If you like RPG's you have to play this one.
Old-school type RPG. Monsters drops gold, you buy things and find treasure chests. No-speech sword-wielding hero. Interesting skill system and gives you a chacne to make your character semi-unique. A lot of what has ... Read Full Review

The descendant of Erdrick would have been pleased . . .
While the gameplay of the series is still the same, DQ's venture into the realm of 3-D is a welcome change for the series. The world map certainly feels epic in its grandeur, and the overall graphic presentation is beaut... Read Full Review

Call this too cliche or old-skool if you want, but this is a solid RPG title worth any true eclectic gamer's time.
I've been reading alot lately about people calling this game too predictable and "crappy" and other brilliant type opinions. The fact of the matter is however, is that this is a good old fashion "level-up and whoop ass" ... Read Full Review

A very worthy RPG, but do not expect FinalFantsay here, it is quality and fun on its own!
I have to be honest that this is the first DragonsQuest game that I have had a chance to play, and honestly I wasn’t sure as what to expect. I knew I would be getting quality since that game is made by Square, but I wasn... Read Full Review
