All I would like to say, is that Digimon is a total copy of Pokémon, and the game is terrible.

POKÈMON RULES!

Not impressed....

I was not at all impressed with this game. It is just like the pokemon gameboy game but more boring.

I would not spend my money on it!

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.

ATTENTION ALL POKEMON MASTERS

Having enjoyed later episodes of the cartoon on FoxKids, I was looking forward to this game. But having actually played it, I found myself sadly let down. The game is sort of part RPG, part digital pet. You recieve one Digimon which you must "train", care for, and battle in order to save the Digital world. Raise your Digimon well and it will "digvolve" and produce an egg with its learned abilities when it passes on. While the Digimon themselves are amusing and the environments are nice, the gameplay for "Digimon" is extremely boring. The "training time" is excruciating, since the player does not actively participate at all but simply watches the Digimon move around for a few seconds. The digivolution process is baffling; my Digimon were constantly evolving into completely random Digimon which did not correlate with the chart. The egg feature mostly means that you have to return to more of the boring training before you can battle again. And did I meantion that you cannot choose which Digimon you get? Add in some of the most annoying sound effects I've heard and you have a second rate game worth no more than a rental.

I must be a Pokemon Fan..

I just believe the game itself is [not good]. Sorry... But Pokemon is and always will be so much better. I am a mom of three, who sits and plays these things with her children, and I have yet to understand the hype. My opinion, before you spend the money on the game, rent it and have your kids try it out. The real thing may be that they are crazy about Digimon (cartoon), but the game is not as great. Pokemon Snap, and Pokemon Stadium still is the best.

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.

Not as good as I thought

It is not as good as I thought it was going to be! On T.V., it looked really cool, but it isn't, in my opinion. First of all, I don't like how you view it. What I mean by that is, you don't see the game as if you were looking straight ahead and walking. On the game, you see overhead/side view of the game. I konw that sounds confusing, but I don't really know how to explain it in words.Second, the digimon keep on getting killed! They have 3 lifes, so if you loose 3 battles, then your digimon is dead, and you get a new baby digimon that you have to raise again! Third, You have to feed them, take them to the bathroom, and let them take naps/sleep! I find that it is hard to get him to the bathroom every time it has to go! Now there are some good things, like not knowing what you are it is going to digivolve into, and go to the places. The only thing that I really liked about this game were the graphics. They were awesome! This is all my opinion. But I think you should rent this game before you buy it!

Digimon World starts as a good game but the longer you play it the more frustrating it gets. Having your digimon die one after another after putting all that work in to making them the ultimate fighting machine gets really old really fast. The gameplay is alright but the sound and visuls are not very good which brings this rating down a lot. The funning conversations and the battle tournaments are good but in the end they are not good enough to boast the rank higher.
