Amazing Storytelling
When I was younger, the story blew my mind, there is a key moment in the story that changed the way that I thought of storytelling in video games, most people who played it might know this moment, but reguardless I am not going to tell you this great moment. This game in my opinion is the best thing that has ever come out of Generation 4 along side with that awesome darkrai movie, this dungeon crawler is so much fun, it stole hours of my time. My only problem is how you choose your pokemon, it doesnt have customization, you have to answer a set of questions and then your pokemon is choosen for you, for example I want a torchic, so I would have to go through the survey at the beggining many times if I wanted a torchic. And that is really frustrating. But overall, the game is a handheld masterpiece, one of my favorite pokemon games on the ds and one of my favorite pokemon games in existance.

Enjoyable in small doses
A solid follow up to Red Rescue team, but lacking in a few key areas. Mostly not being able to evolve your main characters until the absolute end of the game was the largest let down. Had the Pokemon company let you evolve earlier then you wouldn't have to try high level dungeons at halve the recommended level. The only other negative is that the story line is quite nonsensical. Other then that, it is a well built turn based, dungeon-crawler, Pokemon game.

Sorry, but Mystery Dungeon is an EPIC FAIL!!!!!!!!
I am sorry Nintendo, but this is the first time you have dissapointed me. I played this gamefor about 3 hours, but the gameplay was SO BORING AND HORRIBLE, that I put it down. Literally, I put my DS down, left it on, and just listened to the awesome music for a while. I traded this game in a week later. I hated Pokemon from that day foward, UNTIL I got Firered. I am now a Pokemaniac for life! Bottom line, this third party game stinks. Try the original gameplay versions.

LOVED IT-*
I'm a very big fan of Pokemon. I have about every Pokemon game there is from Gameboy to Ds, and I absolutley loved this game. The story line is really interesting and i couldn't stop playing this game until I beat it! I love that the game is really long and not short like other pokemon games.(Pokemon ranger) I don't think there is anything wrong with this game. I love it so much! I would recomend it from about age 11 and up..since there is alot of reading to do , like most Pokemon games.

A storyline to remember
There are plenty of reviews that have a varying amount of opinions, but mine are always blunt and honest. The battling system is flawed and It is hard to control. I didn't pay much attention to the music, though I do remember having some of the tunes stuck in my head for a decent amount of time. The saving grace of this game though, is the beautiful storyline. It was very well thought of and played with the emotions of the player. The ending was magnificent, though, like the rest of the reviews here, I will not spoil. Any players that are hopeless romantics for story lines, then this game should be in your shelf because it is truly fun and entertaining. I know how hard it is to find a really good game, and in my opinion, this is definitely a safe bet.
There's also an additional cut scene at the end of the Credits so you might want to endure through it to see it.

Absolutely fantastic!
So pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of darkness is one of the best games I played. The storyline is a good length and it's very interesting and makes you want to keep playing. At the end of the game (which I shall not reveal) it gets kind of emotional to be honest. The music is kinda odd. I love the storyline it's a little longer than the explorer games before. The graphics could have been better but I don't think it matters. When I first got it I couldn't stop playing. It was so interesting and much more fun than i thought it would've been. My favorite team is mudkip and turtwig. The beginning is kind of slow but as it progresses it becomes more fun and interesting. I'd recommend you buy it if you haven't already for it's definitely worth it. Well, uh, yep so that's my review.
