Moshi Monsters: Moshling Zoo
© 2011 Activision, Inc.
Now Moshi Monsters (the popular virtual world) can fit in your pocket, in the form of this one player Nintendo DS collecting and problem solving game that has a slight resemblance to a Pokémon title. There is no scary content -- the monsters are presented in comical form. There is a lot to explore. Your mission is to explore eight areas of the Wooly Wilderness to see if you can spot hiding creatures, called Moshlings. There are 52 Moshlings to find, and each has specific needs that are met by shopping, searching and combining various elements such as the string with a banjo. Some Moshlings are rare and wild, which keep things interesting. There's also a Monstro City that includes Buster's Baby Care, the Glormatorium, and Raaghly's Stararcade. You can also unlock rare Moshi Monsters rewards including achievements and super secret items. This is a stand alone game -- you don't need a Moshi Monster membership to play. Developed by Black Lantern for Activision and Mind Candy.
