Not Quite Perfect August 1, 2008

I would love to have given this game a higher rating, I really would have. The graphics are actually pretty good and consistent with the style, the character design is well-done, the digievolution system is detailed (if a little frustrating at times), the skill and ability system is a lot of fun, the storyline is interesting, and renamon is in it (which is a plus in my book).
My only gripe: the voice acting. While it's not an issue with every character (a few of them are actually well done), the voices of Marcus and Agumon are just so grating and poorly done that I have to knock off one star. The other voice actors perform alright, with the rare good voice performance. Unfortunately, you hear Marcus and Agumon talk more than anyone else in the game. Why weren't the best talents reserved for the main character and his digimon? If any of the characters are going to outright suck, it should be the minor ones!
My recommendation: mute your tv and pretend it's one of the older digimon games with no VO. True, you miss out on the background music, while not astounding it's not outright terrible either. You can also provide your own BGM with an MP3 player.

it may be the samme as the other Digimon game's, but if you are a true fan of both the series on tv & the game series, you wont be bored, theres tons of new Digimon to battle & to digivolve to. its a decent amount of play time, it wasnt really hard for me unless i came up to where i had to battle mega lvls only a few gave me trouble, but i managed to beat the game after a few times of reloading & making a few miner chsanges to my stategy
Awsome October 27, 2007

Data Squad is Digimon's first try at an RPG on the PS2 system, and unfortunately, it comes off to a bit of a grinding start.
The game starts about halfway into the Digimon Savers season (Season 5). Marcus Damon and Agumon are the main characters and while the others are introduced as the storyline progresses, they are not as deeply developed as they would be if you have seen the anime. The voice acting however, is spot on and the characters behave exactly as they do in the anime.
The game revolves around investigating areas in the Digital World where rouge Digimon are causing problems, which later in the season is common. Later, you go on a mission in the Human and Digital worlds to exterminate the Seven Demon Kings.
The environments themselves are rich with color and the occasional hexagonal data gap however, you cannot move the camera very much in the field. It's more annoying than hindering and also annoying are the lack of save points in dungeons and no 'quick-escape' item.
There are from fifteen up to thirty different evolutions for each main Digimon, a strange twist on the traditional sense of Digimon. Each evolution has a number of requirements to attain it and once that happens, it's time to use the Digi-Soul Charge in battle to open up the new Digimon.
Overall, I like this game and do not see enough bad points to draw people away from it. The asking price is very reasonable and the game is quite good for a first time Digimon console RPG.
