    I just had to review this game, I love it, but it has some major ups and downs.
    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.

    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

    This game is the best, but what I don't like is that is too slow.

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

    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. It has some fun aspects, like combining two digimons to create one stronger one, but at a lower level (that's where the grind comes in). 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 aThis 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

    Horas y horas de mi infancia en las mazmorras, fusionando digimones y creando al definitivo. Muchas combinaciones y evoluciones diferentes. Juego incomprendido en occidente

    It's actually a fun game once you get over the shock of how far it deviates from Digimon World 1 and the fact that the stories are not tied together at all.

    Digivolution system is cool with the additional of DNA digivolution.

    It's a fun video game but takes a step down from the original Digimon World.    … 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.

    Essentially a dull dungeon crawl.
