Jade Cocoon 2 for PlayStation 2

Pros: Unique battle system, over 100 monsters to breed and fight, some deep strategy
Cons: Horrible voice acting, questionable graphics, indecipherable plot

Pros: Monster Raising, Exploring, Unique Battle System, Solid Game-Play
Cons: Weak Story, May Get Repetitive, Boring Music

You start out as a young beast-hunter in training named...

I liked the elemental base battle real. The story line was good and the chance to earn popularity with hundreds of side quest was cool. The graphics could have been better. All in all I would recommend this to a friend.
