OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
Dragon Quest VIII brings the long-running RPG series to the PlayStation 2 for the first time. In it, players are able to capture monsters that inhabit the battlefield. These beasts differ from the creatures you'd normally encounter in battles, as they have special names and abilities unique to them. Once a monster has been scouted, it's added to a growing arsenal of creatures that can then be assembled into teams of three for use as support characters in battle. Outside of using these monster teams in combat, players can also use them in Dragon Quest VIII's "Monster Battle Road" tournament grounds.

Excellent evolution of Dragon Quest

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: this isnt the most innovative rpg, but it certainly is great. for example: the graphics are top notch for the ps2, cel-shaded graphics with no lag. the music is also great, directed by one of the best composers. the gameplay does not have a big learning curve, but it isnt hard to get it. also the voice acting is superb and top notch. there arent many good voice actors like these ones.
Cons: the only con is the length of time to beat the game.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Amazing Visuals. The Cel-shading is spot on and adds new life to the series like never before. The music is wonderfully done and really sets the mood during certain events in the game.
Cons: The controls(If a veteran DQ gamer) are a little different from previous incarnations of the series and there is some learning curve for a little bit but after that it is fine.
Other Thoughts: This is a must have for any fan of RPGs and deserves to be in any gamers game library.

Features Since limes long forgotten, o forbidden scepter had lain sealed away in Trodain castle. Until one day, a mysterious jester called Dhoulmagus disturbed its rest and freed the scepter from its ancient bonds.

Using the scepter's power, Dhoulmagus placed a spiteful curse upon the whole kingdom. In the space of a moment, the people were transformed into thorns and the land was frozen in time. To add insult to injury, the King and the Princess were turned into hideous beasts!

However, the curse left one person untouched...a young guardsman...You! Now you must embark on an epic journey to save your king and country and lift the shadow of the evil jester's curse!
