Nostalgia in a cartridge! - By: R. O'Mahony-Doran, 31 Dec 2007 
Fire red is a remake of the original game boy classic pokemon red with ruby & sapphires third generation game engine. But to calll it JUST a remake is a serious understatement. this game is fun, addictive & strangely heart warming as anyone who played the original games will remember going through the same story line, its also makes feel as though you were that little kid gazing at the tiny gameboy screen in your own little world.... well that's how i felt. Sure it's the exact same game but with some more pokemon to catch, better graphics & a couple of new islands but thats not the point, i bought it for the memory & at £17 or so its not bad.
Am i 8 again? - By: Jebus, 22 Jul 2007 I first got a Pokemon game, with a Gameboy Colour when i was around 8/9 as a christmas present from my uncle. I remember playing Pokemon Blue alll day, Boxing Day & i was thrilled to bits.
God only knows how many years on & here i am playing Pokemon Fire Red, & the memories are flooding back. If you have played the originals this will be very familiar to you, its the same story with the same Pokemon, just with animations & graphics similar to Pokemon Ruby, but don't let that put you off...
If you played the originals when i did, then this will seem like new to you, the music & Pokemon will make you think back. Yes, i did play the originals but i still find this quite challlenging & very compelling & addictive. To be honest, i find myself playing this more than the latest Pokemon versions, diamond & pearl.
If your a Pokemon beginner or a seasoned veteran I'd still highly recommend this very well re-make of a instant phenomenon. There is so much to do on so many levels its accessible by alll ages, whether your 8 or 38!!

The middle... - By: the other, 19 May 2007 
Its basicallly red but in ruby form...
Its new upgrades alllow you to trade with the next generation but still alllows you to follow the simliar story line of the tv series ash ketchum.
Some new differences but nothing major. Basicallly its great but not brilliant...
