Dragon Quest IX is one of the only true co-op RPGs out there. The amount of freedom given to clients is spectacular, since they can actually walk around and enter combat themselves. Only gripe is that they can't progress the story. Customization is another strong point. While there isn't much you can do in the character creator, all equipment adds a visual to the character, so you could dress up as a slime of you wanted. Add this with a great class system, and it more than makes up for the creator. Main quest ends at about lvl. 50. From there on out, players can choose to do postgame quests and dungeon maps (Dungeon maps are mostly randomly generated, meaning there are a ton). There are also "legacy bosses" which are from previous games in the series. With plenty of postgame content, equipment that effects the character, a great class system, and fantastic multiplayer, this game is a strong recommendation for anyone looking for a good DS RPG. (Note: some quests and legacy bosses can no longer be obtained due to servers shutting down. You can use other methods to get these if you really want them.)Read full review

Really engaging story. The fact that all the armour and weapons you find are fulky modelled and appear on yiur character makes it super fun to mix and match. Story is more episodic than overarching, but it uses a lot of humour and intelligent writing. It's easily got 50 hour out of the main story, and there's loads of post game content for those that want it. Good stuff.

Wow! What a fun ride for a story and charming DS RPG. I had to buy the rest of these Dragon Quest games for my DS after playing Sentinels of the Starry Skies. I had wanted an RPG, but also one I could play with another person. DQ IX does both. Each player will need their own DS and DQ game card. Game play is easy to master, yet challenging all the same. There are side quests you can pick up and complete along with your main objective. Basic classes are Minstrel, Warrior, Mage, Thief, Priest, and Martial Artist. Advancing/Levelling your character during quests opens up new areas, better armor, and other character classes to choose from like Ranger, Arbalist, Sage, Paladin, etc. You will even have the use of alchemy to make up your own gear, weapons, and accessories. You are able to customize your character from the start and later, make up other characters to join you to complete a party of four. There is plenty of hours of game play in Dragon Quest. This has so much to offer.Read full review
Thank you, I’ve already sunk hours to it. Very relaxing game except when you get in the boss battles and then it’s brutal. Great for quick, short plays due to the quick save feature.

I've just bought it for a week and now i am totally addicted. This is a great game, the story is incredible, the quest is plenty and the part i like most is that you could customized your character. There are plenty weapons and armors and accessories to wear. You can be a Warrior or a Mage or a Thief, there are plenty of vocations to choose. When later in the game, you'll have another addition - the Alchemy, this is a great feature, you can craft things with it from the weapon, armor, to the healing item and some other item that boost your stats. The game also connect to Nintendo WI-FI Club to download more quest and there some great items to buy (using gold from the game). You can multiplay by wireless with your friend, this is a great feature, and it fun. The series Dragon Quest was very popular and now the IX edition is another great addition for the series. So you don't have to think about this anymore! GO GRAB THE GAME!!!!Read full review
