This is a really unappreciated game. To those who like Spore, this game would allow you to make your Dr. Frankenstein come out better and more smoothly. There's also lots of options in terms of what your monster would become. From a mechanical titan, to a biological freak, to an alchemical beast, this game offers lots to work with, allowing you to mix everything up to your liking. In the field, you fight other monsters, and perform mini-games, all to obtain ingredients. With them, you perform experiments in order to obtain new and more powerful parts, consisting of arms, legs, head, and body. The boss monsters present a challenge to your level, and you obtain their heads for beating them. It's got it where it counts, big time.
The biggest problem I've had with the game consist of two important things. 1: it's hard to get the ingredients you want, when you need them the most, and 2: wi-fi play is restricted to needing friend codes. What I would've appreciated more would be specific places to obtain certain ingredients, allowing you to easily get the parts you want/need. Another desire would be easy wi-fi battles.
In conclusion, the game presents one of the best fields for would-be mad scientists, and for a customizable fighting game, it's on the ball.
