Default Pokemon Snap - Any Good?

Hi all.

I saw there was another thread on Pokemon Snap but it was discussing the Wii features in general for other VC games.

So, I've got 2000 points (1000 is reserved for gifts), so the immediate choice seems to be Pokemon Snap. Do you think I should go for it?

Thanks all.

You never know, the best answer might get some positive rep - Yahoo Answers style!

What VC games have you got so far?

Almost all of the N64 ones are worth having and there's plenty of other classics that might warrant some point spending over Pokemon Snap as well!

Well (for N64), I have Ocarina, Yoshi's Story and Mario Kart 64.
Never really liked Wave Race and Mario 64 I've played thousands of times.

I'm also a Pokemon lover!

So, is it the right choice? Is it a long game? Thanks!

It's nothing like the other Pokemon games. You just wander around looking for different po0kemon, taking photos of them when you spot them. I think you buuild up a pokedex of the critters that you have photographed so far.

We used to have it on the N 64, but my kids got bored with it.

There's only so many times you can keep travelling around the same landscape looking for new pokemon.

Not the best way to use 1000 points in my opinion.

Well I've never played the game before, but if you are really into pokemon, the chances are you will like it. Although it just involves taking photos of pokemon.

I highly recommend Paper Mario and F-Zero X on the N64 though. Both are true classics of the console and are much more widely appreciated than snap

Oh yeah - I have Paper Mario as well!

So it's between Snap and F-Zero...

Plus sides of Snap:

1. Wii Internet Capabilities
2. It's Pokemon!
3. Quite relaxing...

Minus sides of Snap:

1. Super short apparently... 1 hour...
2. Other better games out there.
3. Looks a bit iffy.

Plus sides of F ZERO.

1. It's F ZERO!
2. Quite deep.
3. Lots of customisation etc.

Minus sides of F ZERO.

1. I'm not overly keen on racers.
2. Apparently it runs slowly.
3. Graphics are pretty... yucky.

So, someone help me decide!

How about another system?

SNES has loads of great games, and Bomberman for TurboGrafix is an absolute classic!

If it HAD to be one of those 2, then I'd personally go for F-Zero every time, but if you don't like racing games, there's not going to be a lot for you.
Looking at the reviews from both, I get the feeling that F-Zero stands the test of time a lot better than Snap.

Whichever you chose I'm sure you'll get at least an hours worth of fun

yeah, I have loads of SNES and Bomberman on DS, so it looks like it has to be Snap for me!

Thanks for all the help. Plus rep to all of you! Apart from Mojo who I gave rep to recently so I have to wait etc.

Thanks again - I'll post back my opinion of Snap.
