DS #1628: Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker (USA)

This is by a long shot better than any pokemon game out. I hate to make the comparison of the two, but DQM is on a different level. I give this game super kudos for having changed the look of the game, and imprving on game elements. Pokemon has hardly evolved at all...

Nice! Now let's see if it's as good as everybody said.

hi guys. i can get it to run but once the game starts i get a message saying it can't find the adventure log and that i have to reset it. any way around this?

...this game is kicking ass. I'm very impressed with it so far. I've been dying to play it since the JP came out, but just didn't want to sit there with a guide in one hand and the DS in the other. It has great looking graphics too.

Agreed.

For those who are on the fence or not familiar with this type of RPG, I highly suggest giving it at least a good couple of hours before packing it in and saying, "meh." The thing is, it's really a pretty deep RPG. If you only play it for a few minutes it's gonna seem like all you do is grind against monsters that present no challenge. But the landscape of the islands and how they open up as you progress, as well as the great bottom-screen interface, really make it a gem for RPG fans. Of course, if you're not an RPG fan...well, this game ain't likely gonna make you one.

How is the music? Great? Average?

If it's not broken, don't fix it. IMO, Pokémon has been delivering a solid and sturdy gameplay since GB days. There's no need for fancy 3D-rendered graphics or orchestrated sound with Pokémon... they revamped the typing system and that's a HUGE overhaul.

Anyway, so far, so good. I've been really looking forward for this game, at least I have something to play for a long time... the DS has been very boring for a while, IMO =/

what is it? is it a rpg?


don't be stupid.
the release info states it as rpg, ign.com has a review up and you ask if it's a rpg?

Why do you have to be a dick? Why can't you simply state that it is a RPG?

i did. while at the same time i managed to be a dick.
maybe you should instead ask her why she can't just simply READ?

edit:
besides, you're blowing this up and there's no need for it.
when i say 'don't be stupid' it's not even meant offensive, it's more of a joke.
so no mo whining mmmkay?

Looks terrible

a joke?

I played the jap version longer than I probably should have, seemed like a solid game, the environments kinda reminds me of the first goemon 64, I'll play it later tonight

 

[Nicky33]

Looking forward to playing it )

"The enemy are defeated!"

this has some pretty lolenglish in it... but oh well, it's a fun game

btw, I love the "the lips" enemy, especially when confused
"the lips is confused, the lips attacked, the lips attacked the lips"

I agree with jalaneme.
What is this, an RPG?
I don't think so.
Someone prove me wrong

 

[dakeyras]

Seriously, screenshots do NOT give this game any credit. It's very pretty and polished.

A joke? I fail to see how you can have ANY friends in real life.

oh alright, and you're not acting like a dick now, too?
teehee, kids and their issues.

Argue in your own time. You're both incredibly childish for polluting threads this way.


On topic.. I can't wait to try this game out, I love the Dragon Quest games.. so this one should be fun!

 

[King Zargo]

I have a wii 3.0e with a wiikey 1.9g.

Does it work on pall?

this game is far better than most RPG games out there!

the gfx is alot better than most, with smooth 3D and high texture detail (for the DS)
and the resolution is at it highest, the 3D has dark outline so looking far away... you can still see the detail of the characters.
look around, most out-line or lines are single pixel... giving more room and space!
notice the texts are very small... trying to gives a high resolution looks (HD for the DS!!)

i got to give the gfx is at its best!
any more texture and details will sacrifice the performance and frame rate will drop (causing slow down)

the sounds is somewhat par...

for RPG fans, this game is good to last!

The Good : Gfx and gameplay
The Bad : Camera control
The Ugly : The bad guys (enemy)

8/10 (IMO)

(is there anyone having random crash on the R4? i'm using a "Kingston 512mb jap" or its just me...)

"The enemy are defeated!"

That quote makes sense to me!

Shouldn't it be "The enemies are defeated!"? Or... "The enemy is defeated!"?
