 Rating: - Not bad, but the the control issues take it downLike most good Wii games, "it's a good game, but..." At the new clearance price, the game is a good buy for some sword swinging fun. Don't expect an RPG. It's like a lightgun game with slashing instead of shooting. If you can forgive the less than accurate controls, you'll like this game. It's not too long, but for my off and on wii play, it's just right. The bad: -The controls in the town are ridiculous. Where in the world are my nunchuk controls? Use left and right on the wiimote ... Read More Rating:  - DQS is a great pick-up and play RPGI think this game stands up really well as an introduction the the "Japanese RPG" genre of console games. It utilizes the Wii-mote very effectively game play is solid and fun. The visuals are bright and beautiful and the voice acting the best I've heard in a Japanese-to-English port. The story is a fun and typical entry in the genre and works well. I am a "casual" gamer ... with little more than a few hours at a time to commit to playing the game and I found the length to be satisfactory. I find nothing ... Read More Rating:  - Yuck.So we bought this game because we played the prior Dragon Quest VIII -- and loved it! We couldn't stop playing it until we finally beat it. I pre-ordered this game, convinced that it would be just as awesome and consuming on the Wii. However, I wish I had waited and rented it. We loved Dragon Quest VIII because of the unlimited freedom to explore. This game's rail system ends all of that. Oh, you can turn left or right every so often when exploring an area, but you still have ... Read More Rating:  - Disappointing Game...Having played and enjoyed previous Dragon Quest games, I bought Dragon Quest: Swords for my Wii hoping for an engaging, well-developed game. Unfortunately, like many other reviewers, I was disappointed with most aspects of the game. The biggest disappointment was the game's length. As others have said, the game is simply too short. As a rather meticulous gamer, I explore every portion of a game while playing. I even took some time to level up characters by replaying a few chapters. Even ... Read More Rating: - It's fun for what it is, but lower your expectationsI enjoyed Dragon Quest Swords more than other folks simply because I had read a lot of negative reviews prior to playing it and I wasn't expecting much. I get the feeling that some of the critics were expecting a first-person Dragon Quest RPG with real action battles. This is actually more like a light-gun game where you use swords and have the ability to do some mild RPG tweaks to your character. The RPG elements are about as extensive as Shining in the Darkness for Sega Genesis, that is, they are about ... Read More |
