    Digimon and card battle fans will find a comprehensive game in DCB, but non-fans could be turned off by the digital world.
  2. GameShark

    A surprisingly simple game lies beneath these convulted rules and great graphics, which is a shame because this is the first Digimon game to do justice to the cartoon.
  3. GameSpot
    51
    While DCB accurately duplicates the flow and gameplay of the tabletop game, its simplicity will turn off any but the youngest of players.
  4. GamePro
    50
    True strategy is jettisoned by unpredictable card draws that cause the matches to vacillate between frustrating and extremely boring.
  5. Electronic Gaming Monthly
    35
    The cold, hard truth is that unless digi-fans…existed, most would not care two digi-bits about DDCB after playing two digi-seconds. [Oct 2001, p.156]

    The ratings from the critics do not do justice to the game itself. The game is great with tons of options and hours of gameplay.

    I play this game at least once every year since I first played it in 2004. No other games have better replayability than this one. You don'tI play this game at least once every year since I first played it in 2004. No other games have better replayability than this one. You don't need to have any prior Digimon-related knowledge to enjoy this game. One of the best games on the PS1 for me. The critic reviews are laughable, no wonder they don't even exist today.… Expand

    I've played DDCB since my parents rented it for me at Blockbuster back in 2002.

    This is an excellent game that I think some people    I've played DDCB since my parents rented it for me at Blockbuster back in 2002.

    This is an excellent game that I think some people overlook.
    The rock, paper, scissors like battle system is something that has a good amount of complexity when you take abilities & in-hand card effects into consideration.

    I come back to this game pretty much once every year to re-enjoy the gameplay. I also have the OST downloaded on my phone & listen to it at least once a day.

    Nobody can tell me that Battle Cafe Phase - 1 isn't a straight up feel good song to just put on to raise your mood!    … Expand
