Review

Poor King Trode has been turned into a troll, his daughter Princess Medea into a horse and his subjects into brambles. His kingdom, Trodain, is frozen in time.
The story begins as you, the hero (one of the King's guards), and your eccentric band - King Trode, the Princess and a reformed bandit named Yangus - arrive at the town of Farebury in search of an evil jester named Dhoulmagus. He is the madman responsible for stealing a forbidden sceptre from King Trode's castle and cursing the whole kingdom. Now he roams the land killing innocent victims. United by a common goal, characters Jessica and Angelo join the party on a quest to bring the devilish Dhoulmagus to justice.
Since the record-selling Japanese release new features have been added for the European versions. The game has been optimised for full-screen PAL 50Hz. The game also features the addition of English voice-overs recorded by a British cast, a full-orchestral soundtrack, a completely renovated menu system, new battle abilities, and improved animations.
DRAGON QUEST: The Journey of the Cursed King offers players a huge, epic adventure in a seamless world. Roam as far as the eye can see and battle against a wide variety of unique monsters by deploying spectacular attacks and spells - all in 3D for the first time ever.

No wonder it's a top game in Japan!!

What can one say about Dragon Quest? All I can say is it's easy to see how it's such a top seller amongst the serious gamers in Japan. To my knowledge, only Journey of the Cursed King is available in the UK, but I believe there are at least 8 other DQ incarnations. This series and Final Fantasy are the top RPGs in the Far East.

I loved playing DQ. My saved game ran to almost 100 hours. I bought the book just after buying the game, so working through that really enhanced what I got out of it, I think.

Great game, great humour in it too. Some of the characters lines had me laughing out loud often. I was also surprised that I happen to know the person who is Yangus' voice!!! How weird!

Anyway, do go out & try this game. The experience will definitely bring you pleasure :D

Wow...

I love this game!!! I have played a few rpgs in my time but this is right up there with your final fantasy suikodens and wild arms series. The graphics though cartoony are actually pretty neat and the characters are enjoyable and humourous. A lot of peple have moaned about the long levelling up, this only serves top test your metal as an rpg fan, i thought the same when i started but u get used to it. Finally the landscape, wow free roaming or what, hardly newhere you cant go. I suggest ne rpg fan to at leats try this especially for this price
