Video Game Reviews of Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and Tower of Mirrors
Customer Review: Solid. Not *****, but solid.
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed the Dragon series back in its heyday (Dragon Warrior 1 and 2- to me 3 and 4 got a little too crazy)
I have no time whatsoever logged on the games between DWIV and this release for the Wii.
I will say that this is almost a 3-D version of the original dragon warrior, with a few alterations- namely not being able to free roam, and only having the one town (and castle) (at least thus far..)
This game is a lot of fun, and some of the old school monsters come back- slimes, drakees etc..and some new ones (at least to me) - and being able to swing the "sword" and raise the "shield" is a cool feature to have.
I have noticed a lack in monster variety- maybe only 15-20 or so (and im in what i think is the last (or next to last) level)
Anyways, it will not have anywhere near the playability of DW of the past, but for what it is, i paid $15 for a used copy. well worth the money. once ya beat it, it probably collects dust, but its kind of a new-age blast from the past..
