When a group of school kids are sucked into Digimon World DS, they must collect and fight with tamed Digimon. In groups of three, gamers travel through several environments to face and defeat over 250 digimon creatures. Players may copy enemies into their personal collection by scanning them before a fight, and then store them in the farm to use at a later date. To keep creatures in tip-top shape, gamers can purchase punching bags and weights by using money earned from monster encounters. Two players may "blend" beasts to create unique digimons, by connecting to a friend and creating a digi-egg. The upper screen on the DS is used to keep track of the order of attack and position of enemies, while the lower screen allows players to select attack orders, healing potions, and other items. ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide
