I'm not going to apologize if this review seems bias, because it is supposed to be my opinion, right? This game brings back so many great memories for me from when I was a child and first getting into video games. I first remember seeing it when my baby sitter used to watch me when I was like 5 or 6. I remember seeing this awesome monster thing on the screen that just kept changing its form and that blew me away!! I asked what it was and my baby sitter, without hesitation, sat me in front of the living room TV and turned on a show called Digimon. This was even before I ever saw Pokémon so I had no clue as to what was going on. She explained it to me, but my focus was on the monsters. This love stuck with me through my whole life! Some years went by before I was able to buy a PlayStation and Digimon World 1, so I was about 12. Sorry about that little story, but I had to give some history and explain why I loved it. On to the actual review!!
Graphics: 8
I'm only being honest here, the PSX didn't have the GREATEST graphics, but playing it now at the age of 23 definitely brought back the incredible era of creativity in video games when it comes to only working with so much.
Sound: 9
Definitely iconic music and sounds to me! I find myself sometimes humming the File City over world theme from time to time.
Addictiveness: 10!
It is incredibly addictive!! There are so many ways to raise your Digimon! Depending on how you raise and train them, you don't even have to follow the "real" digivolutions! It made me want to train differently every time I started over with a new In-training just to see which routes were faster to take to get to which digimon. Every time I pick up the controller, there's no setting it back down for a while. There's even bonus stuff to do AFTER Mt. Infinity!
Story: 7
There was a story, you have to save File City by raising Digimon to fight Machinedramon on Mt. Infinity. Short, sweet, and to the point.
Depth: 7
Covered this in story, as seen above.
Difficulty: 5
This game wasn't the hardest thing to play after you understand what it is you need to do, but playing simple games from time to time can be incredibly awesome!
