I am such a huge fan of Nintendo so when I got the chance to review the newest release in the Pokémon line I was so excited as I love playing the Pokémon games. It started out as me playing this series with my son and turned me into a full fledged fan and I have played all the previous games except the Mystery Dungeon line, so this was a new experience for me. Explorers of the Sky takes on a whole new twist, one I hadn’t seen before, and upon entering the game and having your aura read you become a Pokémon. I became an Eevee, which is rather funny as that is my favorite one.

I love this game on the DS as I am one of those that love using the stylus while playing, kind of add a twist to the game play. The dungeons are vast and are the major part of the game. Some people don’t like the “old school” looks of games such as this one but I do, it takes me back to my roots, when I started playing and reminds me of why I like games so much. They have evolved greatly over the years, but sometimes too much and I like curling up with a game just like this one.

I am still in the middle of playing, but Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky has been jam packed full of fun for me and I am enjoying it immensely! I recommend it to gamers young and not so young (like me) and think it would make a great Christmas gift!
