The actual shooting is fairly mindless, but the game is filled with great Digimon-core aesthetics, and the thing where you walk around a city with your giant robot and as you do you destroy buildings all around you would have blown my 8-years-old mind if I had played it at the time.

Solid fun. Plus it's only like, one hour long. Which I can appreciate.

It was never translated, but it's perfectly playable without knowing Japanese. You miss some of the date-y relationship-y story choices, but everything is still pretty readable from the anime FMVs (which are fairly cool too)
