User Rating: 5 | Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker DS
By hack-shinobi | Review Date:
DQM Joker is a game where you play as a guy who's the son of a big organization head. Yeah... what else is new. The character, in this case is you and seem to have a strange fasination in monsters... So like many games have done before it you capture the monsters and use them in battle. You are trying to enter and win a big tournament throughout the story and again... Catching monsters...

Gameplay:

I thought the idea was cool of having a character walk around 3-D and then fight... But using monsters? I mean really? It didn't work out for me. I think it would have been 5x better if the character himself fought his own battles instead of his monster minions.

Also, I found it annoying when your catching monsters. Your monster has to show off to the other one and if it likes it then it MIGHT join your team.. I didn't like this idea.

Graphics:

3-D sounds awesome. But in this case, I found the graphics to be a bit chunky and hard to look around.. I mean when you can't tell where there's stairs there is something wrong.

Over-all:

I bought this game for a low price. Anything above $20.00 is asking to much for this game...

Buy it if your a hardcore DQM fan. If not then don't bother.
