If you're into the Dragon Quest/Warrior brand, this is a GREAT game. It stays true to the series, Gotta love the slimes!, and it just looks so much better.
I got kinda mad when the d00d from blockbuster assumed I got it because of the FFXII demo... I couldn't care less really
. I wanted DQ and have been waiting for a long time for this.
My absolute favorite part about this game is the function to talk to your party. Lets say you start a game now and go through the story, but you can't play again until Summer when classes are over, normally you forget what you're doing and:
1. you stumble across the storyline after a long while
2. you start over, frustrated
All you have to do is talk to your party and they'll give you a hint on what to do next. I am waiting for games to adopt this function as a standard, there are only a handful that do this.
After 2 weeks, my brother and I beat it. We're going to buy it sometime because it has replay value to it also.
I haven't been this happy with the replay since Chrono Trigger/Lufia II:Rise of the Sinistrals for SNES.

This game is awful. They switched the menu and cancel buttons around, and they don't let you change it back. The camera rotation is inverse, not to mention way too close to the character. The battle system is horrible. The regular monsters are just as hard as bosses, and all you do is attack and heal. You have to level up on the impossible regular battles for an eternity, because if you don't, the bosses pwn you. The plot sucks. Although the graphics look great, the characters are dumb looking. If you're going to make a game with great graphics, don't waste it on the most retarded set of characters... ever. Music... its the smae throughout the entire game, and it doesn't even fit in.
If you are a hardcore DQ fan, get the game. If not, go with a better DQ... Dairy Queen.
