In the scheme of things it wasn’t until I reached the fourth league that there was anything remotely like a challenge, and I finally had to think tactically, using my abilities and attacks at the right moments."
"The game’s ease was even more apparent when my four-year-old son merrily played single battles, and generally came out on top, despite not once blocking or using a Synergy Attack as his hands are too small to reach the shoulder buttons. However, he absolutely loved it, and if anything it’s perhaps best to view the single-player game as being aimed squarely at children, or as an overly long tutorial to prepare you for fighting online or in local multiplayer." Wow, this is something major that should be patched. Also, 16 characters is way too low for a full priced game. Especially when the Pokemon roster is so big. |
The difficulty complaints are curious though as I have heard and indeed seen that the difficulty ramps up consistently as you go and eventually gets outright hard in the two final leagues. Which does give me the sneaky suspicion that these early reviews might be littered with those who didn't finish the core content (which is only what, 12 to 15 hours?).
The most curious thing is thatwe have a number of reviews in the 6 to high 7s range that are sighting shallowness as a flaw and another number citing overcomplexity as a flaw.
