Great game if you like collecting monsters...but still it lacks some of the classic monsters.

Gameplay 8.5/10: There are plenty of places to go, monsters to get, skills to master. It's a bit a level grinder though.

Story mode 9/10: The game starts out lame but gets funner as your Incarinus transforms into it's other forms. The final battle is a bit of a shocker and allows you to obtain the final boss as a monster later in the game.

Graphics 8.5/10: The graphics are pretty good except for some pixiles that appear large when to close to an object. Monsters are done very well for example Mortamor (Deathmore 3).

Monsters 9.5/10: Monsters are really cool except for some monsters have pun names just like Spiked Hair, Jargon, See Urchin, and Eveel. Some new monsters such as Don Mole, Leopold, Khalamari, Ruin, Rhapthorne, Incarinus, and Captain Crow (the pirate from Dragon Quest). They also revive classics as Zoma, White King, Deathmore 3 ( now as Mortamor), King Squid, Estark, and of course the Slimes.
