"
Dragon Quest's 9th entry was a pretty solid one though to be honest, I was hoping for it to come to the home consoles much like the 8th one was. It is still the same good old Dragon Quest game though it feels a lot more simpler than usual as it has more focus in its multiplayer. Don't get me wrong, the multiplayer is quite good but it could've gotten a bit more deeper with its RPG elements."

A word of warning : The squad members of DQIX have absolutely no personality or dialogue if you're playing single player. You can play local co-op with other people who own the game."
"The entire Dragon Quest series is great, but I really like this one because they fit so much content on such a small, portable DS cart. It's such a shame that this fun game doesn't have an epic storyline or a constant cast of engaging characters."
