Jade Cocoon: Story of the Tamamayu

"If you like monster breeding games like Monster Rancher and Pokemon, than you'll enjoy this game."

This game contains the three best qualities I look for in a game, great graphics, awesome storyline, and sweet gameplay. In Jade Cocoon, you are a young man named Levant who must save your village from the Onibubu. You capture forest creatures in your cocoon in order to spin them for money, merge them for different results, and for using them to battle other monsters and bosses. I truly loved playing this game! I was never a big fan of monster breeding games until I played Jade Cocoon. The Bosses in this game are truly easy! The only bosses I truly worried about was the earth bosses and his humongous minion Delfanel, but the Earth Boss turned out to be pretty easy.

The only annoying things on this game was the extremely anoying capture music Levan plays when he captures the minions. The other thing that annoys me is that Levant's HP doesn't increase unless you use Great Walnuts. Even then, your HP only rises by 1 to 3 points!

This is a truly good game and is worth buying, since you can go through the eternal corridor at the end of the game to concentrate just on capturing monsters and leveling up!
