A game that if not almost perfect, is perfect in every way. This game would set the standard for the formula of the following Dragon Quest games.
It can be a bit repetitive if it is your first game, but if you have been playing Dragon Quest for a while, you will immediately realize that the formula is the same one only presented with another layer of paint. Characters are fun, and the storylines of every island are fun enough too for the sake of keeping you entertained for a couple of hours each one.
