Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the fun gameplay, engaging story, and portability of Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King, particularly praising the enhanced content and voice acting in this version. While some players missed the original orchestrated music from previous releases, many appreciated the removal of random encounters. The 3DS port is considered a success by many players.

    Game looks great and game play can be very deep. Definitely a pick up if you like rpgs. If your interested in trying one is also suggest it. But don't get it if you have zero interest in rpgs.

    I knew of this game since it was on ps2. So when I heard about its 3DS release I had to jump on it, because it was one of those games I've always wanted to play. I can say that the game lends it well on the 3DS. Classic turn based jrpg hearkens to older final fantasy's and I am really liking this game. I recommend if you're like me and missed it the first time.

    This, to me, was an excellent buy. The game can get a bit slow at times, but overall it was an enjoyable JRPG with good graphics and feel. It's a good game for old fans of the series.
