A nice game for an introduction to the series, but dissappointing for old-school fans.

User Rating: 6 | Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors WII
This game has all the old school sound effects and enemies, which was great fun, as I remember playing all the old Dragon Warrior games for my NES.

I was able to beat this game without too much difficulty, and didn't spend too much time working on the extras or leveling. The game was fun, but just not that much fun. You get several different partners, but they are never really that helpful to you throughout each chapter. Part of the problem was that swinging your sword exactly how you wanted was something of a problem for me. It was fun, not too tiring, but you would attempt a horizontal swing and end up going diagonal and missing enemies you were aiming for. The idea was great, but it wasn't responsive enough to capture your movements. A fun game, worth having if you love the series, but a bit short. Hopefully we can expect more games from this series on the Wii, but with more of an adult content and a longer gameplay.
