Though the catching system tries something innovative and falls a little short, Pokémon Coliseum is still a must have for Pokemon fans with Gamecubes, and is bolstered by its graphics, different storyline (and a cool new perspective as an anti-heroish guy, not a 10 year old collecting badges), quirky bosses, and GBA-Gamecube connectivity which allows you to obtain several rare and even event only Pokémon from this game in your GBA titles. Some may find battling repetitive, but I found it engaging, especially thanks to the great soundtrack in this game. This isn't the best game on Gamecube, but it's definitely a fun, worthwhile game.

The game is okay. The goal is to catch all Shadow Pokemon and purify them all. The best thing about catching them all in order to purify them is that it's easy to get the three legendary dogs. The music is great and cool to listen to.

This is not your average Pokemon title. From the get-go you will find out that this game is a look into the darker, more mature side of Pokemon. This doesn't mean the game is bad for your kids. They will likely enjoy it; but I'm just warning that the game is very challenging! You begin the game playing as a tough-looking vandal trainer with a pollutive motor bike that could fall an entire forest of trees. He soon meets a girl who can see shadow Pokemon, and so the story unfolds. Your goal in this game is to catch, purify and train each shadow Pokemon as you battle to thwart the nasty plots of evil organizations. This game has several amazing 3D areas to explore and impressive battle graphics. You can also link up your GameBoy Advance to trade or battle Pokemon in Colosseum. The only things I really don't like about this game is the frustrating challenge level and that the action can get a little ripetitive at times. However, I really enjoyed this game much more than its sequel, "XD". The Pokemon you can catch are rarer and more coveted, and the mature twist makes the game more immersive. The game is really fun and enjoyable, especially if you are a hardcore Pokemon fan. 4/5Read full review
My primary purpose for purchasing this particular game was to get the bonus disc in order to obtain Jirachi. However, the seller I purchased it from was offering both the game and bonus disc for the same price most sellers were selling the bonus disc alone for. Of cousre, I got what I wanted (the Jirachi) but I also decided to try out the gameplay as well. I enjoy that you actuallly get to play as a quasi villain, and the storyline is a bit more unique nd darker from others in the Pokemon series, which is typically bubble gummy and light hearted. All in all though, the gameplay did get a little boring, and the inability to capture pokemon aside from using the snagging device became frustrating very quickly. All in all, the story felt a little cheesy, and I grew bored/tired of the storyline fairly quickly. All in all, as far as games go in the Poemon series, this is decent, and for the price of both the game and the bonus disc, I feel like it was a good deal. I don't regret purchasing the game, and all in all, in the long run, it still has that classic Pokemon feel to it that so many have grown to love.Read full review
Some say that Pokemon has gone out of style. That may be true, but this does not mean the games are not fun anymore. This is a great game because you can finally play the RPG aspect of Pokemon on the big screen (your TV), instead of just battling them or takeing pictures. Sure, the plot is a little cheezy, but if you're like me and can make a joke out of it and still get into it, then this is your game! Certainly, this game is not for everyone, but many can find it enjoyable. The only problem I had with the game was the fact that you could not choose which Pokemon you catch. And, you only have one opportunity to catch certain Pokemon you run into (that is, unless you reset the game in a furious rage). Overall, if you are a Pokemon fan and not afraid to admit it, then this is your game. Everyone else might want to pass this one up.Read full review
