Monster Rancher 4

"Monster Rancher 4 will please fans of the series, but won't do much for players unfamiliar with the previous games."

"...plenty of games, CDs, and DVDs are being coded into the game for it to recognize so it can generate special monsters. The game seems to successfully fuse old and new Monster Rancher ideas into a whole that should please fans and bring an appealing new dimension to the series."

"With many of the game's improved aspects already apparent, and plenty of unexplored features staring us in the face (an alternate story mode, user stat tracking, and the improved graphics engine to name but a few), it has quickly jumped up a few notches on our wanted lists."

"...Monster Rancher 4 isn't for every gamer out there anyway. But rather, it's the perfect fodder for the Pokemon and Magic Pengel crowd looking for the next step in the hardened world of battle games."
