Product Description ------------------- Pokémon fans take notice. You can explore massive, adventurous realms with your own Digimon, or digital monster. You will interact with hundreds of characters--both good and evil--during your quest, so you will want to prepare your Digimon for non-stop battle action. By training and caring for your Digimon, you will enable it to evolve into an even more powerful creature that will lead you deeper into the digital fantasy of Digimon World. With a little work, you will be able to "digivolve" your character into a monster that will make you proud. .co.uk Review ------------- And so the latest Pocket Monsters-style game falls off the production line, with Infogrames' Digimon World giving PlayStation owners the chance to play with little critters of their own.

With Nintendo never likely to permit Pokémon to venture onto any other formats, it seems Play Station owners in need of their own Pocket Monsters have a very limited choice. As it stands, Digimon World is reasonable fun at first, and for younger, less demanding players, it has its merits. --Simon Brew P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Manufacturer's Description -------------------------- Digimon World takes the player back to the genre's Tamagotchi beginnings: rearing the little monsters, giving them praise and encouragement, testing and exercising, training them for combat, the quest ahead and, of course, using the toilet. Combat and bonus game exercises ultimately develop and 'digivolve' the Digimon, allowing the player to progress through a lavish and colourfully prerendered DigiWorld, to save it from destruction at the hand of good Digimon turned bad...
