This game is awesome : just like I expected it to be. Take the genera of PKMN (pokemon) and multiply it by infinity to the power of infinity. It is aweomse the way that you can breed and get stronger monsters. I bought it and I cna't put it down man !!

looks like a great game

If you've ever played Dragon Warrior Monsters...you'd know that that game was extremely fun. Now, Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Cobi's Journey is one of the best games for Game Boy Color I have ever purchased. Its monsters are endless and the gameplay is addictive. I would HIGHLY suggest that you get this game!!!

DWM2 is the best

I would like to start out positively. Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Cobi's journey is a must have for anyone who has played DWM before. It has a wonderfully rich plot and a great replay. If you get this, you should also get it counterpart Tara's Adventure. This game was great and I am still playing it long after I have beaten it :)

Yes, it is Worthy Sequel of Dragon Warrior Monster

Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Cobi's Journey is the sequel of Dragon Warrior Monsters for Gameboy Color. I spent 140 hours in total for the first game and that alone tells how much I was in love with the game. Trust me, I was dying to play the second one especially when I heard of its enhancements from the Dragon Warrior Monsters. So how do I feel about the game after spending about 70 hours to finish the second one? I'm very satisfied, not as much as the first one, however, very glad I did.

The obvious change from the first one is that they created two games, just like Pokemon (which I thought it wasn't necessary at all/ and I'll give you my reason why later). So what you could do is exchange certain monsters between two games for those who want to collect everything. (personally I do not like the pokemon idea when I have no one else to trade with, especially when you are in your late 20s..) The reason I didn't like having two almost identical games plot is because you need both games in order to unlock the one special stage, which gives you the access to the ultimate stage at the end although it's not necessary to finish the game. And I do not see myself playing almost same game again in order to gain that access. If they have created both game with substantial difference, not just some exclusive monsters, but with different story lines and plot, then it would be attractive enough to play the second game to gain that last access.

Ok, I do not want to give you the impression that this game isn't worth playing by giving you some of my complaint. However, this game excels great in plot from the Dragon Warrior Monsters. In Dragon Warrior Monsters, you are traveling through bunch of maze and encounter boss at the end, period. However, in the Dragon Warrior Monsters 2, which has to be the biggest enhancement from the first one, is composed of literal stories, just like Dragon Warrior games. THIS LITERALLY FELT LIKE PLAYING OLD DRAGON WARRIOR GAMES ALL OVER AGAIN WITH MY PRECIOUS MONSTERS ON THE SIDE (ok, I just sounded like Gollum from the Lord of the Rings..) Do you know how great this is??? It's like having second Christmas for those who are thirsty for more Dragon Warrior games, seriously. They have also increased the categories of monsters substantially, which added numerous monsters to the original Dragon Warrior Monsters.

You are probably thinking this game gotta be better than the first one, especially with its real story lines and more monsters, right? Well, it's not that simple, however. There's no argument that the second one is much better because of its real story lines. However, I believe the biggest difference, or sort to speak the deciding factor between two games, comes to be the combination of core of story line and the music. Although the second one has much better story line compare with the first one, where you just wander around in bunch of maze, second one does not quite provide that compelling reason for the player, or the main character in the game to pursue what he/she is pursuing ultimately. In the first game, Terry had to find his kidnapped sister, training his monsters vigorously, winning various tournaments to save his sister, ultimately gives you this THE reason for going through all that hardship. However, in the second game, Cobi goes through series of wonderful story lines in order to find this `plug', to prevent kingdom from being sunken, which was caused by this mischievous princess, whom I felt like spanking for his attitude problem. First one's story line was justified by the ending, ultimately saving Terry's sister, however, second one had very strong story content, yet weak ending with much less motivating force than the first one.
This is just my opinion; I mean who really cares about the driving force of the character, right? Well, it meant a lot to me somehow and I could somehow feel for the Terry, who's child himself yet going through all the training and hardship to find his sister. I believe that I felt that way because of the music. First one had this series of incredible music, which definitely added not only to the atmosphere but combined with the story line and creates this incredible EXPERIENCE, which becomes very satisfying/rewarding at the end. However, the combination of the story and the music in the second one does not create same level of experience despite of its excellent story and music.

The bottom line is you will buy and play this game no matter what if you've enjoyed the first one. And trust me, you will enjoy this one tremendously as well. I do not know what to tell you if you are new to the series... I would suggest that you would play the first one then move on to the second one. (and I guess you wouldn't be looking at the review in the first place if you haven't played the first one)

You know what, I think I'll play the Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Tara's Adventure to unlock the ultimate stage on the second thought; Writing this review convinced me that it's definitely worth playing, AGAIN.

Enjoy them.

This is my favorite game. It is the same style as Pokemon but so much more entertaining. You can enter tournaments, breed, and explore a variety of worlds. Tip: If you own Tara's adventure these two games are really the same thing.

Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 Reveiw

This game rocks personally I think that DWM1 wasn't that good but if their going to add over 100 monsters and another monster class I think it would be the greatest game ever (2nd being DW3)

Still short of Pokemon, but provides many, many hours of fun

Get a really big notebook for this one. Breeding monsters is the name of the game here and you need to start planning early. Basicly, you are trying to find something to plug up a hole in the island of GreatLog before it sinks. This involves travelling through five different worlds with a team of three monsters(they actually follow you and it's so cute). Other monsters are stored on your Dad's ranch. The quest itself doesn't take much time, but even after it's over there's still much to do to prove yourself as the greatest monster trainer in GreatLog. Many monsters can't be caught and have to be bred from other monsters and it's really hard to catch duplicates, so make your plans early. Catching monsters is done by feeding them meat until they become friendly. Unfortunately, money and meat aren't easy to come by and there's no way to tell when you've given them enough. They also don't tell you the gender of the monster until you've caught it. You can change the gender of an egg before hatching it, which is useful. Saving is only allowed in towns and buildings (not dungeons) and in GreatLog, which is a pain. When you breed monsters you get the egg, but the original monsters leave forever, so you can't get too attached. One cool thing is that you don't usually choose which moves your monsters use in battle (in the colessium you can't at all). You have to trust your monsters to make the right decisions on their own and the more training they have, the better they do. You also have to take their personalities and wildness levels into account when planning your battle strategy. Basicly, if you're looking for an in depth RPG, move on, but if you want a serious monster breeding and training simulator, look no further. And get the Prima guide, it has all the monster and breeding info you really need for this game.
