The real-world Olympics are going down and in the Digital World the Digimon World Championship has arrived! With the video game for Nintendo DS you become a lucky contender with an invitation to the grand event. Can you raise the strongest Digimon in the world and battle to become the world champion? Is it any fun? Gary's got a Digimon game review for you right here!

Hunt, Train and Battle!

Your path to Digimon World Championship glory starts with a single DigiEgg. To become the best, you need to hatch your first Digimon, hunt wild Digimon, train them to be strong and then earn titles by battling other Digimon teams! The time flies past as you train your Digimon, enter battles, gain medals and more as the championship gets closer.

World Championship Glory!

There is so much to do in this game, it's mind-boggling! You start with a gym to train and care for your Digimon. Hunting lets you travel the world to capture awesome Digimon for your team. There are tons of battles for your Digimon as they earn you medals on the way to the World Championship. You can also have multiplayer battles, exchange codes with your friends and have your Digimon battle each other for practice!

Frustrating Fumbles

This game is great, but a handful of little problems make it lose some awesome points. The biggest problem is that the instructions leave out tons of info on Digivolution and what the different powers do, so you'll have to figure it out yourself! Digimon experts will be fine, but new Digimon tamers will need to study hard.

The Final Podium Position...

Part virtual pet, part Digimon training camp, all awesome! Digimon World Championship is a really fun game that's packed full of action - from 3-on-3 battles to multiplayer modes and more. New tamers will have to work hard to get the most out of their Digimon, but there's so much to do and so many options in this game that you'll be able to enjoy it for ages!
