Dragon Quest Swords - hands-on (Preview)

Aug 31, 2007

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 ...

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. ...

With the release date postponed indefinitely, Retro Studios have time on their side in the quest to perfect the first-person Metroid experience on Wii.
