4.0 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings. Does what it says on the tin but SHALLOW., 25 May 2008
By Bryan A. (England, UK) - See all my reviews
Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors (Wii) (Video Game)
It feels like a game which attempted to take advantage of Wii controls, and in doing so the production time went past and they had to release it. It's very shallow.

The game itself works. The game is on rail and story advances linearly, with monsters popping up here and there. Slashing is fun and especially if you like the world of Dragon Quest and its monsters, you will likely cry in joy seeing the monsters move around with vigor. There is something beautiful about that. The world also feels cosy and being in the middle of it is enjoyable.

The trouble is, that's where it stops. It's too much of an arcade game considering it's Dragon Quest.

It being a "Dragon Quest" franchise might draw you in, but it lacks depth, so don't expect too much. I think very young kids might enjoy it as the slashing in battles is fun and Wii remove is very functional, but that alone doesn't have enough appeal to hold you for long enough if you are a mature player. Also the game is pretty short - I spent only around 9 to 10 hours completing it.

Overall, I'm giving this 4 stars because I've read a lot about what devs went through to invent this for Wii and how much effort they made to program it. It is a good arcade game in its own right and it does what it says on the tin. It's just a shame that they ruthlessly slapped the "dragon quest" brand on it. Not only it's misleading, it dilutes the prestigious "Dragon Quest" brand. If I didn't know about the development process, I would likely have given it 3 stars, so bear that in mind - I'm rating this in context.

The battle engine is good, so I'm hoping that they will keep it and reuse the code to make a more full scale adventure game with deep story. Nice try devs, try again!

3.0 out of 5 stars Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors 3/5, 8 Dec 2008
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors (Wii) (Video Game)
Plot: Not really a plot that makes you want to keep playing to find out what comes next but still not terrible enough that its not worth playing. I think the story would of been fine it they had of just made the characters a bit more likeable.

Graphics: Basic. Looks a bit like a DS game but i dont really think great graphics are needed to play this.

Sound: Not much to say on this other then sometimes when you kill something the things your companion says does get a bit annoying after they have said that same comment for the past 10 times.

Controls: For me what gave this game a decent amount of stars were the controls. Basic but fun none the less. I thought it was good they brought in all the wii controller had to offer. However, i would of liked to of seen the nunchuk used for the moving around of the character rather then the arrows on thw wii controller as this sometimes made it a bit awkward to move.

Overall: Nothing amazing but still worth playing. It has enough to make you want to play it but could still do with a couple of things having a bit more depth.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wii fun, 20 April 2009
By A. Butler "tanj666" (Coventry, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors (Wii) (Video Game)
This is one of my first Wii games. I love the hack'n'slash nature of it, it uses the Wii remote to full advantage.

It's good fun but I admit it can get a bit tedious. The most I can stand is about an hour at a time, then my arm starts to hurt from the exertion.

I thought my children would like this, but so far they've not tried to play it.

One for dad's rather than lads perhaps?
