Monster Rancher 2

"...increased speed... you'll still need to track down specific music CDs and games... the fighting dynamics are unchanged..."

"...an engaging game experience... manages to offer an impressive variety in their statistics and physical appearance... gameplay aspects that could still use some tweaking are some of the interfaces and the control during the minigames..."

"...most areas are just adequate... The graphics are good... perhaps the most engrossing game of the year.. one of the most ingenious and addictive features... it never really gets old... still a very fun game..."

"Raising a monster is now more complex... the battle competitions are more balanced... Visually, the game looks very good... does what every sequel should..."

"...Monster Rancher is no rip-off... The monsters show a lot more emotion and demonstrate far more animations than in the previous game... a wider range of interactions... Battles are the same as in the first game... loading times are improved..."
