It must be stated that these games, while they have been improved, are essentially the same as they were earlier, with these exceptions: names of people and places have been altered--which will disappoint only those who have played the originals--and the graphics are more detailed than before.

The differences between the two titles play almost like a history lesson in RPGs. In the first game, players travel as a single character who's set to rescue a princess and slay a dragon. In the second game, players manage a party of four heroes, each of whom has his or her own unique talents in magic or weaponry (or both). The game pits them against multiple enemies at a time, as opposed to a single foe. Also, the addition of a save-anytime feature eliminates needless retread.

Overall, Dragon Warrior I & II is a great value, and perfect for anyone who's interested in taking a trip, whether it be cross-country or down memory lane. --Robb Guido
