Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King for PlayStation 2

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.

Review: I knew this would happen. I just had to buy it. Any new release by Square-enix means that I must have it and I am really pleased that I got this one too! This is the first dragon quest game I have played and you really cannot put it down! The series...

Time To Slash Some Slimes

The Bottom Line: To any one who likes a good, classic, turn-based RPG; then this game is for you.
Review: Dragon Warrior, Dragon Warrior Monsters, Dragon Quest, Dragon Quest Monster: They all are apart of the same franchise, and one that has proved to be quite amazing over the years. The one thing people will remember, are the enemies, since they...

Good Old Fashioned Goodness

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 2007
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this game, its RPG that achieves a truly immersive gaming experience that truly makes you feel part of another world for the time that you play it.
Review: 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...
