8.0
And not a newspaper in sight

7.7
The refined battling is great, but returning fans will likely find the experience a little too familiar.

7.5
What it lacks in originality, Pokemon Black more than makes up for with a vast world to explore and an absorbing battle system that's heaps of fun.

9.0
If it aint Brokemon, don't fix it.

8.8
Game Freak Revitalizes A Beloved Franchise
