Straight up owns Pokemon Diamond and Pearl in every conceivable way.
However, after the disgrace that is Pokemon Diamond and Pearl I thought "What do I have to lose?".
Well I gave this game a try and not only is it quite fun to play it's also very deep. The sheer amount of ways you can customize your Digimon blows the latest Pokejokes right out of the water.
Admittedly the story is a little silly and the main character is a bit of a pansy, but it really doesn't figure too much into the overall game too much. You'll be too busy training and evolving your Digimon to care.
If you're like me and are sick to death of the same Pokemon games that are just rolled up into different packages, you'll find a lot to like in this game.
I keep comparing this game to the Pokemon series because well...they are of course extremely similar. But in no way is this a Pokemon "clone". In fact I find it funny when people refer to games like these as "Pokemon clones", as every single Pokemon game you've ever played is a straight copy of the one that came before it!
How is that for irony?
Give this game a try, chances are you'll enjoy this if you're into this type of game.
