By Poopinhammer | Review Date: March 3, 2009

To start off, i have a working NES copy of this game and have played it almost every year since it came out.

That being said, i was more then excited to hear that it was coming out for the DS.

Graphics - Looks like Dragon Warrior 7. The sprites were probably taken from the game. Maybe you could relate more to a cheerful version of Final Fantasy Tactics

Sound - Very 8-bit. very nostalgic.

Story - It definitely does a better job of bringing the 4 chapters together then the NES version. Maybe i wasn't paying attention but everything is pulled together nicely. I could of did without the dialects though.

Extra content - Short but still good. Its an interesting alternate ending.

All in all, if you like rpg games that you absolutely have to grind to live. This is the game.
