According to a certain user of a certain message boards from a certain FAQ site, this game is better than sex, life itself and every other game in history. If you happen to know him, have a good laugh on his doubtful honour
On topic. It's a great game, although it has two WEAK spots:
- Story and plot: almost non-existent story, linear and unimaginative plot
- WiFi: full of cheaters, hackers and... well, cheaters and hackers. Ruin the WiFi experience completely.
The monster combining is awesome, although a bit... time-spending. OK, it's a grindfest if you want to have a strong team. Heck, it's a grindfest even if you want to keep up with the level scaling in the main story mode. Nevertheless, it's one of the best RPGs on the system, even for those who don't like monster raising games
