Dragon Quest: The Journey Of The Cursed King (Platinum)

This game was brilliant,
i got this for a present and by the look of thecover I was not expecting it to be good... I would have never bought it for myself anyway.
But I was bored one day and thought I would give it a go, WOW, straight away you are thrown into the story, It's a simple plot but very addictive. It's a long game and took me around 90 hours game play, to finish. It doesn'r feel like that long though, Theres so much to do that you feel really free and theres little doors and secret things that no one tells you about and that you just have to find on your own. The people you meet along the way definatly make an impression with you and their all unique. The four main characters that you control are perfect. And theres plenty to do. Just when you think you have nearly finished the game a new exciting twist comes into play.

There is a lot of cut scenes, which can get a bit sickning.
The random fights can get a bit annoying at times and I had to use a cheat… more »

This game is Fantastic, I strongly recomend it.

So many games now don't seem to give me that feeling of achievment but when i got this everything changed. After looking forward to the game coming out i got it on day off release. The game has brilliant cel shaded graphics, more top notch than that of Dark Cloud/Chronicle. Everything in the game is just beautifully done and most of it being everything Dragon Warrior VII had, the sounds, the music, the monsters. The characters you meet in the game you grow to love and is more appealing from Final Fantasy XII in this way. The battle system is great and you can specialise your character to learn skills for a particular weapon. The game is also really challenging which is also something hard to find in todays gaming market, if your one to expect to rush through this RPG without taking the time to level your characters then you will fall flat later on in the game when it becomes very challenging. Everything about the game is beautiful and i can't say a bad thing about it. At this price… more »

Everything about the game is beautiful and i can't say a bad thing about it. At this price nobody should complain as i was definitely not dissapointed. Europe isn't always lucky to receive such a good game and this might be the last we see of Dragon Quest but i do hope not. I wish we would get more games like this. I wish to see a PS2 version of Dragon Warrior Monsters next!!
