is platinum the exact same game as diamond/pearl but with different pokemon? or a new one?

 

[Gambra]

It's the same as Diamond/Pearl but it has newer Lengendary pokemon in it. That's basically it but I never got into Pearl so I'll be giving this one a proper go.

I'm in the tower..I thought the first few were ok but now I'm on this make seven squares thing and it's wrecking my head..and the worst thing is that you can't by-pass them..headwreckers..

You're almost there! Seven squares took me a long time. I left the machine alone for about three days then came back to it last night and passed it easily. I did that by placing a square or two, turning the screen sideways and staring at that for a while, then repeat, turning screen upside down and then you'll get it!

I need new games now.

Awesome. I've fallen in love with my DS again after the fancier iPhone took over.

Finally got stuck into the first one the other day. Looking forward to this. Is it pretty different or kinda the same thing again???

 

[Gambra]

It's pretty much the same, nothing massively changed to it. I was hoping for a Traume Center type overhaul (which changed a great game to a sublime game) but it's the same controls etc just a different story obviously.

there's way more math problems, which i hate.

Right, in an utterly bizzare turn of events, my dad has said he wants a DS for Christmas. This from a man who has shown no interest in Technology since my Atari 2600 nearly 30 years ago. Anyway, I've no idea what to get him. I think his interest is based on Brain Training, so I'm thinking of the Professor Layton games too. Or are they a little whimsical for a 60 odd year old man who likes football and beer?

[Lefty Frizzell]

I dont think those cards work on the new DSi's. I may be wrong, I may be right.

Yeah the thing is I find piracy kinda despicable, so I won't be doing that.

the professor layton games are great, got them for my mam and after an initial , how do i do this/that ? she was able to get through the whole game. Aside from that there are the brain training ones which everyone seems to like. There is also "42 all time classics" which is a load of board/card games.

There are also some individual board games like monopoly, catan, carcassone but not too sure what the versions are like on the ds.

Scrabble, solitaire, chessmaster, Crosswords, sudoku would also be good buys. The version of broken sword is great but might be pushing it a bit far

my dad likes Prof Layton and football but not beer.
hope this helps.

 

[Stan Bowles]

Cheers chaps, prof layton is the way forward then.
