Dragon Quest IV

One of the best games not on a console.

By digitaltiger | Review Date: November 23, 2008

Finally I get to play Dragon Quest 4 and what do they do? They release it on the DS. For me personally it was the worst game system to come out on but I do understand why they did it, MONEY.

All that aside, it is a good game and I ended up playing it for 56 hours before I was done. The graphics are good and there was minimal eye strain. Sound was good but for the most part I had it muted because I was listening to sports games while playing. The game play was old school turn based combat and the management of your party was very limited. No customization at all and this was very disappointing. Overall it was a fun Game that I enjoyed playing but it is far from perfect. Dragon Quest 8 still remains my favorite Dragon Quest game.

Game Play = 7
Graphics = 9
Sound = 7
Value =8

Overall = 8
