Product Description

 
Square-Enix’s DRAGON QUEST series (known as DRAGON WARRIOR in the US) has been one of the largest RPG series of all time, and now, with DRAGON QUEST VIII: JOURNEY OF THE CURSED KING for the PS2, the series goes fully 3-dimensional. The game’s storyline revolves around a nameless palace guard who is the only survivor of an attack on the castle by the evil mage Dhoulmagus. The mage turned the king into a frog and the princess into a horse. Now, it’s up to the guard, his friend Yangus, the two royals-turned-animals, and several other companions to stop Dhoulmagus and restore the kingdom. Players will eventually have a group of four characters to control in battle. The fights are turn-based and occur randomly, just like in previous DRAGON QUEST games. In addition to the standard attacks and magic spells, characters also have abilities they can use. These abilities are gained by purchasing them with skill points.

Dragon Quest VIII: - The World Through Slime Colored Glasses

Date of Review:  Jan 27, 2006
The Bottom Line: Dragon Quest VIII Is a Great RPG Even Though It Ditches Much of What Made the Past Games so Good.
Review: The Dragon Quest (known as Dragon Warrior here in the US) is one that has fallen deeply into obscurity throughout most of the world. In it's homeland though, Dragon Quest is the most popular video game series of all time. It is loved so thoroughly...

Dragon Warrior meets Final Fantasy

Date of Review:  Dec 31, 2005
The Bottom Line: Finally, something for fans to be excited about!
Review: I'm going to spare you the longwinded history of the Dragon Quest (known to us as Dragon Warrior) series, which generally boils down to this: as an RPG franchise, it's overshadowed by Final Fantasy, at least in the U.S. But Dragon Quest 8 changes...

DQVIII - Square-Enix brings back the old-school RPG

Date of Review:  Feb 18, 2006
The Bottom Line: Finally, an old-school RPG for a new generation.
Review: My normal policy for reviewing games is that I finish the game before I go on typing a review because I do believe that games change as they get near the end, which is something a lot of review sites, (ahem* Gamespot, IGN) do not really pay...
