It takes to long to actually get it "started", and then once your actually there, your stats max out....
I found it disheartening that even though I maxed out speed, every time I tried to fight something, I was only marginally faster.
It could easily have been a lot more fun, maybe if you had more control over the stats, if you didn't have to wait ten minutes, and if the stats didn't all max out at 99. Maybe some creatures would max out a 99 in say, like speed, while others could only reach 50, or maybe there was a total limit of how many "total points" you could put in all of the stats has. I'm just throwing things out there but it would it could have been more interesting.
The real show stopper for the whole thing is that when you do new game plus, it resets your monster.....
