During one of my periods of unemployment and with far too much time on my hands I became re-addicted to one of my childhood favourites. I did actually write this review then but somewhere along the lines it got lost in one of my many, many notebooks and it's only re-surfaced now. Before I start this review I must point out that this game was first released in 1997, which would have made me about nine years old when we first got the game.

Now I'm 15. I don't like the Pokemon craze, and Digimon gets on my nerves. When my 12 year old brother picked Monster Rancher up, I didn't really care. But, after watching him play, I thought "hey, this looks kinda cool." So I had a go. And it really is kinda cool! And now I sound like a 12-year old. So let me tell you about the game. Monster Rancher is a bit like Pokemon. You get monsters from Disc Stones (CDs), then train them before entering them into tournaments, in which you can win money and items. Now it all sounds maybe a bit simple, and after a while, it is. But you can become quite attached to your monster, it ... Read the complete review
