 Rating:  - I guess I should read product info instead of just box coverNathan A. Webster "Musical anti-snob" has a great critical review, so I won't say anything more on the actual game set-up, especially since I played the game through about, well let's say just the first couple of battles one must go through in the instructional introduction. I changed the game disc at that point, and this now sits up in the stack of my things that I will probably never do anything with ever again, except to put them in a box when I move them to my next home. I totally ... Read More Rating:  - Very fun game!I love Dragon Quest VIII. It is a great RPG. It a game one can lost track of time playing because it is so much fun. I heartily recommend this product! Rating: - If you are not adversed to old school rpg antics this is a reliable purchase or rental!I made sure I played this game thouroughly before I did this review. With RPGs a gamer has to at least invest 10-15 hours into it before they can grasp the overall merits and flaws of the game.

The storyline might seem basic to some, but it is such a good plot that it affect the quality of the game at all. Just playing this game is like playing a game made from God. The music, characters, and settings all set the stage for a perfect environment for anyone looking to play a great RPG game. However, the only thing that needs work is the leveling system because it seems that you need to train ALOT to get at a certain level ...

The gameplay is great and the game is fun. Which leads me to the reason I am writing this review..... the cut scenes. This game would be a five star game if not for the cut scenes. Out of my 15 hours, I have 10 hours in cut scenes. I play games for battles, dungeons, and tough bosses, not to read storylines. If I wanted that I would read a book. It makes me want to throw the controller ... Read More |
