Product Description
The Professor has asked you to capture the Wild Pokemon of Pokémon island...on film! Tour the island in your ZERO-ONE vehicle and snap pictures of Pokémon in their natural habitat. Wild Pokémon are often camera-shy, so you'll have to use special items to bring them out in the open. Only the best shots will do for the Professor's Pokémon Report, so sharpen your photography skills and get ready to SNAP!
Editorial Review
Although it's geared more for younger players, Pokémon Snap is good clean fun for Pokémon fans of any age. In this Pokémon battle-free adventure, players assist Professor Oak in completing his Pokémon Report by photographing the cute little buggers in the wild on Pokémon Island. Players take a trolley-like ride through the island's 3-D environments, filled with Pokémon that not only look just like they do in the cartoons, but also have "cries" to match. While there's a limited amount of film for each trip and no zoom lens, players enjoy great freedom of directional movement from within the vehicle, thanks to solid controls. Pokémon Snap isn't as easy as it looks, as not just any old picture will satisfy Professor Oak; submissions for his Pokémon Report are judged on size, pose, technique, and whether or not there's more than one of the same Pokémon in the picture. As progress is made, new areas open up, and players are given items to aid them in their quest. Although there are only seven areas, they need to be revisited often, as hidden and otherwise uncooperative Pokémon must be "coaxed" by using items that you previously didn't have before. Also, Pokémon will do some of the craziest things--which make for great photographs--but only under certain conditions that require much experimentation (or a strategy guide) to unearth. --Joe Hon Pros:
- Good clean fun for Pokémon fans of any age

- Print out stickers of your photos at a Pokémon Snap Sticker Station
Cons:
- An anti-Pokémaniac's worst nightmare
- Contains only 63 of the 151 Pokémon
- Game cartridge can hold only 1 player's save data

One of the few nonviolent video games the kids actually like. Instead of being armed with a gun the character has a camera. The goal is to take the best picture of the moving Pokemon. Their grandma likes the game too.

My 5-year-old son loves it!!! He enjoys feeding the pokemon and seeing the various types more than taking their pictures though.

Yeah, I'm a serious pokemon fan, yeah I'm 18. Even though I beat the whole game in a little over an hour it was fun the whole time. I think thats how I did it so fast, you are just like... pulled in. I beat it a few times when I was younger then decided to buy it again, so thats the only reason I blew through it.. but it's so fun trying to find out the secret places and pokemon and getting new items to use. The coolest thing I think is seeing the pokemon run around all in 3-d and realistic like, and trying to find ways to take new pictures is definitely fun. I think it's even fun to watch someone else play.
Are you a pokemon fan? Buy. this. game.
Fun, Excellent March 18, 2008

I throughly did not like this game at all. Unless you enjoy being on a set track and taking pictures of pokemon with a limited amount of film and giving them food or bombing them or playing music for them and taking more pictures. Then this game is not for you.
