Dragon Quest Swords is a fun,but some times repetitive first person hack/slash with rpg elements. The game has you playing in first person, and you take on the role of a young inexperienced hero's son. The game sets you out to save the world from impending darkness, with the help of three friends(with only 1 in your party at a time) who support you via spells. The core game play revolves around using the wii mote to hack, slash, and stab your enemies,which in itself grows tiresome however the master slash moves spice up the game play nicely(allowing you to preform powerful moves by following commands on the screen.)The main story quest is rather short, but collecting items and gold for the sake of creating stronger weapons, and buying better armor, as well as some fun side quests make for an overall great experience!Read full review
Great game, although this isn't your standard RPG with long last playtime. But DQ Sword gives you something that other RPG Game don't have, the sensation of actualy being the Hero,although that makes the game more like an Action Game rather than an RPG. Graphic : 7.8 DQ Sword has decent and well executed graphic , with lots of familliar NPC's,and monster's for the DQ Series fans. Sound : 7.8 There are A lot of familliar sound effects from the DQ Series in this game,and DQ Sword gives you good musics to support the battle and adventuruous feeling of the game. Story : 6.5 (spoiler allert) The story is all to short.....You must find the Queen, fix the mask, and fight the boss....the end. Although you could try to defeat the extra bosses after you finished the game. Gameplay : 8.5 Great gameplay! This is the best part of this game. Feel the sensation of real intense battle against dominions of evil in your own living room. The boss battle is the most fun part of this game. It was well made by Square Enix, so you will find the boss battle really fun and entertaining. Replay Value : 8.0 You can always replay the level you've finished to gain more EXP and item's. And with the great gameplay, you'll find yourself palying this game over and over again. This is the kind of game I'm expecting from Nintendo Wii,with real experience and a lot action involving the player themself. With DQ Swords, you can experience the Intense battle of a Hero in an adventure against the minions of Evil. But forget it if your'e looking for 50 hours and complex story RPG.Read full review
This is an interesting game to play. Sword slashing is done with the Wii Remote. A little different when you are used to pushing a button for an action. Once you get adjusted to it, play is actually pretty easy and a lot more fun. I do recommend doing the training at the start of the game. I have played others in this series and I prefer some of the more standard RPG look. A FPS look is not what I am interested in. Taking a party and developing it is more fun in my opinion. Having just one character to utilize and control makes for limitations. The secondary party member is not a lot of help. The linear story is slow. You have to go specific directions to progress. If you want to get some of the better items you have to farm for gold/tokens. That takes extra time. Overall game play is enjoyable. Motion Control makes it more realistic/entertaining. I have found that I prefer to stand to better control my movements. It causes things just to work better.Read full review
This was a fun game to play, using the Wiimote to slash your sword around. The best part is the replay value, of going to different forks in the dungeons if you missed (it's practically on a rail in 1st person, like if you played Virtua Cop or House of the Dead where you can't really backtrack on a run) and they even have rewards so you can temper your swords or get a better ranking the next time you enter a dungeon. The problem I had with the game is that it takes a while to get used to the controls. Your specials, called Master Strokes can sometimes be difficult to use even when you feel you are doing the move correctly. The same is true sometimes with your sword slashes, like you'll get a slash when you motion for a thrust. Fortunately, you won't miss too often, even if this is a problem. I also felt the game had recycled a lot of things; do not expect new enemies (a lot of palette swaps) or characters for quite a while if you played Dragon Quest 8. It is also sluggish to turn in towns. Lastly, the story is mediocre; you basically fight some cliche villain who revives himself and the dialogue is not compelling though at least the characters are tolerable. Fortunately, overkilling enemies (attacking them a bunch of times even while they have no health left) and getting your rankings makes the game more fun to play though it has its problems.Read full review
First off I only gave this 4 stars because the game wasn't quite as long as I expected. Otherwise this was a surprisingly fun title. It's a Wii game thru and thru, it's all motion commands. The sword and shield play is very engaging, and while at first it seems it could get repetitive and boring, it becomes a skill you want to hone. It's a pretty linear game, no real sidequests besides forging every weapon, but I did put close to 30 hours into this and really enjoyed it. On a side note, my 2 year old daughter really loved *trying* to play the slime crisis mini-game :)
