Digimon World Dusk  

 

The WMG has gotten the honor of playing and reviewing the first Digimon video game covered by Family Friendly Gaming. Digimon stands for Digital Monsters, and a lot of comparisons can be made to Pokemon (Pocket Monsters). Each time the trainer (editor: aka player) fights a digimon they scan said digimon. Once that scan reaches 100% or higher, the tamer can go back to their home and use a computer to create a version of that digimon that will obey them. The storyline revolves around a dark force that invades the city and de-evolves the digimon to eggs and earlier versions of themselves.

The WMG is used to how cuddly and friendly looking many of the Pokemon are. Digimon are not so cuddly. Many of them look like monsters, and a few remind the WMG of what a demon would look like. The presentation of the battle screen on the Nintendo DS is exceptional. There is role playing game violence as the tamer gives the command, and then a representation of the attack appears on top of the digimon being attacked.

Namco Bandai generally does a good job with the musical content in their video games. Digimon World Dusk is yet another one of their games with excellent music. The special effects sounds fit into the content of this game nicely. There is some minor name calling, and crude humor found within this game.

Digimon World Dusk along with Digimon World Dawn house over 350 total digimon. Tamers will spend months playing this game if they want to try and get the entire library. There are plenty of items to collect, a farm to build, and quests to go on.

Digimon World Dusk has a similar layout to the Megaman Battle Network in terms of walking around towns, and dungeons. The 45 degree angle layout caused the WMG hardship on more than one occasion. The touch screen portions of this game work exactly as they should. The battle screen layout works the way it should in the three on five grid.

The digimon are all digital so why evolution is used instead of upgrades makes no sense to the WMG. There is a lot of helping others and stopping evil in Digimon World Dusk. Many of the Family Friendly Gaming readers are going to find a problem with the theory of evolution being proselytized. Another issue is the usage of monsters to fight for the player. The WMG was surprised to see exactly how hideous many of the monsters are in this game. Friendship with things that look dark, and use dark powers bothers this reviewer on so many levels.
