If your a Pokémaniac then this game is definitely for you. If you aren't that big on the whole Pokémon craze, then this is at least worth a rental. Very original and very fun to play.

Without a doubt, Pokémon Snap is a game of the highest quality and brings a new genre to the N64 … but if you hate the little creatures, we’d recommend that you give it a miss.

Tengo que decir que es el juego que me introdujo a Pokémon, le guardo muchísimo cariño, lo jugué un montón de horas, me encantaba explorar todo, descubrir nuevas rutas, tirarle manzanas a los Pokémon, tomarles fotos, fue una experiencia que me toco el alma, fue como ir a Disneyland pero muchísimo mejor, en pocas palabras es mi infancia; Y después de ver el nuevo tráiler del Pokémon snap decidí venir y puntuar a mi juego de Pokémon favorito. Lo amo mucho.

Some gamers will be quickly bored when they find out all there is to this game is snapping pictures, while others, especially younger audiences, will want to gather as many photos as possible to show their friends. Players should be warned that Pokémon Snap can be easily finished within a weekend.

It's less of a game than Pokemon Stadium to be sure, but fans of the whole phenomenon will leap right to it.

Even for non-Pokémon fanatics, this game is definitely worth a look-- if only for the strange and addictive experience of an unfolding photo-safari on a videogame console.

It's not for everyone, but for the patient type (or a raving Pokémon freak) this game could be a refreshing change of pace, and give you a few solid hours of fun.

Pokémon Snap is a poor effort on Nintendo’s part. It is completely obvious that the game was rushed in order to cash in on the Pokémon frenzy. They could have spent six more months creating some new areas and adding all the available Pokémon into it and then it would have been a much better overall game.

Most underrated Pokémon game to date. The story actually does take a while to complete and is satisfying to complete. The post game content is the cream of this crop ****'s fun to get pictures of the Pokémon and try to beat your high scores on levels , and it takes a very long time to 100% the game (without a guide obviously). The game-play is smooth and works really well with the 64 controller....unlike other titles on the 64 and the button layout is fantastic! The graphics are great and have aged really well.....unlike other titles on the 64. Do yourself a favor and pick this game up on the original hardware... It's fun at it's finest

É um jogo divertido, com fases legais e com uma jogabilidade ótima, mas o problema desse jogo não ter uma nota maior é que a camera as vezes não ajuda, e o carrinho que está te movendo pode as vezes atrapalhar, mas é um jogo bem legal

This is a pretty fun game to pop in and play for a little while. I really do enjoy it and it is a fun little time. Some of the puzzles for good pictures can be confusing, but I liked it overall.

Original concept, but the gameplay is very lacking overall. Some people find it to be a refreshing change of pace and it could be worth trying out. However, overall the game is rather mediocre.

This game has aged extremely badly. It has less than half of the original 151 Pokemon in it, and newer generations may not even get the film camera mechanics. Its original release year in 1999 was compounded by Gen 2 coming out, and digital cameras just starting to gain market traction in this time period. This game even new was starting to look dated, and feels especially dated now.
