Amazon.com Review

Digimon World 2 is a sequel to the original monster-training title, but this one is much more like a traditional role-playing game. It still retains the capture-the-monsters spirit, however, of the original Digimon World, which makes it a fun PlayStation alternative to Nintendo's 300-pound pocket gorilla known as Pokémon.

In the game, wild Digimon are attacking the city, and you've been drafted to join the guards to fight, capture, and "digivolve" them. You're armed with a nifty creature vehicle called a Digi-Beetle, and you'll adventure through several midsize dungeons looking for, subduing, and ultimately capturing rampaging Digimon creatures. After you get them, you can trade them or merge them with your Digi-Beetle to give yourself new powers and abilities. For example, such a merging might increase your defense or attack power so you can explore more dungeons and capture more Digi-monsters. There is a paper-thin quest and story to unravel, but it's the new powers and abilities that'll keep you playing.

Perhaps the worst of the rampaging monsters this game offers is the curse of sameness. There are 30 dungeons and you'll face hordes of monsters, but the variety wears thin because the dungeons all look alike. Another problem is that the graphics are muddy and fail to fully capitalize on the aging PlayStation's capabilities. Fortunately, fans will still enjoy taming and capturing the creatures. --Andrew S. Bub

Pros:

• 30 dungeons to explore
• Hordes of creatures to tame
• Upgrading your Digi-Beetle is fun

Cons:

• The graphics aren't so good
• The dungeons suffer from sameness

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, April 2, 2001

By	Daniel (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Digimon World 2 is so good I love it. It is so much better than Digimon World 1. In Digimon World 2 you do not need to worry about feeding your digimon or any of that. There are a lot more digimon than in the first and some of the digimons digivolutions are like the ones in the show. Instead being able to do anything you want like in the first game it is more controlled and more like a RPG. When you first start out you have Triceramon, Megaseadramon and Lillymon for your first quest. Then you get to pick a digimon of your choose by going to a different HQ like for Demi Devimon(The one I got) you go to Black Sword HQ, for Patamon you go to Blue Falcon HQ and for Agumon you go to Silver Cross HQ. And one of the many good things about this game is that you get to capture digimon. Thanks for hearing what I have to say.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Sequel to Digimon World, April 10, 2001

A Kid's Review

I am a 12 year old video game freak, and this is one of the best games I have played. Unlike DW1, you do not need to worry about feeding you digimon or taking them to the toilet. Plus, they never die and just continue to evolve and get stronger. The game takes place in the future, when people actually live in the digi world. You are a boy trying to become the ultimate trainer. After the tutorial like thing (you get to use Lillymon, MegaSeadramon and Triceramon fo it), you get either Patamon, Agumon or Demidevimon to start. You then must complete dungeons (really just big mazes with digimon in them) to defeat the evil forces. You also get a really cool car/tank vehicle called a digi-beatle, which you travel in. This a a game for anyone who likes Pokemon and RPG's.

5.0 out of 5 stars They made it right, June 18, 2001

A Kid's Review

Digimon world 1 was confusing and hard you couldnt get the digimon you wanted like greymon. You would have to have outstanding stats just to to get the second best digimon. But on digimon world 2 agumon can only digivolve to greymon. But now you can go mega so you can get wargreymon or omnimon( the fusesd version of metalgarumon and wargreymon). You dont have to wait for your digimon to digivolve(but you have to train it like pokemon). your digimon doesnt digivolve in the middle of your game. You can pick a team to be on and get your favorite heros and villians. This games has nothing to do with the first game because the first one was about the keychain while in this one your a guard. I dont know why they even brought the first one here so this is the best game to get if your into digimon. ps you can get the digimon from the show. And you can dna digivolve your digimon into a new rookie digimon so it can become a new champion and ultimate and so on. plus you can capture digimon and use 3 of them ata time.
