    Great remake of a classic - 5 stars
    Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen Review
    Title says it all. If you like old-school RPGs then this is the game for you.
    If you like turn based rpg's, it's a great game - 5 stars
    Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen Review
    I like rpg's that aren't too complicated. Usually by that I mean turn based rpgs. I find them relaxing. I also enjoy a good plot. I'm about 1/3 of a way through this game, and I've thoroughly enjoyed it.

    The plot's fun so far. It's a cool twist to switch between characters every chapter. The accents were weird at first (and took a minute or two to understand since they don't warn you what's going on), but now I really like it. The different dialects make it seem like you really are traveling all around a world rather than one country that they call a world. (maybe the fact that I've done some world traveling and dealt with broken english in real life helps)

    The graphics in town and in battle are very good. The map graphics are just ok. I like the 2-d characters on 3-d towns and dungeons. I thought that final fantasy 3 had pretty good ds graphics, but now I'm going to miss any game that doesn't use both screens for towns/dungeons. In most 3-d places, you can spin the screen with L or R which really lets you find your way in the dungeons. It also lets you find tons of doors and stuff that you wouldn't find otherwise. Even though I don't think the map graphics are anything to praise, I do like that fact that you can't rotate the world map since I'd get lost all the time... :)

    I was disappointed that the enemies in the battles are so small, but really they're very well animated. The enemies don't have many attacks but this is a remake of a pretty old game so I'm sure that's the way it was in the original.

    The music's very good, and I enjoy it through headphones more. Sometimes I just turn the music off, but I wear my headphones for this game!

    The challenge hasn't been very high, but I have had to level up a little bit so far (run around and fight a bit to get stronger before going on). Again, I play these games to relax so I'm not looking for some challenge but not a huge challenge. Perfect for me!

    I never played dragon warrior 4 on the nes, but I think this is a great game (back in the nes era the dragon quest American games were called dragon warrior due to a trademark on dragon quest). I heard that most of the name changes were to bring it closer to the original japanese (like really the the nes version wasn't a great translation).

    So basically, if you like rpg games, or are looking for a good starting point in the rpg world, I don't think you can do much better than this.

    fun but short - 5 stars
    Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen Review
    great game. brings me back to 1992. enix decided to remove all level grinding so now you basically just walk through the game, hitting your cue marks along the way. i'm about 30 hours into the game and will be finishing the main quest soon. regardless, the game looks look beautiful and is fun.
    Love this game - 5 stars
    Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen Review
    I love the old style RPG's and find there are never enough of them. This one started a little different than any I've played before and I found myself lost but that just is a plus for puzzle fans too who like trying to figure out what to do next. Anyway, you start as you who is to save the world but suddenly you find yourself playing as another character and I wasn't sure what was going on then another chapter starts and then you are another character again but I'm glad I stuck with it because by chapter 5 you are you again and hunting these people you've played as previously to join your party and it's a huge world map and sizable game and I've played 40 hours so far and don't think I'm near finished yet but I'm loving it.
    Why must the good, classic, fantasy RPG's be treated like garbage??? - 2 stars
    Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen Review
    For the love of all that is good, why can't companies make good ports of the best classic fantasy RPG's? Dragon Warrior IV for the DS sucks. The game was originally a 2D game. Why in the world does it have to be ruined by being converted to 3D? Why do these wonderful games have to be for handhelds only? The only reason I gave this game two stars instead of one is the ability to control your party manually in chapter 5. I definetely enjoy the NES version a lot better.
