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.

    If you're fan of the cell shaded like rpg/action adventures from ps2 days this is pretty nice game but in handheld form =). Fun times and nice fighting mechanic..

    This is the game they should have released originally on the Playstation. It removes a lot of the fetch-questing and very slow bits from the original.

    This is an RPG for hardcore gamers. The presentation is great and the humor is amusing as well. Not for gamers who expect modern game design.

    One of the greatest RPGs now in 3DS and with great improvements like faster combat. Visuals take a small hit.
