I think this is the best DW/Q game besides the dragon warrior monster games although i do not have that many others(i only have 1&2,which i do not like, and dragon warrior monsters the original and terry's adventure, and dragon warrior 7) one thing i do not lie about this one is that there are a lot of gameboy sounds like when a character dodges an attack they make this annoying noise, i love the gameplay, unlike other DW/Q games you actually get to see the characters fight which is a good thing(i don't like how they only show the monsters in the others,see my DW7 review for more information about what i think about the other DW/Q games battle system) the graphics are great,the sound is great also.

Dragon Quest 8 the journey of a cursed king is an rpg game if you like rpg's then you might consider DQ 8.
