I bought the game and the Amiibo because I’m a collector of the Pokémon games. But the biggest win was when it kept my girlfriend occupied for a few days while she solved mysteries on the 3DS.

So pikachu voice is that of a 50 year old balding cranky man. But it is a fun easy game for everyone. I grew up with pokemon. Tried this out and enjoy the game as a casual relaxing game.

My son is a huge nintendo fan and he buys every game they make, he loves this one just like he loves all their other ones. I can't really give too many details, but he is really happy with it.

I had been interested in playing this game for a while, but it was not until I saw the movie that I actually went out and bought it. Really creative gameplay and storyline. Worth picking up.

This is an awesome game. Lotsa fun for the Pokémon Collector/Trainer in your family to solve a mystery with your favorite pokemon. Also can't wait for the movie to come out!

The game is a bit on the easy side, but I think this was made for a younger audience. You won't find yourself solving murders a la Phoenix Wright, but Detective Pikachu does make the story more interesting.

This game is one of the better Pokemon spin offs, with a good story and funny characters. If you want some background on the upcoming movie, you should play this game.

Bought this for my son after we went and saw the movie. He loves it. Slightly different from the movie but same concept and could barely get him to put it down.

The game was actually interesting for some reason it was too short. If you’re a big Pokémon fan this is a definite buy. Otherwise you might be upset on how quick the game ended. Took me one day

The puzzles in the game are rather easy as this is designed for kids, yet I still found the game and story rather fun and interesting. Great for building hype for the upcoming movie.

Detective Pikachu is a lovably gruff, tough-talking pikachu. The game is a fun and engaging brain teaser and a refreshing departure from the other pokemon games.

Purchased as a gift for my son, he ripped right through the stories and puzzles. In his mind it was great, but disappointed it ended so quickly. Really engaging but you'll be wanting more.

It was a pretty good game to be honest, but the bigger surprise is the not so sound-alike Danny DeVito actor. I was excited to hear some kind or recreation of what everyone wanted
