lacking battle controlSeptember 24, 2008 Nicholas S. Bloomfield 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
the game itself is fun.i do however think its a back step from dawn and dusk.There is only 200 digimon and that really isnt that many to choose from and also training gets really tedious and boring.also u dont even get to control your digimon in battle so thats kinda a drag.all in all if u like digimon get it and it'll take a up a good week if u got nothin goin on but if your that big of a fan id say wait til the next game comes out.
Rope it, tag it, bag it.August 28, 2008 Patricia D. McCoy(Xenia, Ohio United States) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Anyone picking this up expecting a sequel to Digimon World: Dawn or Dusk is in for a major disappointment. I'll start on that in a minute, for the unenlightened there have been six Digimon World's to date. All combine elements of RPG's with monster raising, usually with an overarching plot.
With DW: World Championship don't expect any of those things. There's no exploring, to hunt monsters you select an area on the map and get transported to a place with a few little digimon running around. you either set traps, then circle them with the stylus and drag them to capture. Yep, you lasso them and bag them, it's as boring as it sounds.
Your farm consists of a hexagonal board where you drop "cages" that have different abilities for training. To use a cage you pick up a digimon and drop him in the cage. That's it. Your digimon will digivolve but you don't know what it'll turn into. After a while it will get nice and strong and then guess what? It'll turn back into an egg and you get to start over again!
battling is entirely automatic. You do nothing but watch your team run around idiotically like a group of chickens with their heads cut off. You'll find yourself horribly frustrated to the point of cussing in a matter of minutes.
The whole thing is a step backwards for the series and if you've never played a Digimon World before than I would suggest picking up Dawn or Dusk first. If you're accustomed to games like Monster Rancher where there is little to do but train and battle then this is right up your alley.
