4.0 out of 5 stars This Game Will Suck Your Life Away, 11 Jan 2008

By	michael myers - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars

Dragon Quest Monsters initially began as Enix's answer to Pokemon. However, since it's beginnings on the Gameboy, it has grown into so much more than just a Pokemon clone. Dragon Quest Monsters Joker has its own spin on the "gotta catch'em all" philosophy. First of all, rather than using "pokeballs", you must impress Monsters using your Scout abilities to get them to join you. The higher rank the monster is, the more powerful your team must be to impress it. Second, your team consists of 3 primary monsters and 3 backup monsters. During battle, you are allowed to have out 3 monsters, but you cannot switch to your backups during battle, making for some difficult fights. Monsters level up in the style of Dragon Quest 8, where you gain skill points in addition to stat boosts that you can allocate as you see fit to the monster's skills. Monsters can use spells and abilities just like in the regular Dragon Quest games. Third, rather than breeding monsters, monsters are synthesized to create new breeds of monsters.

The main difference between this game and the regular Dragon Quest series is that rather than have random monster encounters, you can actually see the monsters on the field. This is great because you don't have to go through the guesswork of having to encounter the monster you want as you do in Pokemon. You can just walk around until you see it, then run up to it! Personally I like being able to see the monsters before I fight them so I don't have to waste time looking for certain ones. Also, the monsters respawn at a fairly rapid rate, so you don't have to worry about running out of monsters to fight when leveling up. An interesting part of this is that as you explore, you may notice certain strange objects in the area. These are actually indicators of rare monsters that may show up in that area. For instance on an early level, you walk by a campfire and some giant stones that look like dumb-bells. If you come back, you might encounter a Gigantes in that area!

As if that were not enough, Dragon Quest Monsters Joker also has an online battle portion where you pit your team against other teams on a regional, national or global scale to find out who's the best. Unlike other games where your only reward is bragging rights, this game has in game rankings and you earn items and monsters for each victory!

Dragon Quest Monsters offers solid gameplay on par with the main Dragon Quest series. With over 200 monsters to choose from, excellent online play and a great storyline, this is one game that is not to be missed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than Pok�mon..., 4 April 2008

By	Gareth Franklin "Monsieur Ugine" (Ugine, France) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars

I bought this game purely on a whim, just to pass the time on long journeys and that sort of thing...but I seriously can't stop playing it! The graphics are surprisingly good, and the diversity of the monsters isn't bad either. However, the best part has to be the sense of pride that you feel when you finally manage to synthesise an S- or X-Grade monster.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost like pocketmon - that's the annoying thing, 2 Nov 2008

By	Ms. C. Y. Wong - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars

It's delightful seeing the monsters turning into 3D, dragon slashing, war cry etc is fun. The islands are good to explore. It's addictive at first, you cant wait to breed more and more different kinds of monsters and level them up. But the thing I didn't like about the game the most is that it's getting everything into centres, headquarters, you get to choose your first monster from 3 in the beginning...not saying it's bad, but I did find it a bit weird, almost like playing pocketmon. Maybe I just missed the old Kingdom of GreatTree and Greatlog, the jumping between worlds idea and all that, sigh, I wish next time square enix would do this in the old fashioned fantasy way.

The storyline to me is average, Solitare should have a bigger part honestly lol. Once you get over the main story line it's just a bit boring, it's the same island you go and train your monsters...and it's slow, so slow.

I wish our hero had some normal hair though lol.
