Monster Racers[a] is a monster-taming and racing game hybrid developed and published by Koei, and published by UFO Interactive Games in North America.[1] It was released on January 22, 2009 in Japan, with a KOEI The Best re-release on December 10, 2009,[2] and on May 11, 2010 in North America, for Nintendo DS.[3] The game, set in a Pokémon-esque modern fantasy world, allows players to catch monsters and use them to compete in races. It is a spiritual sequel to the unrelated Monstar Race[b] series, originally released in 1998 on Game Boy. It received mixed reception from critics, who praised its gameplay and graphics, but decried its lack of originality and weak story.
