Set off on a thrilling 3D adventure that takes you to places the Pok~mon franchise has never gone before. Pok~mon Y travels to the breathtaking land of Kalos, a star-shaped, enchanting region brimming with stunning forests, buzzing cities and many brand-new Pok~mon. Gaze upon the wonder of the iconic tower in the center of Lumiose City, as you battle, catch and add to your Pok~dex an array of new Pok~mon that join the 640 you've already encountered. The Trainer is only as good as his Pok~mon, so get ready to fight for glory with the powerful new creatures at your fingertips in Pok~mon Y.Meet Helioptile, a Normal- and Electric-type Pok~mon who can generate powerful electricity from sun-bathing to power machinery. While it may display a lack of bravery, its robust Parabolic Charge move makes up for it when Helioptile attacks everything around it. Its HP is restored by half the damage taken by those hit for a significant addition to your Pok~dex. Fletchling, a Normal- and Flying-type Pok~mon, may take adversaries by surprise, since behind its beautiful chirp and friendly personality lies relentless battle attacks, such as Flame Charge. In addition to doing damage, Fletchling's speed increases every time it unleashes this move. Normally sporting a leaf in its mouth and an intimidating glare, Fighting-type Pok~mon Pancham shows its softer side and lets out a smile when you pat its head. During battle, however, Pancham lets loose daunting moves, including Parting Shot, which not only lowers an opponent's Attack and Special Attack, but also allows Pancham to switch out for another Pok~mon in a Trainer's party during battle. Discover a new method of transportation with Gogoat, a large Grass-type Pok~mon who will gladly let you ride its back around Lumiose City. In battle, its Horn Leech move recovers HP equal to half the damage dealt by its move. With so much to explore and so many new Pok~mon to acquire, you're sure to happily spend hours lost within the world of Pok~mon Y.

It's pokemon. The same old game with some new twists. This time battles are in 3d and you have a ton of minigames to increase your bond with pokemon and make them stronger. It's a great return for veterans that left the series and a great jumping point for newbies.

The special ops takes some skill they aren't straight forward easy. They do raise the skill level of the players and they are pretty fun. I would warm up to the game playing the spec ops. You can play them 2 players which is fun for 2 players on the same XBox 360.
Multiplayer is good but you are limited to 8 players per team. If you are a legacy player from the years past this might sound bad but on the XBox; who gives. The graphics are awesome and on HD 720 or 1080 is still awesome.
For game play, stealth and patience is rewarded. Sneak around! This is not Halo brazen gung ho tactics will only get you sliced. So have fun!
What's great about it: Great Spec. Ops & Excellent Multiplayer via XBL
What's not so great: Can't Play 2 players on XBL on the same XBox360
