This game is quite long and involved with a lot more rp in it than you'd expect from something like this. Besure that when you get this you get a walkthrough from one of those walkthrough sites before you begin play but otherwise go and have fun. If your as much of a digimon enthusiast as I am you won't mind the small amount of prep work that needs doing to get your digimon up and running with the big boys so to speak. Make sure you have two memory cards so you and your friends can battle your digimon in the special battle area at the begining.
Pretty Cool

You mission bring the Digimon back to File City, problem, most of the Digimon FORGOT about the city and have gone wild. You have to train and fight your Digimon so that you can get to different areas and Digimon
There are a good variety of Digimon and your Digimon won't digivolve the way it does in the show. I liked the game alot, but in many ways it's like a glorified tamagotchi. But it was still fun
Digimon: Fun to play

Digimon was a great game to play if you like raising animals, training them, and taking them into battle. I loved the Digimon worlds that you explore, the stories that you encounter, and building File City.
However, some things about the game are really annoying, like having to raise a whole chart of Digimon, trying to get medals, and Digimon fading away and you have to train a new one. There is no way you could raise a whole chart of Digimon before you defeat the game. After the game is over you can go back and raise more Digimon, but there would be nothing else to do other than fighting other Digimon and earning medals. Digimon know when you are about to get to finishing a level and that's when they decide to fade away...either that or it seems so. It takes around 15 days to train a Digimon to be strong enough to fend for his own.
If you love adventure games and want to play the game as it is, I recommend it. You can always get game shark cheats to cover the annoying formalities.
Best game on PS1

I have to say this is the best game on the PS. I am SICK off thouse reviews saying " its to slow", " My digimon keeps on dieing in 3 battles." Well this is't one of thouse games with just some quick action... You have to build your charactor up in this game. You can't just start the game and expect instant action... You gotta train at green gym and then go out and kill stuff. The graphics are gorgus for the PS1. The sound I accualy liked, the music from bettle island in the day was nice :). Anyways once you get a champeon then the game is great,
The story is awsome. And I think think the game never ends :). This is much better than digimon world 2 & 3. Because you accualy RAISE a dude, not just start with dudes and kill. The only things I did't like was the potty trips ( They where tooooo often) and the time between attacks in the battle. I hate when i have a big old powerful attack and the enemy does a stupid little attack that stops mine... I think they should of took out the MP in this game ( How does a waterfall increase your magic points???) The MPs limited the coolness in the long battles.
Overall if you like a game that you can play for a long time.. and has a semi slow start and a nice pace after that BUY THIS
BUY THIS GAME. IT IS GREAT!@!!!!!
It's......ok......

All digimon fans out there rejoiced when this game came out, and so, so many were disappointed. Why? Lets see Holy Highlighter's standard breakdown:
GRAPHICS: 2/10 - This game SORELY lacks, by any standards. While I wasn't expecting it to rival high-end RPGs by high-end companies like Sony, Konami, and Square, this game's graphics are remniscent of the earliest playstation games, and I thought developers had moved far beyond this. Blah! Blah! At least the FMV is decent.
SOUND: 1/10 - Ok, the sound quality is just God awful. That, and the digimon sounds are really damn annoying, like the fact that a blaringly ugly sound is made every time a legless digimon "hops". You would think that since this game would only become popular due to the TV show that they might have included the theme song...but no, of course not!
CHARACTERS: 5/10 - The characters are decently developed, I suppose, and reflect the typical air-headed attitude of the TV show. The biggest gripe of most gamers is that none of the TV characters make an appearance! What's the point of having a Digimon game without any of the characters from the show? Another fatal misstep on the part of the designers - most of the awesomely cool, powerful digimon from the show never show up. There is also very little control over which digimon your basic digimon evolves into, which annoys me greatly. The other annoying aspect is that every 2 hours of gameplay or so, your digimon dies and you have to start the process all...over...again.
PLOT/STORYLINE: 2/10 - There isn't one. That's all there is to say - the whole "lets bring digimon back to file city" crap is not plot, it's a pathetic excuse. 99% of the actions of the digimon do not revolve around the plot.
SYSTEM/INTERFACE: 3/10 - The battle system is unique, which is the only plus this game has. In order to make your digimon even close to usable, you have to play an assortment of "minigames", where you walk up to a sign, press a button, and lo-and-behold, your digimon gains stats. At first, I thought that letting the digimon participate longer in this game would make them gain more stat points - but it doesn't matter, so basically more mindless button mashing is all that this thing does for you. Battling is 99% of the game, and it gets boring relatively fast, especially since every 10 seconds or so you have to feed/clean up/immunize/rest your digimon. Even tamagotchi aren't this needy!
But there must be a positive thing somewhere, right? Well, yes, the game is amusing for about an hour, before you realize that it's just repetetive and doesn't pass off as an RPG, or an action game, or anything else for that matter.
UNEXPECTED

I thought this game was going to be better!It's good but they don't Digivolve into how they are supposed to be and it's hard but it's good.

I was definently expecting more from Digimon.They made they game too stupid.I mean they didn't even look,sound,or "digivolve"
realisticly.I've been hyped on Digimon since 3rd grade.
But if you ask me I think you should get something like:Digimon World 3 or Gundam Battle Asult 1 and 2.So thanks for listening.
And if you want more of my oppinions visit Kashhu.com or pojo.com
See Ya There!

Unlike the other reviews, i was very disappointed with the game. I was very excited the the game game out. Love the cartoon series. I made the mistake of purchasing it before testing it on a rental. I thought it moved too slowly and the battles with other digimon was unstimulating. The only good thing i can say about the game are the graphics are excellent and the sound FX are okay. Rent this game if you can before you purchase it - just in case you do'nt like it.
