    To start out you have the Graphics, I'd give them about a 7. At the time ( This is the PS1 generation ) These were pretty nice graphics, with exceptions. As far as game play you're looking at about a 5. The game had some sick nasty looking " Digital Monsters " in it, but the gameplay was slow and boring. You select your moves, and wait 5 minutes, pop some pop corn, pass gas, go pee, and jot off a good 4 or 5 text messages. Now you repeat the process.
    As far as the Story, it racks up a 10 for bringing this one home. This game has an amazing story line for those who are patient enough to play through it.
    On it's Re-playabilty I would give it about a 9. There are 3 different team types you can choose, leading to quite different Digimon to have at your command. On top of the fact, that there are so many digimon in general, the team possibilities are outrageous.
    In length I'd give it about a 9 aswell. It's an incredibly long game if you haven't played it before, leading to hours and hours of gameplay, but it gets repetitive if you lack patience, which is what tallies a point from it. I highly reccomend this game to any old time fans, and to those who have lots of patience and don't mind hard work being put into a game.    … Expand

    What could have been an interesting concept was ruined by the tedious dungeon crawling layout, and the massive amounts of grinding ensure no one will finish this game without getting bored at least once along the way.

    Se perguntarmos a alguém que tenha jogado este jogo se é bom ou não, a resposta dele provavelmente será algo neutra.
    Mas eu tenho outra opinião e para mim este jogo até é bom.

    Mas eu tenho outra opinião e para mim este jogo até é bom.
    Talvez seja a nostalgia a falar pois enquanto muitos dos meus colegas jogavam Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas para a PS2, eu entretinha-me a jogar Digimon World 2 no meu fiel emulador.

    Foi um jogo bastante marcante na minha infância que demorou uma eternidade até acabar. Mas em poucos momentos me senti aborrecido pois o jogo torna-se bastante recompensador.

    Neste jogo podemos mesmo construir a nossa equipa de digimons do nada, algo impossível no seu antecessor onde apenas poderias ter um digimon e esse era escolhido pelo jogo.

    Aliás, Digimon World 2, para além dos digimons, não tem nada em comum com o seu antecessor. Por exemplo, no jogo até podes andar numa pequena cidade ou batalhar num coliseu mas a maior parte do jogo estarás a aceitar missões e a andar em grutas no teu digibeetle a combater bosses.

    Este processo pode parecer demasiado básico e simples, até pode parecer aborrecido.
    Mas acreditem, não é.

    O sistema de batalhas é de um RPG estratégia normal mas as digievoluções ADN
    mantêm-nos entretidos durante semanas, pois as combinações são imensas e os resultados, por vezes, são o sonho de qualquer fã da série.

    No jogo há também uma enorme necessidade de BITS, ou seja de moedas, para o teu digibeetle ou para os teus itens. O que adiciona ainda mais horas de gameplay ao jogo.

    Sem querer dar muitos mais spoilers acabo o meu closer look aqui com esta conclusão:

    Não é um jogo perfeito, mas é um jogo bastante divertido que merece ser jogado e que eu gostaria de ter tido em suporte físico.
    O jogo apenas peca na sua velocidade(é muito lento), depois também uma criança não irá perder tempo para saber como o Digi-Beetle consegue suportar mais passos e irá desistir pois não há tutoriais no jogo.    … Expand

    This PS1 game is indeed a dungeon crawler with its ups and downs. It definitely hasn't aged too well, other Digimon games have come and gone since, but that doesn't mean its a bad game.

    The best Digimon game. Greece says "To pio oraio paixnidi ton DIGIMON". I think that you made a mistake or "kanate kapoio lathos"(GREECE).

    This game is a grind. One massive, massive grind, from beginning to end. It's just way to dull.

    Second best game of the series, very tough learning curve will make impatient players go crazy with it. Digivolutions and the possibility of to have every single Digimon on the game make it Rock. Is not for everyone, but for players that are both Digimon and RPG fans.

    This game is very grindy, and if you played it on original PS1, then you would need to spend about 100+ hours to complete it.

The battle system is also very slow, the first time I played this game I just gave commands to my Digimons and went to make a tea, watched TV or did my homework.

    So why the hight score? Regardless of that horrible grind I enjoyed this as a kid. These days I replay this game on emulators using time speed up, where I can rush through battles and grind in minimum time - this elimnates the worst part of the game. It leaves you with nice monster catching and breeding system put in a dungeon crawler/rogue-like mixed gameplay.    … Expand

    It is time to stop the bleeding, end the time consuming trend of monster training games and demand something better.

    The main difference between this and Pokemon is that Pokemon doesn't suck as much. Game play in Digimon World 2 is the equivalent of a snail race.
