At first I thought, hmmm... a game where you train and raise virtual monsters, AWESOME!!! Then I actually got the game and was thrilled by it. Cute monsters that you could spend hours finding by putting in random letters, symbols and letters. Then when you find a monster you like, you take it to the ranch and train it using one of around ten pre-programmed coaches. Each raises a stat in a certain area, although some also lower X stat.Then I had to turn it off for some reason (I forget exactly what). When I was ready to play it again I turned it on and hit continue. It just made a sound that sounded like a buzzer and wouldn't let me resume game play. There was ABSOLUTELY NO visible way to save. I thought it was just a one time glitch and started again. This happened again and again. Once I lost a Rank A monster because of this. If Tecmo EVER decides to release another version of this game, they should put a SAVE option! I hate starting over!!! Sometimes when you enter random codes to get a monster you get one of three 'locked monsters' that you have to beat later in the game to allow you to raise them. It makes me wonder why they even put them into the game at the beginning in the first place. My third complaint is that there are not many ways to get items there are about four, but I might be forgetting some: 1:your monster gives them to you. 2: You beat a stray monster and it drops one. 3: You pay unreasonable prices to get one from Crow, although most of the items he sells serve little/no purpose for the price. 4: You manage to win first place a once a year tournament and get a wood box, iron box, silver box or gold box. The battles take about a minute and once you start battling another monster there's no way to stop or pause the battle until you finish it. In most battle games, like Pokemon if you need to take a break to check on something you're cooking or a screaming toddler or something like that, you just leave it on the attack screen without choosing a command. In this game, you either put it down and most likely lose as your monster can't attack without you, KO the enemy (which is often hard to do) or wait to attend to whatever needs attending until the battle is over. The time frame is VERY unrealistic, I mean, would a monster REALLY take a week to run under rocks and get points in speed or understand another monster talking with odd symbols? I wouldn't mind restarting every time I played it, other than those facts, except for the fact that it takes AT LEAST five minutes to input a name for your character AND listen to a lot of pointless talking. It's interesting the first time, but honestly after having to start over twenty million times, it gets boring and annoying. If you or your child or grandchild or neice or nephew or anybody you know wants something you can take care of and nurture, I suggest a Tamagotchi. They are a lot less frustrating than this and the characters are still very cute, although they don't battle.

This game is decent.But when you get to battle there is nothing better.
Rating: - This game is cool
This game is really fun. You can make monsters, go to battles, and buy stuff. You can also put your monsters into hybernation if you don't want to use them anymore. You can only use one monster at a time. I would really buy this game and it's worth the 40 dollars. There are lots of levels and if you get an invitation for a match to get a dragon, go to the match. A code name for a dragon is lemon. :)
Rating: - Monster rancher is a good game
I'm a monster rancher fan and i have played most of the monster rancher games and his is not queit the best one. This version of monster rancher has some monsters taken out like the wheel or plants and dogs but this game is really great its replay value is great I SUGGEST to not beat this game early and dont cheat it will ruin the funness and but even if you beat the game early its replay value will kick in thats why i give this game a 10/10
GAME CONTENT Generate and raise monsters from words Train and battle Earn money and gain in rank and get permission to raise special monsters
