this game is fun at first, but quickly gets repetitive. the goal is to raise monsters, collect (and sell) the products they produce, and in the process unlock new monsters and ultimately accumulate enough money to buy the forest and save it from logging. oh, and you also have to protect your little monsters from predators. the game is pretty cute, but mostly involves lots of frantic mouse clicking... which can get old as your collection of animals grows. still worth a look, particularly if you enjoyed "grimm's hatchery."
