Just Like Good Ol' 1992 only better!

User Rating: 9.5 | Dragon Quest IV: Michibikareshi Monotachi DS
Back when I was only fourteen years old I purchased the original Dragon Warrior IV (US version) and spent unimaginable hours playing it.

Each chapter told a tale of its main characters. Though in chapter five, none really made any sense as to why other than Nara and Mara, all the characters eventually join the hero, and fought to the bitter end with him (or her).

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen relives the original tale with updated personalities of the characters. What kind of slang or accents they used by region. Sadly though, they never improved upon why the other characters would eventually join them.

The graphical updates and sound improvements added to the retelling of this classic tale by breathing a new dimension of life into it. Much of the experience gained and gold earned were left in tact and some much needed adjustments were made to improve upon the flow of the game. Not to mention the shortening of chapter 3 with Taloon getting more treasure chests dropped from the monsters to help him along the way.

All in all I gave the game a 9.5 because there's no such thing as a perfect game and no game deserves a 10. Every game has a flaw somewhere. And this game improved upon it's 14 year old self just right.
