Excellent graphics, storyline, and gameplay, but suffers from too many random encounters!

This was my first experience playing a Dragon Quest game. I played 4 after this for the DS too.

The graphics are great, there is a lot of attention to detail. I wish there had been more video cut scenes though.

The storyline is excellent with many twists and turns throughout the game. I won't get into it because it's in the reviews and the game description but you play the part of a boy throughout his young adulthood meeting new people along the way and battling evil.

The battle system is good old RPG style done in a great fashion. You upgrade your armor, shield, weapons, and buy potions. Level up with experience and level up your magic skills.

The only problem I had with the game were too many random battles . On the map it's every 4-6 steps, it's annoying when you have to walk far and don't have enough money or magic left to heal yourself. In the dungeons it is the same case but the monsters are more difficult. Basically you should take time to level yourself up but it's annoying at times when you want to get through a task and you keep on getting interrupted with random battles.

I would definitely recommend this game. I don't know if I will write a review for number iv but it would basically be the same as this one a must getter too.
