Dragon Quest Swords Review - Gamer 2.0

Danreb Victorio says, "To be frank, while Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors offers a good time, it's not exactly an easy purchase at the full $50 price tag. A rental would probably suffice most people, especially since the game can be easily be beaten in about ten hours of so for most people. While Dragon Quest fans can rejoice in a good game to enjoy, it just doesn't offer the same kind of quality experience that its roman numeral brethren have pulled off so well."

It is a pretty fun game actually, but he is right that most would be happy with a rental on this one. It takes some extra time to buy everything in the game but I did get thru it in 10 hours. So it's a nice RPG in that sense where you don't have to spend 50+ hours on it

CrashSpyro1235921d ago

It's definitely the perfect rental for most Wii owners.

I'm not sure how I feel about Japanese RPGs anymore. I'm not saying Dragon Quest Swords is a bad game, but JRPGs just aren't cutting it for me anymore. A lot of the time, it's more of the same. And let's look at the facts; there have been a ton of Dragon Quests. What happened to originality. I've been leaning more and more towards western RPGs. Anyone have the same sentiments?

PS360WII5921d ago

Umm well I see it both ways. WRPG's for the most part are just like jRPG but they fool you into thinking it's more open ended when with the story it's just as linear as any jRPG.

Dragon Quest for all intesive purposes is popular because it doesn't stray from the pack. It will always be the true tried and tested gameplay that the first version gave us as well as the sequels.

That's just me though for I liked Oblivion and Mass Effect but they just don't have the same flair as Persona, FF, Dragon Quest, Nocture, any JRPG has.

This console has so many great games. I'd like to see a sequel to The Last Story.

There's not going to be a sequel to the structure of Super Mario Galaxy 2 though. The only reason we even got SMG2 was because they had plenty of leftover ideas from SMG1 that didn't make it into the game. It's better that we got other structures of 3D Mario later on

crazyaejay2614d ago

Agreed. Mario 3D World is one of the best so hopefully Odyssey lives up to it.

mikeslemonade2614d ago

Galaxy 1 and especially Galaxy 2 are two of the most overrated games ever made.

Deep-throat2614d ago

The console was pathetic to say the least, but the games were great!

Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2
Zelda Skyward Sword
Donkey Kong
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
Zack & Wiki
Sonic Colours
Xenoblade Chronicles
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Super Mario Galaxy is getting a sequel though...Odyssey

Super Mario Galaxy 2 was a one off mainly because they apparently had content left over and instead of it wasting they made another game since they were still in the consoles life. Wouldn't make sense to have a sequel to Galaxy when each new system has brought us a different, brand new main Mario game. I'm glad we got Odyssey over it, it looks great and more open then Galaxy. Once you got to certain point in some levels of Galaxy (star cannon) you couldn't go back so back tracking was limited

darthv722614d ago

Technically it's not a sequel. SMG3 would be a sequel. Mario Odyssey is it's own game and possibly new spin specifically for the switch like Galaxy was for the Wii. If anything, Odyssey is more akin to Sunshine than Galaxy.

-Foxtrot2614d ago (Edited 2614d ago )

Each ones are spiritual sequels

64, Sunshine, Galaxy and Odyssey

crazyaejay2614d ago

New Super Mario Bros. seems to always have sequels (2 on 3DS, one on Wii, and one on Wii U).
Also, Super Mario 3D World is a sequel to Super Mario 3D Land.

So, Galaxy 3 would be cool.

-Foxtrot2614d ago (Edited 2614d ago )

Super Mario 64 didn't

Super Mario Sunshine didn't

Super Mario Galaxy was the only one

Super Mario Odyssey probably won't

Super Mario 3D World and New Super Mario Bros are not main line Mario games...just advanced versions of the handheld games

The 10th Rider2614d ago

Personally I want to see them revisit galaxy and sunshine in the same game. The water gameplay combined with the physics stuff could get pretty dang wacky.

-Foxtrot2614d ago

Super Mario Chronos

Time traveling to past games

You heard it here first :3

-Foxtrot2614d ago

Oh shit man SEE it's just waiting to happen

That and another game with a Dimension jumping element

Missing a lot of games: Red Steel, Zack and Wiki, Little King's Story, Bloom Blox, De Blob, Muramasa, Excitebots/bikes/trucks, Sin and Punishment, Kloana, Battalion Wars, etc . . .

Rebel_Scum2614d ago

Super Mario Galaxy 2 doesn't need a sequel. You could see the ideas drying up when playing through it.

Nintendo’s Wii: my console of choice for the last generation

Banjamin Yoder: That’s not a ridiculous proposition if you think about all the first party successes the platform had with Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, and other big Nintendo franchises. Where my love of the system does get a little strange is that I prefer the Wii’s third-party titles over other consoles.

The Wii had some incredible games, but just not enough to go up against the PS3 or 360's exclusives. (Opinion, obviously) That being said, I'm so glad I got to play on all three systems this generation. I didn't miss out on any of the games!
