Digimon World

Digimon World  is  a  video  game  by  Bandai  on  the  PlayStation,  released  in  2000,  about  the  Digimon  virtual  pets. It has  four  sequels,  Digimon  World  2,  Digimon  World  3,  Digimon  World  4  and  Digimon  Digital  Card  Battle.

The storyline  focuses  on  a  human  brought  to  File  City  on  File  Island  by  Jijimon  to  save  the  island. Digimon have  been  losing  their  memories  and  becoming  feral  and  the  city  has  fallen  into  disarray. The goal  of  the  player,  who  is  represented  by  a  young  boy  whose  name  is  given  as  "Hiro/Hero"  (this  is  a  common  Japanese  naming  convention  for  RPG  protagonists),  is  to  save  the  island  by  helping  Digimon  recover  their  memory  and  return  to  the  city.

As it  came  before  the  anime  in  Japan,  it  is  very  strictly  based  on  the  Virtual  Pets. The gameplay  revolves  around  raising  a  single  Digimon  from  its  Digitama  form,  hatching  into  a  Fresh,  up  through  In-Training,  Rookie,  Champion,  and  with  work,  Ultimate. A Digimon  partner  will  die  with  age,  and  return  to  an  egg  eventually,  so  the  player  has  to  raise  it  again.

Fans of  the  anime  will  be  familiar  with  the  sixth  stage,  Mega,  however  this  game  was  made only shortly after the  Pendulum  series  of  pets,  which  introduced  Mega  level.

To raise  a  Digimon  partner,  the  player  must  train  it,  feed  it,  let  it  rest  and  take  it  to  the  bathroom.

The other  main  part  of  gameplay  is  battle. The player's  partner  Digimon  fight  the  Digimon  that  have  become  aggressive  due  to  a  crisis  on  File  Island. Partner Digimon  begin  the  game  with  a  few  basic  skills,  but  acquire  more  as  they  progress  in  levels  through  the  game.

The PAL region's variant cover art features the seven initial chosen Digimon from Digimon Adventure. The group includes Gomamon, who is otherwise completely absent from this game.

=Plot= The plot revolves around a young boy (the player) who is pulled into Digimon World. His goal is to travel around File Island a locate all of the Digimon who have become feral and return them to File City, all the while, raising his Digimon partner. It all comes together when the player faces a final showdown against Analogman on Mt. Infinity.

Trivia

 * Despite the  Mega  level  not  existing  at  the  time  of  the  game's  creation,  five  Mega  level  Digimon  are  in  the  game.  Those  who  have  actual  level  classifications  are  classed  as  "Ultimate".
 * Several infamous  glitches  exist  in  the  game  (most  prominently  in  NTSC  copies).  Examples  include  the  game  freezing  when  the  player  tries  to  access  Giromon's  Juke  Box  (which  only  appears  to  happen  in  NTSC  copies)  and  the  player  being  unable  to  move  on  the  floor  after  speaking  to  a  Mojyamon  a  lot  of  times,  requiring  an  Auto-Pilot  to  quickly  escape.
 * The spanish version of the game can't be completed because you can't enter in the ogre fortress, and also in MT. Infinity the second elevator doesn't work.
 * Giromon's Juke  Box  contains  a  track  for  the  Underground  Lab  of  the  Grey  Lord's  Mansion,  which  is  not  used  in  the  actual  area  itself  (the  Grey  Lord's  Mansion  theme  is  used).  The  theme  is  very  similar  to  the  theme  for  the  Secret  Beach  Cave,  but  slightly  higher  in  pitch  and  with  different  instruments.
 * In all  versions,  the  text  given  on  each  Digimon  card  appears  in  Japanese, as does the sign above the Drill Tunnel entrance.
 * Whenever the  player  confronts  MetalMamemon  to  battle  or  for  a  game  of  curling,  the  title  of  the  Digimon  is  given  as  MetalGreymon  instead  of  MetalMamemon.
