Monster Rancher Battle Card: Episode II

"...One more fun thing about the game is that it plays like an RPG. As you progress through the game, you gain better cards and you can change and customize your decks to suit your strategy."

"All of the monster designs are simplistic, bordering on kiddy-like. Even Golems, monsters that one would think to possess even a slightly imposing appearance regardless of the game they're in, almost look cute. Golems, cute!?! That just isn’t right."

"Battle Card has implemented a superb set of, making it far deeper than just another Pokemon or Magic: The Gathering wannabe. The rules are excellent and easy to learn, yet the game takes much time to master, as good card games should."

"...like the Monster Rancher series, MRBC features a CD-based monster generation system. Since you do battle with monster cards, placing any CD (music or otherwise) in the PlayStation will earn you new, unique monster cards."

"Only the difficult setting holds any reasonable challenge for players at all familiar with the mechanics of modern collectible-card games, but even when you're dominating them, matches drag on entirely too long and take place too often."
