I would have given this 5 stars but.... It has no way to breed the Monsters together like you could in the first two games.
I love the new faster battles you seem to have much more control and the Graphics are almost perfect almost like you are watching a cartoon. (about fighting monsters) the only other thing I missed was not being able to bring monsters you had raised from the first two games over since the ps2 games can't access the ps1 card. I do like this very much though.

Best game ever!

I love this series. I was kind of dissapointed when they left out my favorite monster(Monol). But, I love the Pokorins! They are cute and everything you could want. That is the whole formula that makes this game a sucess. Memorable monsters. Everyone I know who has played this game has their favorite. Mine is Pokorin, one of my friend's is those bird men(the names escape me right now), another one's is dragon. This game is SO GREAT! I bought it in september, and I have played it almost every night to The begining of december. I am probably gonna pick it up again the day after Christmas. The reason, and there is ONLY 1!, that I put it down was that I thought I would get sick of it. Get off your butt, grab your wallet/purse, grab your car keys, get in the car, go to your nearest Video game dealer, buy MR3, go home, pop it in your PS2, play it, and do this all... NOW!!!

Its all right.

This game is a never ending game with no real ending to it. Some monsters look really cool and others don't. My favorite is the dragons. I got one. You can play this game forever and you really won't "beat it". Its a great game for those who like to train animals or monsters. The best thing is that you can put CD's and DVD's in and you get a monster out of it. You can also compete with your monster in tournaments. When your monster dies, you can just get another one. Overall, its pretty good and those who liked the Game Boy Pokemon games will probably like this.

Not the best Monster Rancher yet

Let me first say that this game is great. It has a lot of new features that will keep you going for a while. The look of the game is a bit different from the other two but it adds a new flavor to it none the less. It does seem there are a lot less monsters in this version than in Monster Rancher 2 which I do not like. I do give it credit though for creating some new designs on some old monsters and coming up with some new ones as well. The game play is basically the same except now you're handicapped with a limited amount of moves you can perform in battles, this alone is a very disappointing change to the game.
Only having four moves makes you think which ones are worth wild and you have to have a good strategy when entering battles now.
Another change is the no skills required theme which is good and bad at some points in the game. The fact that you have one less skill to worry about is good, but not really being able to hit an opponent stinks. When you play the game you'll see what I mean.
I also don't like the fact that you can't combine monsters like in the previous two games,that is also a down side to the game.
If you can get past the lack of monsters and the no combining factor then you will really enjoy this game.
I bought it and I have fun playing it. In the end that's all that really matters...right? So if you liked either of the previous two Monster Ranchers then you will like this one too.

Great Game!!!!!

This game is awsome! It's got everything in one!!! A bit of rpg in venture, lods of strategy, it's go the action in the battles, and there's constant adventure. The only reason I gave this game 4* instead of 5* is because the game is repetitive. Not too much but not too little.
E.G.
The attacks always show the same movement, same with the training session. but you get to chose from 5 different continents to train on and you can move from 1 continent to another.
So rent before you by because there are some people who simply hate these types of games.(very few I hope, I loved it!)

This game is great. It is very interactive. You can do tons of stuff. For example you can get new monsters, train your monsters, and feed your monsters. Also there are special training courses. One is underwater and if you train there enough your monster will grow fins!

This is a great Game. The Replay value is great because you can customize your monsters with accesories and the way that you train them determines their abilities. Here's the deal: You start out by choosing amonster, you train it and fight it all over the place and get money to buy stuff to help you get better so you can win a tournament and get more famous. when your monster gets too old it slows down in its training and then it dies and leaves you with its 'heart' which your next monster eats and it makes him stronger. Play until you want to because the game never ends.

Very, very cool

If you have ever played pokemon or digimon and hated it, this game will definately change your mind about monster-breeding. Unlike pokemon, the idea for staying in one spot and training and battling one monster at a time is way better. You take a monster, ethier from a household CD or DVD, or from collecting disc pieces in the game and getting a monster, then you take it home and give it training excersises. It soon will become strong and loyal enough to put it in battle with another monster. It will ethier win or lose, and ethier way you gain stats of experience. If it wins, you take home a trophy, money, and be able to compete in a tournament of a higher level. If you lose, well, let's just say your monster needs more training.
I'd say that this game has awesome graphics, very good gameplay, and a decent addiction level. The only problem is that some of the songs can get really annoying.

This game is amazing! There are 5 areas,Brilla,Takrama,Morax,Goat Ocean, and Kalagari.You start at the shrine where you have a lot of blabbering. You enter your name and gender, and Grandpa Bragma refuses to give you a monster. You walk away and meet Flarea who blackmails Grandpa Bragma into giving you a monster. Then you choose wheather to have a premade monster (Zoom, Hare, or Mooci), or use a disc. Then some stuff happens and either a monster apears or Grandpa Bragma tells you that that monster is too strong and you have to try again. After you have a monster ,you go to Morax. A girl will come and you will battle.After battleing , Grandpa Bragma comes and gives you a mask. You start training and your monster's stats go up .A monster's training takes 1 week.You can watch the training. At the beginning of each month you feed you monster. You also can participate in battles or "Light of Earth". 4 times a year there is a Tokichin Festa, a big battle.If you win the Tokichin Festa, you and your monster go up a leval. There is a lot more I didn't type, but you will love this game.

This was another great game by Tecmo in the Monster Rancher series. If you liked the previous two games, you will love this one.

I gave it a 5 because I still play it, there is a lot to do once you beat the main game, if only making new monsters and unlocking all the special ones. However, I am disappointed that you cannot "breed" monsters exactly like you could in the old game. But the heart method is pretty nice.

I recommend this game if you like sim type games, or if you liked the previous 2 games. Hopefully they will make another one :)
