Dragon Quest: The Journey of the Cursed King - PS2 Game
This product will be available for sale in 2 weeks, but you can pre-order now to receive 10% discount!
You are looking at Play Station 2 game Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King.
"Dragon Quest VIII is a charming classic-style RPG that doesn't stint on difficulty, graphical beauty, or fun. 9/10!" - Gamespot
The most popular Japanese game ever finally comes to the rest of the world, with a role-playing game of incredible size, depth and charm. These games were so popular in Japan that selling them during the weekdays became prohibited to stop them from drawing people away from their work. Lead your motley crew of heroes and heroines in a quest to restore the king as you fight the most bizarre line-up of bad guys in video game history.
Although this is actually the eighth game in the core series, each Dragon Quest game has, like Final Fantasy, a completely different storyline so you don have to worry about not understanding the plot. In any case the game is far more interested in combat than endless cut scenes, with a turn-based system that is simple to use but allows for a huge range of different magical and melee attacks. What gives the game its real charm are the excellent cel-shaded graphics, designed by Dragon Ball Z artist Akira Toriyama. The animation in particular is superb and the game world, in which you are given total freedom to explore, is enormous.
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.,
