I like the Monster Rancher games, although I thought the TV show was queer.

Oh ya and for those who don't know...this isnt a Pokemon wannabe type of thing.

Hmmm...never heard of this before....
any info on it?

Actually, I liked the TV show... B) it wuz cool...or, at least it became cool around midway, when they were through with the mushy-fellings-kids stuff and got more into the action/drama part of the storyline <_< . I just didn't know they had made a game... :blink:

Well, basically the MR games are raisng sims in which you raise your monster that you produced from whats called the "shrine" by using CD/DVDs(MR1-4) or by passwords(MR advanced, advanced2), competing them in tournaments or bringing them on expeditions to remote sites.


Basically you raise it like you would a virtual pet from the day of its birth till the day of its death(ya, sadly they die by age, constant K-O's or by abuse, except in Monster Rancher 4, MR Advanced and Advanced 2 which they wont let you use the monster anymore if it gets too old). You can pit it in combat which is nothing like Pokemon or something. Its actually very creative.

I recomend starting out w/MR advanced games or MR3, unless you know someone who is selling their MR1 or 2 because there are very few copies left in the world of those.

P.S like I said before, in MR 1-4 you put in any disc and it will give you a monster and I mean every disc. I personally only own the MR advanced games but tommorow my friend is gunna give me his MR2 and I just need 98 more dollars and thirty-seven cents to buy a PS2, MR3-4. I like the MR games because there is literally no end to this game and its just fun. You really get into it after a while. :)
