Editorial Review:
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King continues the mega-hit turn-based role-playing strategy of Dragon Quest - the worldwide hit, now available for Americans to enjoy. You're the last survivor of King Torode's army, and the king and his daughter have both been transformed.

An epic tale of friendship, bravery, and adventure awaits you on the grassy fields, snow-capped mountains, and restless seas of Dragon Quest VIII.

Rating:  - I guess I should read product info instead of just box cover
Nathan A. Webster "Musical anti-snob" has a great critical review, so I won't say anything more on the actual game set-up, especially since I played the game through about, well let's say just the first couple of battles one must go through in the instructional introduction. I changed the game disc at that point, and this now sits up in the stack of my things that I will probably never do anything with ever again, except to put them in a box when I move them to my next home.

Rating:  - Very fun game!
I love Dragon Quest VIII. It is a great RPG. It a game one can lost track of time playing because it is so much fun. I heartily recommend this product!
Rating: - If you are not adversed to old school rpg antics this is a reliable purchase or rental!
I made sure I played this game thouroughly before I did this review. With RPGs a gamer has to at least invest 10-15 hours into it before they can grasp the overall merits and flaws of the game. First let me say if you judge fantasy role-playing games solely by flashy graphics and a real time in-your-face combat engine this may not be the game you are looking for. Once again you'll be treated to random battles and a turn based battle system. Furthermore to add to your angst this is a whimsical 3D cel ... Read More
Rating: - The Best Game I've Ever Played.
This is easily the best game I've ever played in my entire gaming career. The storyline might seem basic to some, but it is such a good plot that it affect the quality of the game at all. Just playing this game is like playing a game made from God. The music, characters, and settings all set the stage for a perfect environment for anyone looking to play a great RPG game. However, the only thing that needs work is the leveling system because it seems that you need to train ALOT to get at a certain level ... Read More
Rating:  - No more "Cut Scenes"
So far I am 15 hours into the game. In more ways then one this game reminds me of the original Dragon Warrior for NES. The gameplay is great and the game is fun. Which leads me to the reason I am writing this review..... the cut scenes. This game would be a five star game if not for the cut scenes. Out of my 15 hours, I have 10 hours in cut scenes. I play games for battles, dungeons, and tough bosses, not to read storylines. If I wanted that I would read a book. It makes me want to throw the controller ... Read More
