Pokemon

User Rating: 9.3 | Pokemon Colosseum GC
The Stadium has been conquered, enter a new arena--Pokemon Colosseum. In this innovative game, players can upload Pokemon from their Game Boy Advance games Pokemon Ruby and Pokemon Sapphire, and battle against friends on their televisions through Nintendo GameCube. With a collection of arenas to choose from, players can enter their Pokemon in a tournament or battle it out in four-player multi-battles, making each experience unlike the last. Players also can join with a friend to combine strengths in new two-on-two battles and demonstrate their Pokemon prowess as a team.

The Story mode, variety of Battle mode options and amazing level of detail give the game an immeasurable amount of fun and replay value

Impressive? Definitely. It's very heavy on the Japanese text though, so only hardcore import fans should bother with it right now. By the time it sees a proper UK release in March though, expect to be blown away.

Could Pokemom Colosseum have been a much better game? The answer is definitely, "Yes", with the need of a better storyline, graphics and more features. Yet, I was impressed with what did make it into Pokemon Colosseum and that above all else I found myself having fun and enjoying the game.
