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

    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

    While DCB accurately duplicates the flow and gameplay of the tabletop game, its simplicity will turn off any but the youngest of players.
  5. GamePro

    True strategy is jettisoned by unpredictable card draws that cause the matches to vacillate between frustrating and extremely boring.
  6. Electronic Gaming Monthly

    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]

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.… Full Review »

As for strategy, there is a perfect mix of luck and strategy that needs to be present in a card game. If I had one complaint, it would be the story, or basic lack thereof.… Full Review »
