 Great for fans of the series, but may be a turn off for those who don't know the franchise.. November 26, 2006

Firstly, this isn't really a game called Digimon World 6. This game is Digimon Story, translated into Digimon World DS. Chronologically, in America, it would be Digimon World 5.
To start things off, this is a really fun game. The premise is that you are a human who is brought to the digital world to raise digital monsters, or digimon. Throughout the game you can raise your digimon from Baby to Mega levels, even degenerating to make them more powerful. Furthermore, there is a training area, called a digi farm, where you can put your digimon to grow while you are out battling.
The game is an RPG. You gain levels and stats increase, allowing you to digivolve once certain requirements are met. You can also equip swords, shields, and accessories.
Pluses -
You can own over 200 digimon, and choose to make your favorites as powerful as they can be.
If you are a fan of the show, it's great to see your favorite digimon show up in the wild, be it Gabumon, Angemon, or even Myotismon.
North America is introduced to Digimon Savers, the new series running in Japan. There are many character that appear in the game that are from the series.
Negatives -
The game can be a bit glitchy. Some things may not load right away, and I once experienced the top screen, which holds the digi farm, turn black. This was remedied by entering the digi farm and talking to one of my digimon.
Some of the evolutions of the digimon aren't the same as the television series. Angewomon doesn't evolve into Magnadramon, Impmon doesn't evolve through to Beelzemon...Matadormon doesn't become Grandracmon and so on. It's not a bad thing, just a tad dissappointing to the die hard fans such as I.
All in all, Digimon World DS is a great game. It follows the RPG genre very well, creating an enthralling world for players. One warning though, just because you may be a Pokemon lover doesn't mean you will like this game. The style and speed of gameplay in both games are very different.
You should purchase this game if you are a fan of the Digimon series, the RPG genre, or are just looking for a fun game to put 30 plus hours into.

Digimon is now based the fun, simplisticness of Pokemon RPGs. Much of the game is similar, including the battle premise and the 'get as many monsters as possible' theme. However, along with battling and gaining Digimon, there are tons of mini side quests, shopping to do, farm expanding, digivolving and much more.
One of the greatest things about this game is that, unlike in the TV show or Pokemon you acutally choose what your Digimon is/will be. For example: if you choose to start with Tanemon you can digivolve it into Palmon. Later on, you decide you want to evolve it into Raramon so (if you're at the right rank) you degenerate it back to Tanemon and digivolve the Tanemon into Raramon.
On top of that, unlike in Pokemon, each Digimon has its own type of experience points. Tokomon and Patamon have flying experience points while Renamon and Monzaemon have holy experience points and Tyranomon and Airdramon give out dragon experience points. Certain Digimon may need certain experience points to digivolve into a higher form. Therefore, after meeting level requirements you may need to search out a certain element of Digimon to get enough experience to Digivolve to the next level.
Apart from that there are sidequests that are almost always 'chain' premise. For example: your Koromon asks you to deliver so and so such and such item. Once you find them, they ask you to find so and so, and they want you to find such and such and so on.
Most of the sprites (pictures of characters) are similar to Pokemon Ranger (the way the Digimon follow you, not the actual sprites)and most of the Digimon sprites are very cute too.
Returning from Pokemon is nicknaming, but with a different (and nicer) twist. When your Digimon digivolve, you have the option to change their nicknames or keep them the same. This is good if you nicknamed your Patamon, say, Devil and when it digivolved to Angemon, you wanted its name to be Angelo, you could change it.
Also, the Digimon in a dungeon often change once you beat a boss in an 'unlock' sort of deal. Bosses may (sometimes) appear in that dungeon once you have beaten them, allowing you to add them to your arensal of Digimon parteners.
You're allowed to have up to six Digimon in your party. Three Digimon fight and three are back ups. When your in a dungeon and not in a battle, you may swap active and inactive Digimon. This is a great method for leveling up low-leveled Digimon so that they will be able to fight in later dungeons.
On the other hand, sometimes finding certain elements of Digimon to evolve your Digimon can be tedious. Most bosses are extremely hard to beat and most of best attacks take a LOT of MP to use.
Digimon also have level restrictions. This can be very annoying when 1) you can't evolve X Digimon and are having a tough time finding a Digimon of the element of experience needed to evolve, and enough of those Digimon at that.
The game has its ups and downs, but is pretty good for Digimon fans who have Nintendo DS's.

This game is different than the others because its kinda like a 1st person point of view through all the battles. Its roaming around until you get to objectives like the other games but i think its much funner than the others. I spent around 80 hours to 100% complete and get everything in the game and it was a fun 80 hours let me tell you that. The only reason that i rated it 4 stars for fun was because a lot in the game you fight a boss or more in every level and usually you have to train a lot to beat them. So that gets a little annoying just walking around and battling and training for hours but once you can beat the boss its worth it.
I really liked the new gameplay style in this digimon world and there are over 200 digimon that you can get which makes it very tough to just get them all. The bad thing about that is that you can only store up to 40 digimon in your "Digimon Farm" but you can have as many digimon's "Scan Data" as you want. So overall i would buy this game because i dont regret spending $27.00 on a great game like this.
This is a great game March 3, 2007

Any owner of a Nintendo DS should own this game. It's very fun, it's a lot like the pokemon games but it's also different. It's fun, get it.

This game is so much fun! Before I bought this game, my favorite in the Digimon World series was Digimon World 2. However, after trying this game, I've changed my mind. This is a must-have for any DS owner. It'll keep you hooked for hours, and it takes a long time to complete the whole game. This is not a rip-off of Pokemon! This game is so much better then the Pokemon games! The game's plot and storyline is written well, and the ability to choose what your Digimon digivolves into is also great. This game is worth the money. You will not regret buying this game!
