PokŽmon Gold/Silver Preview CD

A Mac user always gets this ugly feeling when he uses a PC-Only CD. It feels clunky, foreign, and dull. But then, what do you expect for $5?

A lot more, that's what. Of the 90MB (90 megs and they couldn't put Mac compatibility on it?) or so data portion of the CD, about half is an AVI movie of the PokŽmon the Movie 2000 trailer (which isn't playable on a 2x CD-ROM). Incidentally, the majority of the material is actually related to the second movie, not Gold and Silver.

What else is there? There's wallpapers, but they're terribly made, although mostly original. Also, some short soundtracks (why not full ones?).

All-in-all, this is a shottily made product, but I know the game is better.

My score: 2.0

The Final Say: To tell the truth, you don't get much choice as to whether you get this, but don't expect to be entertained for more than 5 minutes.
