As a long-time fan of the original Pokemon Snap (I still replay it every couple of years) I am BLOWN AWAY by how good this sequel is. It keeps nearly everything that was amazing about the original and adds just enough new features to feel fresh without diluting the concept. First of all, this game is FULL of content. If you're trying to fill out every star of every pokemon in your pokedex (and why wouldn't you?) and complete all of the requests, you are going to spend a very long time with this game. Sure, the main "storyline" could probably be completed in a day, but the real point of this game and its predecessor is to try to get the best, rarest photos of every pokemon available on every course, and that takes time and patience. It's true that there are no evolution sequences in this game (for instance in the original you could lure a slowpoke to fish for a shellder and it would evolve into slowbro), which is disappointing, but there are so many unique pokemon interactions that I find myself unable to be angry about it. I don't want to spoil any of these moments for those who haven't played the game yet (every time I find a new interaction between 2+ pokemon I get a wonderful rush of delight from the surprise, so I don't want to ruin that for anyone else) but you will see pokemon chase each other, fight, play together, dance, and much more. There are definitely more routes than the original game has, and every time you gain enough experience in one to level it up you unlock more content on that route. There are also day and night versions of many of the courses offering unique pokemon and interactions, and sometimes you will find alternate paths you can choose to take. My biggest gripe is that this game retains the original's on-rails sequences where you have very little effect on how quickly or slowly your vehicle moves. I don't mind a linear path, particularly in such a heavily scripted game like this, but I wish you could stop and start as you please. I wish they had just made the player follow a set path through each route to "avoid disrupting the environment too much" or something but let us walk at our own pace and turn around as we wish. However, if my only complaint about this game is that it did something the original also did, I feel I can't judge it too harshly. I haven't even completed the main storyline yet and I have gotten dozens of hours of fun with many more ahead of me. I can wholeheartedly recommend this game both to those of us who grew up with the original and to new Pokemon fans experiencing Snap for the first time!Read full review

This is such a relaxing game, with what seems to be way way more depth than the original. I love it, but I was also an enormous fan of the original. I love the "leveling up" of the maps, it reminds me of leveling up pokemon in the core games.

A long awaited title from gamefreak finally arrived this year. I never played the Nintendo 64 title, however from what I've heard, this game improves upon all of the set backs from the original and than some. I definitely have enjoyed this game. I hope that gamefreak make a sequel for this game and keeps the series around longer.

The game is in perfect condition, no scratches on the case or anything. It's a good game, but it's not making me want to play it more if you get what I'm saying. I You have to keep going through the same areas to get all 4 pictures with 1-4 stars and then most of the time, you'll have an okay picture but it will say that there's no subject even when the pokemon is right in the middle.
