.


This game looks roughly the same as Diamond and Pearl, but it does look nice to see the classic 8 bit game in 3D. There is lots of depth in the building, but nothing really new. But they've also included more audio, even tho at times it seems to be a bit awkward. The Pokemon still make those weird buzzing sounds, and make the pokemon all sound alike.

The gameplay still remains the same, the standard RPG game style that we all love. Things haven't changed that much, but they did add a few new gameplay additions. They have now brought back events that go in hand with the time, and provide more off track little missions. Also just like gold and silver there are two regions, allowing you to get 16 badges. But the biggest addition was the pokewalker, the pokewalker allows you to steer away from the DS and allows you to find and catch random pokemon. This cool and all but doesn't really affect the gameplay that much.

Overall this is a very good game, it sticks to the roots of the original Gold and Silver games. Even tho this is a remake its not some sloppy port, there are a good amount of tweaks to make this game feel new. This is a must buy for all pokemon fans, even those who used to play and haven't played the new Diamond and Pearl games. I rate this game 8.5/10.

8.5/10 "AWESOME"
