    Mini-review: A piece of nostalgia

    Having never played Dragon Quest IV before this DS version, I feel like I missed out on something great.  I can see how it was a great game when first released, but by today's standards it doesn't hold up well.    It is definitely a must-play for old RPG fans, it just might not be exactly your cup of tea.

    Pros - Excellent port, controls, screen usage.  I never felt the game was frustrating.
    Cons - Wasn't fond of the story and character progression.  It felt like I started 5 different games and once you assemble your team, there is very little left to acquire equipment-wise.

      Originally released on the NES back in 1990, it’s 18 years later and Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen has found a new home on the Nintendo DS.  How does it stack up to other RPGs and what is new?  Story  Dragon Quest 4’s storyline is split up into 5 chapters.  The first 4 chapters introduce the heroes in the game as the evil spreads throughout the land.  These chapters are great as they develop the secondary characters in different areas of the world map, so that you really get a good s...
