Digimon Digital Card Battle

Digimon Digital Card Battle (known as Digimon World: Digital Card Battle in Japan) is a PlayStation video game based on the Digimon franchise. DDCB is very different to the other Digimon releases in the fact that it is a totally card-based game. Players have a deck of 30 cards, consisting of Digimon, support and special digivolution cards. The digivolution concept is similar to the other games, in that you start off with a Rookie and finish with an Ultimate (obviously missing out Fresh, In-training and Mega, although some Mega Digimon appear as Ultimates). Players sacrifice Digimon in their hand in order to build up "digivolution points" or DP. When you have enough for your desired Digimon, you can digivolve. This brings a new tactical element to the game, deciding which cards to sacrifice.

Cards in the Game
The game contains a total of 300 cards of which 9 cards that the player is limited to only 1 copy. The player can only have 3 partners and the other 3 (and their armor forms) cannot be obtained but only acknowledged in their slots of the players card collection. Also in the game, there are 12 super-rare cards that can only be obtained by creating 'fusion mutations'. The 12 cards are known in the game as 'Digi-Jewels'.

Partner Digimon
In the beginning of the game, the player chooses 1 partner out of the 3 that are available (also getting a starter deck with specialties the same as the chosen partner's armor forms). As the player progress through the game he/she will be able to select 2 more partners. Partners available are:
 * Veemon (armor: Flamedramon, Raidramon and Magnamon)
 * Hawkmon (armor: Shurimon and Halsemon)
 * Armadillomon (armor: Digmon and Submarimon)
 * Wormmon (armor: Shadramon and Quetzalmon)
 * Gatomon (armor: Nefertimon and Tylomon)
 * Patamon (armor: Pegasusmon and Baronmon)

The player have card battles not only to get more cards but also to help their partner/s gain experience points. When the partner gets enough experience points, it goes up a rank. The partner first starts at Rank 1 and the highest rank is 99. Every 5 ranks, the partner gets a boost in either their HP or attack power (+10 points)

Digi-Parts
As the players partner/s go up in ranks, he/she gains digi-parts. Digi-parts can be used to modify the partner to boosts its HP, attack power or support effect. Only 118 digi-parts can be earned by going up in ranks. The others can be gained by beating certain opponents certain number of times and partner fusing. There are a total of 128 digi-parts in the game.

Completing the Game
By beating 'A' or 'Analogman' the player 'finishes' the game. However, the game completion is only about 30%-50%. To complete the game fully (100%) the player must go through city to city again and beat the new arenas that open. The last opponent in the game is BlackWarGreymon who only appears after the player has beaten BlackMetalGarurumon and have 300+ wins. To get 100% the player must have all 128 Digi-parts, all 300 cards and beaten BlackWarGreymon.
