DS #4899: Monster Racers (USA)

[Hotzdevil]

@Nyteshade714 I too got zaal in the 1st visit to Star caves infact i guess the encounter rate is very low however i got it at the place where the monster stays stationary at a corner as you approach the green guy (Jeng or Jung not sure).. Man I was really hoping that the monster's would evolve sadly it seems it doesn't

The monsters in this game do not evolve.

I'm sorry if this has been asked (looked around this thread, but didn't see anything), but what is the wifi for? Does it let you battl- errr, race other people's monsters?

It seems that what they're planning to do is occasionally release "Tournaments" which are just a time trial track. You download them from Wifi, complete them, then you can upload your score to an online leaderboard. Ranking high earns you a monster.(I got 15th place on the leaderboard and got a free...Poko. Okay yeah it sucks but still, free.)

But it is not multiplayer. The only multiplayer in this game is local wireless. Meaning with your friends or something.

Is this like a Monster Rancher spinoff game?

That's exactly where mine was - sitting in a patch of grass right next to the ledge the guy is on. It's probably there for everyone...

this has nothing to do with Monster Rancher. There are "monsters" like in pokemon, MR, Digimon and the like, only rather than battles, you race. They don't evolve, there are, I think, 80 different ones to collect, they have elements which can be mixed and matched with breeding, tournaments to race in, areas to unlock with area-specific monsters and you can equip one thing per monster.

Pretty simple but quite fun.

No, there's others too, but the 2009/2010 people are way more active now, as GBAtemp's become huge. People from the early days that still post have perseverance for staying here. So, respect mate!

Yeah I got 12th and they gave me an Exotic Lv.5 Poko for coming in the "Top 50". I tried again and got 10th place, and because it's an even number they give me a Black Gumdrop.

Hope more tournaments come out.

Hey ElixirD, I was wondering when are you going to update the "Temporary NDS Cheat Database"

 

[Dragonlord]

Many say it's not a pokemon/monster-rancher clone but all the descriptions in here point exactly in this direction. Somebody tried a comparison but failed at it. That list really showed lots of similarities. Changing names doesn't prevent something from being a clone

. Anyways sounds a bit dull but chances are it's a time killer. Time killer games are though usually, well, boring. The mixing à la monster rancher is stupid. What use are bonus/penalty systems if you can simply cross-breed tons of times until you gather all bonus attributes? Not really much. But I guess that's why it's describe as being only a time killer game.

So it's like an expanded version of kirby's gourmet race? cool.

Actually, that's the best comparison I've seen. It IS a lot like Kirby's Gourmet Race.

BTW, I hate how the names of the monsters in this game are VERY similar to Pokémon names...

The monsters in this game do not evolve.

That was a big disappointment to me.

 

[herriot126]

anyone know the exact location for blitzhawk? been tryna find it for awhile now......

 

[Hotzdevil]

its in the american continent (that's what Krystal uses right) its in the grand canyon the place has to be unlocked by completing some of the races which is unlocked by listening to the family of 3..
