7.8 - A Pokemon Light Platinum Review - liquidmk
This review is an "in-depth" review of the Pokemon Ruby romhack, Pokemon Light Platinum. I'm a little strict and maybe biased when reviewing games, so take this with a grain of salt.
Let's get this out of the way first, this is a romhack. It's not something made by a huge company. However, this romhack IS pretty well made. There's no doubting that. With all 600-something pokemon intact, plenty of rivals to battle, a new story to dive into, and many more things.. This romhack is probably amazing, right?
..Well, that's when my review comes into play. I don't play a LOT of romhacks (Just some), but I have played a lot of the Pokemon games from the 1st generation to the 4th generation. (I haven't experience the 5th generation quite yet.)
So I will be comparing this romhack to the regular Pokemon games.. It's probably not fair on paper, but this CAN be compared to them at a degree.
As for how far I've gotten through the game, all eight badges were collected. Just wanted to verify this before claims that I didn't reach the first gym or something like that. Anyway, the review begins.

Graphics:
When it comes to graphics, it really excels with flying colors. Wesley FG (The person who made it) did a really great job making his own region and makes it almost feel like it's a mysterious region never to be seen by Pokemon players. As for the "new" pokemon, both the Gen 4 and Gen 5 pokemon look exactly as they did in their own respective games. It's worthy of praise.
I have seen some minor glitches throughout my playthrough of Light Platinum, but you can't always be perfect.
The graphics gets a 9. To the untrained eye, you could mistake this for a REAL Pokemon game.. However.. There's a lot more to cover other than graphics.

Sound:
The music is the same as Pokemon Ruby's. There's no denying that. I'm not really a fan of the Gen 3 music, but it seems to fit right in for this romhack. There are some areas with silence, which is questionable.. But it's passable.
The sound effects are about the same as well, except for the new pokemon noises. Frankly, I saw this as a little lazy because of re-using different pokemon noises.. But what else can you do with a romhack?
Sound gets a 8. If there were less silent moments, it would definitely be a solid 9. You really can't mess up with the sound in a romhack, unless the sound is completely distorted and loud.. Thankfully, it wasn't.
--
Addictiveness:
This is kind of hard to rate, because I was playing this in short bursts. After around 15-20 hours and getting the last badge, it gets really repetitive at some points. Specifically anything to do with the Team Rocket-esque group that was included with this romhack was painful to go through. This is because some of the members were using the same exact pokemon lineup. (Makes sense if it's a standard rule code for them, but it feels a little lazy.)
Another thing to mention is that there are TOO many rival encounters. I can understand having at least two rivals, but.. There are more rivals than that amount. It just feels more of a chore to fight them and not as surprising when these rivals come out of nowhere. (This is probably a complaint from a bitter man, but it was frustrating.)
The reason why I'm adding these two nitpicks is because it really affects replayability for me. Too many rival encounters really stagnates the game experience.. And that's not good.
Addictiveness gets a 6. Light Platinum is more fun when you progress through the game, but it gets pretty rough early on. (If you pick any pokemon other than a Fire type, that is.)
