The gameplay is there, but there's just not much to do in this on-rails hack-n-slash adventure. Light-hearted Dragon Quest fans will approve.

Feb 19, 2008

Break out the Icy/Hot, kids - you'll never make it through Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors without loose joints. The game dispenses with the turn-based RPG combat and sprawling world map of other Dragon Quest games in favor of an on-rails, first person hack and slash adventure perfectly tailored to the Wii. A few things are thrown in for fans of the series - familiar music, typical character stereotypes, ...

The hugely popular Dragon Quest series comes to the Wii with all the depth and delights youd expect from one of the worlds most popular RPGs, and with that added bit of magic only Nintendos console can bring. The Wii-flourish, as you might expect, entails controlling the swordplay with the Wiimote, including parrying attacks. Also, Akira Toriyama - the mastermind behind Dragon Ball Z - reprises his role in working on the series' character designs (observe the trademark spiky hair so often seen ... » Read Full Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors preview

Aug 31, 2007 On paper, Swords takes us back to the games of our childhood. Not the hours sat with whirring consoles of old, but an earlier time still: adventurous games that took us from the playground to the surrounding wood land, stick in hand, ready to squeak a puny "have at you!" Swords liberally borrows from this youthful heroism. No ice-cold samurai larks here. It suggests that the remote is no plastic oblong full of gyroscopic confusion - an artifact of modern times - but the hilt of a ... » Read Full Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors preview

Dragon Quest Swords - hands-on

We sheathe our sword to bring you the latest on this swinging RPG

May 12, 2007

One of the most interesting games at the Square Enix Party 2007 is Dragon Quest Swords - simply because it's for the Nintendo Wii and it's exciting to see how the company intends to transition the popular RPG series to that hardware. The good news is that the game is a great deal of fun. While it's clearly aimed at a younger audience - we saw a 10 year old kid going to town on it - it's not a completely simple game. As you may already know, the game is not a strict RPG like the main series. ... » Read Full Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors preview
