Product Features
- Become the world’s greatest Monster Scout in Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker™ 2, a spinoff of the fan-favorite DRAGON QUEST core series. Players scout and collect monsters in order to build a team to battle enemies
- When a player’s party encounters other monsters in a battle, they can try to recruit those monsters with their scouting skills. A meter on the top screen indicates the chance that players can scout a monster. The higher the number, the higher the chance the monster will join a player’s party
- More than 300 different monsters are available to scout and synthesize. By synthesizing two different monsters, players can create new, more powerful monsters. These monsters can be customized using more than 240 skill trees. Some monsters return from previous DRAGON QUEST games, while others are new
- In battles, monsters level up to learn new skills and become more powerful
- Players can battle their monster teams against one another using a local wireless connection. Or, using a broadband Internet connection, they can connect to Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection to battle against other players
- The Wi-Fi World Tournament lets players battle against other monster teams around the world
- The game supports a variety of Tag Mode options that let players connect and share data with others: ○ Players who connect via Tag Mode with owners of DRAGON QUEST VI®: Realms of Revelation™ or DRAGON QUEST IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies™ can scout monsters from those games. ○ Players who connect via Tag Mode with other Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 players can battle against them and have a chance to scout their monsters without affecting their games
Item Description
As Monster Scouts, players can recruit wild monsters to build a team and battle against other players in this turn-based role-playing game. Each year, monster scouts from around the world gather to compete for the title of world’s greatest scout. Players crash-land on a mysterious island after their airship is struck by lightning. They must rescue their missing passengers and crew members by fighting various enemies using their own monster parties. The only way off the island is to solve its many mysteries.

Great game
Dragon quest monster joker 2 follows closely to it's predecessor whereby players explore areas and tame monsters into their party. There is a lot more monsters added in part 2 and will keep you buys for many hours if you try and encounter all monsters since some monsters only appear at certain time of the day. It's easy to understand even if you do not know Japanese but knowing a little Japanese will make it even more enjoyable. Highly recommended

Fixes every Flaw.
While DQMJ was a wonderful game, it had some flaws that pushed it back. Information was hard to come by about just what skills did, for example, and it retained the classic Dragon Quest rule of "You must be at a specific place to save."
All of that is fixed in DQMJ2. The game has an innovative new icon based menu system that allows for saving and going into Tag mode at any time, for example.
The monsters are key to the game, and DQMJ2 fixes the biggest complaint about Joker 1 -- the monster roster has been expanded to over 300, many more than even the classic Gameboy titles. While a large number of these are pallet swaps, they are all based on other monsters from Dragon Quest history. Running into not only a Mimic, but also a Cannibox and a Pandora's Box.
While the game lacks the "grotto" system of the GB/GBA DQM games and DQ9, it does have an extensive amount of randomization. Each screen in DQMJ2 has a ton of different monster layouts, often with rare spawns on each screen. While the map stays static, it doesn't feel as static as DQMJ1 did.
One other major addition, and frankly amazing change, is that monsters have a size. This is similar to Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart, although without the human party members. You have a total of 3 party slots, and a big monster can take up to 3 slots -- for the truly giant monsters, they are a party in and of themselves.
For example, my current party is a Liquid Metal Slime (Size 1) and a King Leo from Dragon Quest 3 (Size 2). The King Leo hits like a truck, hitting 3 times each attack for 150+ damage a swing. His stats are capped above 999, meaning that while he takes up two party slots, he holds his own. This is useful in battles where, say, AOE damage would normally do 150 damage to 2 monsters, instead he takes 150 damage and only 150 damage, making for easier healing.
The Wifi has been expanded. It's now possible to battle via Friend code, as well as do real time battles with strangers. The tournament also has made a return.
All in all, this is an excellent DQM game and has finally returned the game to the glory of DQM2. A must purchase for any fan of the monster hunter genre.

Wonderful Game!
This game is great! It'll keep you busy for hours! Also, it's very easy to play, even if you don't understand Japanese! (I don't!) A must-buy for RPG and monster fans!
