Fans of the series will most likely enjoy this RPG for Nintendo's handheld system, the DS. The gameplay is only slightly similar to that of Pokemon: find and "catch" over 250 Digimon and become the world's best tamer. But despite the similarites, there are plenty of interesting and fun differences that make this game stand out from Pokemon. For starters, you don't actually "catch" wild Digimon. You have to encounter them a set number of times in the wild until you've collected enough Scan Data, which you can then use to Digiconvert them into a Digimon partner. The amount of Scan Data collected during each encounter differs with each Digimon. Training is done like so: You can place Digimon into your party, and have up to six of the critters with you at one time. During battle, up to three will be involved in combat, with any extras on the sidelines as "Relief Digimon". After the battle, they earn experience points equal to the level of the Digimon fought, but what's unique is that they earn different kinds of experience based on the enemy Digimon's species. Training is also done on the Digifarm, a place similar to the boxes used in Pokemon, but with a twist. After Digimon have been converted, they can be placed in the farm along with Goods that will help them train themselves. This is especially helpful if you have a weak Digimon that you need to level up quickly. You can see what is going on in your farm on the top screen of the DS while gameplay takes place on the bottom screen. You also can visit your Digifarm. When it's time to evolve the critters, they can have a multitude of options available for them. Depending on the level your Digimon is at and the kinds of eperience they have earned, Digimon may evolve into a number of creatures. Consequently, certain Digimon have evolution requirements that must be met prior to evolving, or they can't get to that next level. You also can degrade your Digimon and make them go back a level. My only gripe thus far is that it seems too quick. After you've completed the main storyline and become the Tamer King, all that's really left to do is go back and fill in the missing gaps in your collection. There is also Multiplayer play via WFC, but it is limited to battles, Digimatching (you and a friend pair Digimon together to make new Digimon), and trading, much in the style of Pokemon. You also can't access this online area until after you've reached a certain rank in the game. All in all, this game is a nice change of pace from the typical monster catching method of throwing colorful balls at creatures. Fans of the series will also get a kick out of being able to catch and fight with their favorite character from the show.Read full review
I need lesson to learn this game! But it is cute, and it keeps me going. A little hard on the eyeys, that I need to wear glasses, but I like this little fun game.

Digimon World DS is a fun little game, with a lot of different digimon to use for your team. The game play is a little repetitive but still it’s an interesting enough game to keep you hooked! Definitely would recommend to someone looking for a game similar to Pokémon!

It's easy enough to play with just enough difficulty to pull you in. The game is good quality and worth my time. On the other hand the intro was a little confusing and overwelming, with to many instructions at once. However once you get past the tutorial it's a really enjoyable game. I would buy it again.

Being a Digimon-game fan since the age of eight, you can trust me whan I say this is a worthy follower to the earlier games. I almost love this game as much as the original Digimon World (for PlayStation One), and that's a hard thing to say... The biggest plus is the huge list of monsters you can own in the game. Certain parameters is listed in the "Digivolution Route" so that the player easy can get all the Digimon he/she wants. Another nice thing is the way to obtain new Digimon and raise them. First, you collect scan data (999% is the highest, and makes the strongest newborn Digimon) that you convert into new Digimon by "Digiconversion". You don't only raise Digimon by using them in battles. A new feauture is the "Digi Farm", where you install "Training Goods", allowing Digimon in the farm to grow while you are out battling. The only negative thing is that the main story is rather short. You complete the game pretty fast. But on the other hand, there is a bunch of more stuff to do after completing the game!Read full review
