This is mainly for those who are big fans of Digimon or monster-raising, anybody else might not find it very interesting

The game play in this game is relatively close to how you would play the "Digital Monster" virtual pet. You raise your Digimon and increase its stats to make it better, scold it when it does something it shouldn't, praise it when it does something good, and take care of its bodily needs, like giving it food, medicine, and taking it to the toilet. You raise your Digimon from where you start the game, and raise its stats as I mentioned before, in an attempt to get it to evolve into a preferably good form. You can only evolve your Digimon to a maximum of the Ultimate level, even though there are a few Mega level Digimon in the game. The Mega level Digimon that you can evolve your Digimon into are actually classified under the Ultimate category.

The battling is the part of the game that I found most intriguing and what kept my attention on the game. It's pretty basic, either you let your Digimon do all the fighting on its own, or you can give it orders to perform certain attacks, which you obtain over time while training it. You can battle a variety of Digimon that will most likely seem familiar to you if you've played the digital monster pet games or seen the TV series, like Greymon, Monzaemon, Guardromon, RedVegiemon, Meramon, and Machinedramon.

The graphics are pretty good, every Digimon looks exactly as it should, the attacks look really neat, and the pre-rendered backgrounds do a good job portraying File Island. Now that I've mentioned the pre-rendered backgrounds, I think I'll tell you about a slightly interesting thing…. Whenever your Digimon doesn't make it to the toilet, it goes exactly where it's standing, so that means you see what it leaves behind on the pre-rendered space. The sound used in this game aren't exactly all that varied, it gets VERY repetitive, it uses only one, two, or maybe three different sounds for walking, attacks, Digimon cries, and other such things. However though, some things are okay, like the music and the scolding praise sounds your character makes when you select the corresponding actions. This game doesn't have much going for it on what extras it contains and other things to draw people back to play it some more after finishing it. Sure, it continues after you've beaten the final boss and throws the Pet Digimon of that said boss at you.

I'm not sure what the price range for this game is, but it couldn't be more than $5 U.S.

Overall, this game would only appeal to you if you're looking for something a little different from most games, or you're a hardcore Digimon fan from way back when Digimon started around 1997 like I am.
