The graphics were great, but the plot was thin and the game to easy to beat. Reminded me of a higher quality version of the Playstation game Persona, but with better creature creation.

This is a great game

Jade cacoon is probably one of the most fun games u will ever play. Its really cool to merge the monsters and pretty hilarious also. This is a definite buy.Its really cool. You can make the monstors change shape and color and change there states by merging them, to make a super monster.

Clean, good fun!

This game provides you with a brief respite from the melodrama usually found in RPGs, in a story with more than one refreshing twist. It's the story of a boy coming of age and fulfilling his life-long dream... and taking care of his loved ones under unusual circumstances. The voice acting is very good, the music is very adequate, and you get an involving story that will make you care for the characters, much like one of Katsuya Kondoh's movies. Even if it's on the short side, the innocent fairy-tale take on the story, the subtle comedy, and the beautiful visuals should be reason enough to include this game in your library.

the best game

By far, JC is the best Playstation game I have ever played. It is my personal favorite game. I am completely in love with the Eternal Corridor. After you have beaten the game, it is accessable to you. It features all new minions that aren't featured in the original game. The storyline is OK, but where this game really shines is the graphics. This game is quite possibly the most detailed playstation game out there graphicwise. The only thing that can match it is probably the Spyro series. As you may know, the greatest feature in gameplay is the ability to merge minions into your own creations. I have one minion with the frame of a bird minion, but the skin of a turtle. It has a lot of the status ailment special attacks. Jade Cocoon is the best playstation game I have ever experienced.

REPETITIVE

At first the graphics and the whole monster transforming idea was quite intriguing... Unfortunately, every other level looked the same, too many of the monsters were too similar. The plot had little effect on your decision making and the whole psuedo spiritual theme was annoying. I beat the game in three days, and I haven't picked it up since then. You'd be better off renting it.

bleh, spiced up pokemon clone

meh, this game isn't too great as far as RPGs go, just about average. Just really a dressed up Pokemon, and when ure playing a system featuring games like Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy IX and Breath of Fire 4, this is very inferior. Really just for the fans...

An update - how very disillusioned...

Now that I've owned the game for a couple of months and beat it two or three times, I believe an update to my earlier review is in order. As you can see from the drop in the ratings from my previous review (below), Jade Cocoon doesn't make an awfully positive impression in the long term. In this update review I will center on all the negativities - if you care about the game's good sides - read the review below.

First of all there are the graphics: however much I like the color green, I don't enjoy the green of a television screen with skewed color balance. Alas, the game is full of it. Some (namely, the last five out of eight) of the levels are far too dark to either see the rather well-hidden items or take any pleasure from the pretty scenery. The graphics are not only dark - they're depressing!

Likewise, the discordant tones of music in some of the later "Netherworld" levels nearly drove me insane. Ugh.

However "unique" the monster-breeding element is, in the end you realize that pretty much all 150+ minions can be categorized into about ten species and merging them will often lead to similar and frequently uninspired results. Most combinations are simply ugly because important features like eyes and jaws are treated like skins and are frequently stretched over the parent frames with no rhyme or reason (causing eyes to look flat and out of place). There are few spells, most of them rather useless. Combat frequently contains no strategic elements whatsoever, regressing into turn-based you-hit-me-and-I'll-hit-you-back. Even the eternal corridor doesn't provide any depth for this game due to its incredible annoyance factor.

The storyline is an amazing job of starting out with a very original premise and slowly turning it into a "let's save the world", finally topping everything off with a "and it all came back to normal".

If owned for more than a couple of months, this game is a real pain. Rent it.
