The familiar graphics, interface and gameplay don't add anything to the series, but if you're looking for a way to raise monsters on the go, it certainly fits the bill.
-
Game InformerOne heck of a game. [Feb 2002, p.100]
-
Those already converted to the unique sport of monster breeding will find Monster Rancher Advance to be a fine continuation of the PlayStation series that translates very well to the Game Boy Advance.
-
An inexplicably rewarding, utterly bizarre, and impossible-to-put-down battery-sucking gem that feels like it was born to live on the Game Boy Advance.
-
A very shallow game, but there's just something about it that keeps you going. I really felt compelled to work my monster WAY up the ranks, to see what new creatures I could unlock next.
-
A thoroughly addicting experience unique to the Game Boy Advance that can be enjoyed by die-hard fans of the series and newcomers alike.
-
Looks good, has plenty of tactical depth.
-
If the training consisted of entertaining mini-games, then it might not have been such a big problem. But the training is so basic that the computer might as well do the training itself. Oh, wait, I forgot -- it does!
-
Absolutely nothing we haven’t seen before.
-
Offers nothing new to the series and seems a little less fun than previous versions.
-
Nintendo PowerWith rich graphics, fun combat and personalized possibilities, MRA is monstrous fun. [Dec 2001, p.172]
