The Bottom Line:

"Just plain fun"

I like how they involved the element of 'going through time' with a previous game. The start of this game seems like it was made for a player who hasn't ever reall played a pokemon title. So it makes a good game for children. There are elements of this game that make you just think, "Hurry up... I haven't got all day." Which is a total lie, you are playing Pokemon. This version of Pokemon has some value to it's exclusive Pokemon. And trading with others to complete your Pokedex is actually something to look forward to! You are given, when comepleting either Unova or National Dex, items that may help you further in the game. To be honest I know that half of the Pokemon series took what seemed like forever to get through the make story, but Black 2 just seemed to roll on by. In my opinion it was almost too fast of a story-line. But, you know it's all about being the best there ever was...
You, if you have played Black/White previously, revisit old Gyms and their respected Leaders. You fight, yet again, Team Plasma with their hypocritical ideals for world domination(?). All in all this game just makes you feel at home. From time to time you get that warm hearted feeling inside of you because you realise how much nostalgia this game has to offer when you are training new and old pokemon, walking throught an old town (old, again, if you have played Black/White previously), and battling against new and formidable characters.
