Monsters 2 takes the excellent Monsters 1 and just adds way more stuff. Way more monsters, new monster families, equipment for your monsters, a fully fleshed out world map and then essentially infinite subworlds in the form of magic keys. Its a great product for fans of the original since it just supersizes whats already there.

Monsters 2 continues what made Monsters 1 great: its super fun to breed monsters and go from a pathetic slime to a maxed out superboss. This game gets more into the postgame content than the original did, and for those crazy people like me, there are fun hard mode hacks that really force you to breed well and let you get access to some of the super late game monsters easier. That stuff is great for a Monsters addict like me.

Monsters 2 pushes the series forward, but does a lot that Im not actually interested in. The game adds a storyline as opposed to just randomized dungeons forever, but Im not coming to this series to hit trigger points and figure out what to do next. I like just breeding monsters, and while theres way more content to be had here, Im totally fine with the old list of guys. DW Monsters isnt a catch em all kind of game since the focus is on breeding them together. Youre not putting them in a box to gaze at them endlessly. The old game is my Pokemon Red, so to speak, and this one is more like Gold.

I still love this game though. Its weird. Monsters 2 is completely competent and is a game I will gladly sink dozens of hours into, but when it comes down to it, I might as well play the original which is much higher on this list.
