Digimon World: Dusk Critic Reviews

If you're looking for monster RPG different than Pokemon this is your game. Just don't expect it to be as good as Pokemon, despite the cooler looking evolved monsters.

The battle system is well-implemented and interesting.

Give this one a chance, especially if you're into this unique brand of games. If you were surprised by the quality of the new Pokémon games, or if you're a long-time Digimon fan, this might be a game worth playing.

It feels more like an expansion pack or parallel game than a true sequel. There are a ton of Digimon to collect, it's just unfortunate that players are forced to progress through a fetch-quest storyline.

This is a pity, as Digimon: Dusk has really taken the genre in new directions and done things I only wish Pokemon and other games like it would do. Some call Digimon an imitation. I call it an evolution of the genre.

Sure, the story isn't high-concept, but this gameplay is really all about fighting and collecting increasingly mean and exotic critters. And on that level, Digimon World Dusk/Dawn delivers in spades.

The online trading will allow you access to Digimon in both the Dusk and Dawn version. If you're a fan, expect a lot of game.

Series fans'll eat it up , but others may want to contemplate whether learning the Digiropes is something they're really willing to invest in.

While this game attempts to break new ground, it failed to hold our interest.

Digimon fans will find the multiplayer worthwhile, but the dull story mode is basically just a rehashing of the previous Digimon World.
