Monster Rancher EVO, also known as Monster Farm 5: Circus Caravan in Japan, is a life simulation role-playing game for the Sony PS2 PlayStation 2. Developed by Tecmo, the game introduces a circus theme with a unique storyline where players travel from town to town, raising and training their own monsters who then perform in shows to win the crowd's favor. The monsters behave differently based on how they are raised, which affects their performance in battles. The game also features a unique system for generating monsters using real-world CDs and DVDs.
