    The best that can be said about Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX is that it’s an interesting time capsule, a snapshot of how different monster-catching games could get at the turn of the millennium. Unfortunately, stripped of its most interesting mechanic and lazily dropped onto PC as an almost entirely unaltered mobile game, a snapshot of the past is all most players will want from this. There’s only so far that nostalgia can drive players, and this is more likely to poison memories than spark fond remembrances.

    Woah so much fun and addictive! I couldn't put down the game for months. We all need the revival of new Monster Rancher games in the future!
