Digimon Rumble Arena reviews and comments
Although it is a fairly simple game, consisting of just a small pool of stages and of characters (half of them being Digivolutions) that have only three possible attacks (either square, triangle or circle) with no possibility of actually combo-ing them, it is a nice and fun game! I thought I would just play as long as I could unlock all characters and mini-games (that actually suck and make no sense at all), but I just kept playing it for some quick fun over the next weeks. The only thing that I actually hated about this game is the DIGIVOLUTION animation: takes way too long for something that will happen four or five times a match and just quickly becomes annoying.
