  1. If you don't value your time to any great extent besides playing video games, give this gem a try. If it hooks you, it hooks you big time!

    An incredibly original title that also happens to be a barrel of fun.
  3. A superb game. There is really nothing like it on any platform. With an infinite replay value and immersing gameplay, it keeps you coming back for more and more.
  4. You'll actually feel a loss if (and when) your star monster passes on. You might start to relate better to your monster than to actual people.
  5. Make weird customizable beasts, then let them kill each other. [Jan 2004, p.188]

    I remember this game when I was younger, I don't understand why it got a bad review unless it is being rated against the games today. This is an amazing game where you train and raise a monster of your own that ages and does pass on. Great for the date it was released and still is a great game today. Full Review »
