Digimon pc download

I liked Tamagotchi when they came over from Japan, so it's not so much of a surprise to me that I enjoyed this monster-raising game. Digimon World takes the Tamagotchi theme and, using prerendered backgrounds and polygonal characters, makes an RPG out of it. Thrust into the world of File City, your character must save the world (naturally), using his collection of digital monsters. Anyone familiar with the Digimon roster will find all their familiar favorites here, v/hich is great for fans. Depending on how you raise, train and treat your Digimon, it may grow up to be an attentive, well-trained servant or a bratty, spoiled whiner. It's taken Bandai long enough to get Digimon World here, as this game is almost two years old, and it does show its age in terms of aesthetics, but that doesn't detract from the fun quotient at all. There are tons of Digimon to find and train, and the interface is clean and simple. It was a little slow at times, but I didn't mind the shortcomings so much because I love the character designs (like Angemon and Garurumon, and especially cute lil' Potamon) and found the theme of raising critters rewarding. The lack of analog control is unfortunate though, as the D-pad makes this a bit of a thumb-buster, but Digimaniacs certainly won't mind. Fans and other junior monster-breeders sick of Nintendo's critters will find an edgier alternative here. I find it an endearing RPG-lite.
