Product Description: Episode II, the sequel to Monster Rancher BattleCard, shares many of the same elements of its predecessor. The idea here is still to collect game cards and use them in "battles," where the cards represent attacks, defenses, and improvements to the player's skills. But this game has added a very interesting twist to the addictive trading-card-game genre. You can swap the Episode II disc out of your PlayStation console for virtually any other audio CD, CD-ROM, or even another PlayStation game to create new game cards that you can then save to a separately sold memory card and share with your friends.
In Episode II, players are off on a search for the indispensable monster assistant, Colt, who has vanished to the Paradise of Monsters. To find him, you'll have to battle your way through a series of islands to collect all the cards.

Way Better than Monster Rancher 2!!!!!, April 10, 2002
Reviewer: A 12-year old gamer
This is a fun game! Once you get use of it.It is way better than Monster Rancher 2! Your monster don't go "DIEING" on you! Cause on here, they are cards! Also when you do an attack,they show a cartoon clip of your monster doing the attack to the other monster!So that's a cool thing! Like on the other ones you have Guts,which you use to perform attacks.To get more Guts you just shuffle your cards.It's really easy to play! One move that's cool is Golem's EarthQuake attack,that damages all of the other player's monsters![But also some of your own...]All in all this game is lots of fun!!! And if your having trouble choosing between Monster Rancher 2 and MonsterRancher BattleCard:Episode2,Please! Please! Get Monster Rancher BattleCard:Episode2!!! It's alot BETTER!!!! Believe ME!!! I was very Disappointed with Monster Rancher2!!!

I have the first Episode on the Gameboy. The Episode II gets rid of the Dungeon Crawl and returns to the gameplay from the Monster Rancher game. Instead of raising monsters, you collect cards. The tornaments and the passage of time are exactly like the first Monster Rancher game. Plus, you can insert CDs to collect rare and random cards, just like the Monster Rancher. The attacks are animated like the cartoon show, and the strategy requires very tight control of resources. Graphics are phenominal on a big screen TV.
Great game., December 24, 2001
Reviewer: streetsoldier450 from Webster NY, USA
I bought this game the week it came out. I was soo thrilled. There's Master Pabs(From MR2)! There's colt(from MR2)! and... hey! Colt dissapeared! That is what I thought when I first played this game. Don't get me wrong it's a good game. I loved this game, and I think it is one everyone should play. The only thing I didn't like was that the card battles are way too long. Heck, for tournaments, I have spent 3 hours when battling 4 people! But, I think everyone should play it.
Monster Rancher: Battlecard episode II, October 12, 2000
Reviewer: Daishi from USA
I think this title is a change from the original titles. I got it today 10/12/00 and it is quite well. I am a fan of monster rancher that might be why I like it. Well I had second thoughts of getting it but it was better than what I thought! (I like to say thought alot!). Alot better, and my best creature right now is a naga. Animation is also very cool.
