Nintendo certainly know the way to please their fans. Way back on the old Gameboy Colour, the games Pokemon Gold and Silver ruled the roost. Indeed, the games are so popular that they're stillbeing enjoyed nowadays as cult favourites. This said, Nintendo are looking to build on the polularity of these games by creating remakes on their popular DS family. Say hello to Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver.

A nice highlight presented in Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver is that players can sync their new game to any old Diamond, Pearl or Platinum games they have already got on the DS. This suggests players will retain all the rare and special Pokemon they tried so hard to search out on previous games. And you'll definitely want them all, as this game offers up almost twice as many gym arenas as in the past installments, expanding the game extensively.

This game is excellent fan service to all the steadfast Pokemon collectors out there, and retains some of the most effective elements from earlier titles. Classic music is included in Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver bringing back nostalgic tracks from the earliest Pokemon games, together with vast locations you may recognise but that offer new tasks.

However, Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver isn't all about rehashing old features. The graphics and audio have obviously been vastly improved since the Gameboy colour era, and Pokemon has never looked this impressive. Running on the same format as Platinum, the game impresses even more with some glorious fully animated fighting displays.

If you're even remotely a Pokemon follower, this game is good for you. It brings together all the most popular and much-loved elements of earlier installments and sprinkles a little magic in the shape of improved graphics and additional options to create an excellent experience. Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver is a definite cert for fans of the series, and is certain to get a brand new generation hooked aswell!
