Update: February 21, 2002 «©NCSX» In the circle of life, all beasts contribute to the never-ending road of consumption. In a theoretical jungle, rat eats roach, cat eats rat, and vampire bat sups on the blood of cat and rat. When rat, cat, and bat succumb to the reaper, roach feasts on all. Doubutsu Bancho, loosely translated as Animal Leader, takes the concept of consumption and plies it into a unique video game. At the onset, you take control of a simple mammal with limited mobility. All similar sized animals roaming the fields are fair game to your appetite, as you are to theirs. As a predator, you kill prey by knocking them down and biting them until dead. Eat an animal with superior mobility, such as a pair of legs, and you'll evolve on the spot. Other attributes may be culled by consuming various prey and assimilating new skills and motor functions. Scattered across the land are animal bosses which when defeated, pass on their attributes and titles to you. Once you're the king of a region, it's time for mating in order to pass the bloodline down to a new generation where you start over again as offspring. Although it's a new beginning, you're also faster, sleeker, and better endowed to carry on the Animal Leader lineage and take on new challenges. Jan Code: 4902370505900 This document is ©NCSX 2002.
