 Sucks Compared to DQM 1 and 2 May 16, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
The story is not that great; it's incredibly cliched.
The bad boy look of his doesn't match up to what you are doing, nor does his personality really shine throughout the game.
Incredible level-grinding, not taking into account breeding skills and levels to be ABLE to breed.
The upside to this is that it's 3-d and there are many new monsters. This game isn't as memorable as Dragon Warrior Monsters 1 or 2. They made this game too forced in terms of gameplay and level grinding; DWM 1 and 2 were much more accessible and player-friendly, plus it's gameplay was much longer than this game.
This is truly a disappointment to the older games, even with it's pro's.
 What a game!! March 25, 2008
Unlike a lot of other reviewers, this is my first in the DQM series, although after reading about the earlier ones, I want to play them. :)
I'm an avid gamer, and DQM has to go in my top ten list of all-time favourite games. I love a game with depth and extendability and this has both. As one other reviewer so aptly stated, "This game is easy to pick up and hard to put down". I have about 350 hours of gameplay in DQM, and still going strong.
I have only one issue and it's not with the game. Square Enix does not police the online tournaments for hackers anywhere near as much as they should, and yet they give a big warning at the beginning of every online game about hackers being disqualified.
Other than that, I have only wonderful things to say about DQM. If you don't have it .. do yourself a big favor. :)
 Fun for all ages February 12, 2008
DQM: Joker is one of those games that is easy to pick up and hard to put down. It has a Pokemon-esque type of gameplay where you try to catch em all and battle other monsters. It is really easy to learn and has a lot of replayability. The graphics never ceased to impress and are actually some of the best i've seen on the DS. Sometimes the story is a bit slow but this game is well worthy of being a "Dragon Quest" game.
Not a pokemon in sight, but a monster battling game all the same February 5, 2008

I was a little worried when I first thought about getting this game; I knew it had the Dragon Quest name on it, so I thought it should be good. But, from game play descriptions (and my own imagination), I was a little worried I might be buying a slightly more "mature" pokemon game. Thankfully, I was wrong, and what I ended up with is one of the most-addictive, fun, and time consuming games that I've played for the DS. For those of you who've played Dragon Quest 8 for the Playstation 2, the game plays much like DQ8 does if you have a monster party fight for you. And of course there's scouting to allow you to get new monsters; you must impress the "wild" enemies by a show of force from your current monsters (basically a regular attack that does no damage). Other than that it's a fairly typical RPG, but instead of just leveling up your monsters, you can also combine ("synthesize") monsters to create new, more powerful ones. The story is a little weak, but the fantastic game play more than makes up for it. Plus you can battle over wi-fi against your friends' monster teams to see how you both stack up. Overall a very solid game; DQ fans should definitely pick it up, and so should most fans of RPGs.
