The Escapist: Review: Dragon Quest IV

Ultimately, DQIV's superficial sparseness could be its greatest flaw or its most potent strength. All that remains is the obvious question: On which side do you fall?

Bottom Line: Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen is a solid RPG set in a fantastic world. But there's a catch - if you're not willing to apply a little imagination to the game's sparse surface, you'll probably spend more time returning the game than playing it.

Recommendation: Buy it if you fulfill the above criteria. If you're unsure, give it a rental and see what you think.
