Game
changeThe graphics are cel-shaded so it feels more like a cartoon. Discs can be put into the PlayStation 2 to make monsters. It is the first Monster Rancher game to allow previous discs or other monsters to be used, so no discs have to be remembered or found. It is the only Monster Rancher game to allow monsters to be traded. They can be traded between memory cards.
