Pros: Fun characters, huge world map to explore
Cons: Some people may find the training repetitive

Pros: Great artwork, classic fairy tale style storyline, Expansive immersive world
Cons: Utilizes turn based battle system which not all modern gamers have the patience for
Summary: I for one had not played a dragon quest game, since the U.S. release (the re-named) Dragon Warrior. It was a jarring experience upgrading from still-frame blinking pictures of balls of slime and attacking humanoid piles of rocks, to richly animated ... read more

Pros: gameplay, graphics, sound
Cons: none really
Summary: We never even heard of this series before me and my family wanted to get a new RPG game for the Playstation 2. So my dad went shopping one day to find a new game. We really have only played turn based RPG's back when we first got the game. So that's how ... read more

Pros: Pretty, fun and easy to play .
Cons: The save system and the strangly adult themes .
Summary: My Mum’s neighbour got this game for her son, (who is 10), for his birthday and asked me to play it so I could teach her son how to. I realised quite early on that her son wouldn’t be able to get on with it yet as some parts of the game are quite ... read more

Pros: Excellent gameplay
Cons: Music is not in depth enough at times
Summary: Having played DW games since the NES days I had a fair idea as to how the controls would handle. The character movement is sharp and the response time for the commands is just right. I found that the controls have a fluid feel and the menu and such is ... read more

Pros: old-school nostalgia, colorful environments, fun battles, orchestrated music
Cons: lagging gameplay and story, linear, voice acting
Summary: I'm not joking. I think I logged a little over three full days on this guy. 72, 73 hours. And in the space of a few paragraphs, I'm going to make it clear why you'd buy this game, and perhaps why you'd be a little crazy to buy it too. Journey of ... read more

Pros: One of THE best looking PS2 role-playing games to date.
Cons: Definitely a game that requires significant time investment.
Summary: Dragon Quest VIII is definitely one of the better, if not THE best role-playing game that I've played in a long time. The quality of the cel-shading hybrid graphics and cutscenes are remarkable, with spot-on English voice-overs and lovable characters ... read more

Pros: fast load times, good simple storyline, excellent graphics, lots to do, just plain fun
Cons: lots of walking around the world map, more battle music would have been nice
Summary: 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 attention to. ... read more

Pros: Excellent graphics, decent character development, unique story, orchestrated soundtrack...FFXII Demo is a +

Pros: Turn-based battles, 3D cartoon graphics, orchestrated music
Cons: Menu interface problems, confusing names for spells/monsters

Pros: One of the best cel-shaded game seen on the PS2. Animation is top-notch.
Cons: Loss of some traditional Dragon Quest concepts and original Japanese puns and jokes.
Summary: Having played Dragon Warrior I-IV for NES, I remember being very hyped-up about Dragon Quest V. Buying all the magazines that had even a mention of Dragon Quest V for Super Famicom, I was very much looking forward to its North American release. However, ... read more

Pros: Great graphics, old school mechanics
Cons: old school mechanics, story is standard RPG fare
Summary: While hardly the best RPG ever to be produced, Dragon Quest VIII is quite a fun game. But it's not going to be for everyone. Much of the game is pulled from classic, old school console RPGs. The battle system is very much the same basic system used since ... read more

Pros: Beautiful visuals and sound, vast world, tons to do, nearly flawless
Cons: Casinos are somewhat boring, missing voice acting
Summary: 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 all ... read more
