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

Consumer Rating: Dragon Quest VIII Journey of the Cursed King PS2 Reviews and Ratings - Rating 4.5/5   See 58 reviews  | Write a review
Information: Product details
Price Range: $9.00 - $23.00 at 10 stores
Manufacturer: Square Enix
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

by  jeremy1456 ,  Jan 27, 2006
64 out of 64 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Fun Yet Simple Battle System, Gorgeous Graphics, Orchestrated Music, High Quality Voice Overs, Alchemy
Cons: Dumbed Down Substantially From Past Dragon Quest Games
The Bottom Line: Dragon Quest VIII Is a Great RPG Even Though It Ditches Much of What Made the Past Games so Good.
This reviewer recommends this product.
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

by  B_Campbell ,  Dec 31, 2005
50 out of 50 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Beautiful visuals and sound, vast world, tons to do, nearly flawless
Cons: Casinos are somewhat boring, missing voice acting
The Bottom Line: Finally, something for fans to be excited about!
This reviewer recommends this product.
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

by  t13monkeys ,  Feb 18, 2006
43 out of 43 people found this review helpful.
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
The Bottom Line: Finally, an old-school RPG for a new generation.
This reviewer recommends this product.
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...
