Help Pikachu Save the PokéPark

The first Pokémon adventure game on the Wii console, PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure puts Pikachu at the center of a fun, expansive playground filled with adventure, attractions and of course, Pokémon. The Rare Pokémon, Mew, summons Pikachu to the PokéPark to find the missing Sky Prism pieces. The gameworld in this adventure is expansive and filled with other Pokémon. Some of these Pokémon are willing to help, while others may need some convincing. Either way, they may hold the key to finding the missing pieces of the Sky Prism. It's up to Pikachu do what he needs to in order to save the day.

Gameplay

Unlike traditional Pokémon games, which generally trend toward RPG style gameplay facilitated by arena battles with multiplayer options, PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure is a single player action-adventure whose progress is mostly tied to mini-game play. Playing as the iconic Pokémon, Pikachu, the goal is to save PokéPark by finding shards of an object know as the "Sky Prism." These are hidden throughout the 14 themed zones that make up the gameworld, which Pikachu enters and searches with the aid of other Pokémon encountered. To get this aid Pikachu must make friends with these Pokémon. This is sometimes tied to combat, but is generally achieved by besting Pokémon in one of many mini-game style competitions, categorized as either attractions, skill games or cleaning duty. As is always the case in the Pokémon universe, all these Pokémon have different special skills and attributes. This is the point of befriending them, since once befriended players can utilize any Pokémon in mini-game play. Players can also upgrade certain skills by cashing in berries hidden throughout the game that serve as currency. Finally, players can utilize in-game photo functionality to capture moments from the game which can then be saved via Wii SD memory card functionality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Adventure, November 7, 2010

This review is from: PokePark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure (Video Game)
My daughter is 10, and she adored this video game for the Wii system. She thought the graphics were terrific and liked being able to play as Pikachu. She couldn't pull herself away from the game and finished the main story in about 10 hours, but as the show says, you gotta catch 'em all, and who knows how long it will take her to collect all 190-plus Pokemon in the game.

As for the game, the player primarily plays as Pikachu who seeks to collect a bunch of crystals to keep an island from breaking apart. The island is broken up into various areas (e.g., a beach section, an ice mountain, a not-very-frightening haunted house, caverns) where one collects friends by defeating other Pokemon in games like tag or simplified battle and competes in various mini-games. A player also collects berries to power up their speed, health, or battle skills. Yes, the action gets repetitive but less so than any of the DS battle games.

Also, as one reviewer writes, there is a lot... Read more

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: PokePark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure (Video Game)
This is a good choice for a child in 2nd to sixth grade. I think it's actually a bit more suited to girls that game because there is a lot of focus on social interaction that boys might become impatient with. The game is text based and a bit old school in it's layout - this is a hunt and find type of game where Pikachu will be running from one end of PokePark to another looking for pokemon to befriend or battle. The skill level depends on what the player wants from the game. My younger daughter is happy to run through the storyline, my older one wants to collect every single pokemon methodically. Price is a bit high, I think. I wish Nintendo had brought this out at their second price point instead of their established one for longer playing games. That aside, it's been a huge hit in our house since release day. This won't challenge the adult player long, but a child with a bit of patience and a passion for pokemon will love it.

This review is from: PokePark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure (Video Game)
If you are buying this game for a younger child who is a Pokemon fan, then this is a good game. The gameplay mechanics are simple, being limited to a couple buttons and shaking the wiimote. The mini-games and challenges are limited to only a few types, but there are enough to keep things interesting. There is also some variety added to the games in the form of rotating characters and backgrounds. We bought this game for my 5 year-old's birthday, and he has had a great time with it. He can complete almost every challenge with little to no help, and the interfaces are graphical enough that he can get by with limited reading skills. Very recommended for this age set.

If you are outside the specific audience I named above, then I would probably avoid the game. The Wii isn't really known for graphics, but these are closer to N64-quality than most things you see today. Furthermore, if you don't care about running around and meeting all of your favorite Pokemon characters, then... Read more
