This game, requires frequent and daily play time, in order to have your monsters and yard up and ready. It may be good but I know many people who ends up hating the game because it becomes a everyday duty, sometimes not funny. MJose Garrido X1_MGM Workshop 1

I have been suprised to find this game reviewed. And I read the opinion about it beign demanding on how many times you connect. And it is sadly true, this kind of games are not enjoyable games, they are more like induced addictions. You may enjoy one day and be worried the next day if you don´t get connected, therefore making you slave of the game. Graciela A. Xátiva Workshop 2
