Like the first PokéPark, PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, uses actual voice acting from the anime. really did an amazing job here and I honestly think PokéPark 2 is not only one of the best looking Pokémon games ever, but one of the best looking Wii titles out there. The thing runs incredible smooth and I never had to deal with tearing or texture issues either.
I’m also happy to report that I didn’t encounter any slowdown during the battles, even when there were multiple Pokémon on the screen at once. Sure it’s not going to compete with high def games on the 360 or PS3, but it blows other first party Nintendo titles like The Skyward Sword out of the water. Interactive cartoon gaming? Yes please! Everything is wonderfully animated, backgrounds have a lot of detail and texture and the game is just gorgeous. All the Pokémon look like they were ripped directly out of the anime. PokéPark 2 looks great – especially for a Wii game. Whether you want to follow the story to its conclusion or just putz around with Pokémon battles – it’s all up to you. The sheer amount of content also prevents the game from feeling linear. Overall, the story is a cute one, but it’s also designed to intrigue Pokémon fans of all ages. There are over a dozen regions of the game to explore and you’ll sink a surprising amount of time into the game.

PokéPark 2 has a fun little story, but there are also lots of battles to be had, items to collect and the mini games now allow up to four human controlled players! The downside is that there are only four mini-games in PokéPark 2 compared to the fourteen in the original game, but I’ll take the multiplayer option any day.īesides the main story, which is pretty open ended (think an E-rated Arkham City or Grand Theft Auto, you can engage in free battles, a ten round Battle Tournament and the aforementioned Mini-Games. Pretty dark sounding storyline for a Pokémon game, isn’t it? Well, don’t worry – it’s still very much an all ages affair. This means Pikachu has to ally with new friends Tepig, Snivy and Oshawott in order to find Piplup, figure out what is behind the madness inflicting Wish Park and bring everyone within the park back to normal. Unfortunately something happens and the two Pokémon are split up. As diabetically delicious as this sounds, there’s something odd about the place so Pikachu and Piplup decide to check it out. Welcome to Wish Park! Wish Park is an odd little place just for Pokémon that is made out of cookies and candy.
So does PokéPark 2 give fans of the first game the improvements they were looking for, or is it just more of the same? I loved the premise of the original game, but wanted more playable Pokémon in combat, some better controls and the ability to play multiplayer version of all the mini-games. In fact, with the release of PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, now there are two. Sure you could only play as Pikachu, but it was a lot of fun and I still see gamers go, “Wah! When we will get action based Pokémon combat like in a fighting game or a button masher?” Well, there already is. It’s a shame too, because it was the first game to give a lot of Pokémon fans what they had been clamoring for: 3D real time Pokémon battles. Due to an utter lack of marketing by Nintendo of America, the title was one of the few Pokémon games that was overlooked, even by the core fan base. and Nintendo released PokePark Wii: Pikachu’s Adventure.
