Review!!
Take a peek at Pikachu!
It's the first ever Pokémon adventure for the Wii, as Pikachu saves the PokéPark from disaster...with a little help from his friends!What's the story?
The PokéPark was once protected by the Sky Prism, but now it's been shattered (ooh, clumsy) and it's up to Pikachu to put things right. Luckily, you're in direct control of the little critter and can explore the park, finding Pokémon pals to talk to and mini-game challenges to play.
Don't pick up this game expecting a Pokémon game like HeartGold or SoulSilver. Pikachu's Adventure is really just a collection of minigames tied together with a rather boring story. They're not even very interesting minigames - most are really easy and don't offer much chance for you to face tougher challenges later.
Among the challenges you'll be expected to beat are Rhyperior’s Bumper Burn, in which you have to try to push opponent Pokémon off the stage, and Bulbasaur’s Daring Dash, a Pokémon footrace! There's also the high-flying action of Salamence’s Air Ace and Venusaur’s Vine Swing. Finally, if you fancy a dip, why not try Gyarados’ Aqua Dash?
Control is also a bit annoying, as you steer Pikachu around the park using the d-pad on the remote instead of the nunchuk joystick. Meeting all the other Pokémon would be fun, but you'll probably have had more exciting encounters with them in the DS games. All in all, PokéPark is more suitable for very little brothers and sisters, so unless you're desperate for some new Pikachu action you're better off sticking with the proper Pokémon games.
PokéPark Wii is pretty disappointing. The Wii is crying out for a proper Pokémon game, where you can capture and train the little critters just like on the DS, and these simple mini-games just aren't enough. There are better minigames, and better Pokémon games, to spend your money on.

I love the graphics and the characters. The theme park is fantastic. I love Pikachu this is really wicked.
The graphics are awesome and I hope the game has puzzles and fighting. I wish it was really difficult. I reckon this game is easy.
