This game brings back a lot of memories of my old nes. I like this one more than the nes version though, for a few reasons. 1: better graphics 2: got rid of that ... medieval talk and 3: changed stupid name "erdrick" to loto, which is what it is in the japanese version (actually, roto, but it's pretty much the same). Also, some of the town names changed to their original. I like that. Good game. go buy it now

They took out two of the things that made the game Great....

I am a huge fan of this series! However, I am a fan of the Originals (I gave this Four stars becuase even with the changes, it's still a good game and I would recommend it to RPG fans who haven't played the originals). Part of what made them So great was the Old stye Speech (A very important part of the game), which they removed for this version. Another part was the Perfect Hero, Erdrick (A very Heroic, Royal, And Memorable name), which they re-named Loto...Yes, Loto. Honestly, I would have still been very upset, but not nearly as infuriated as I am if they had at least chosen a better name than Loto. The name Loto for a Hero doesn't cut it for any respectable RPG. Getting Rid of Erdrick was a BAD idea altogether, but changing it to something as bad as Loto was downright wrong. Those two changes are what turned me away from this game. It gives the Dragon Warrior Series a bad name. Anyway, I'll finish before I get into too much of a rant. For anyone who has played the Original games, or wants to see the games how they were intended, go pick up an old NES and the original games from some Auction site! (It'll probably cost you less too!) For newcomers, however (even though I still suggest getting the originals), It's not a bad buy.

Completely old school.

If you're old enough to remember playing this game on the original NES and getting issues if Nintendo Power in the mail just for the maps, congratulations. This game mostly just follows the monotmous cycle of go to town, kill monsters to get gold to buy better weapon, go to next town, get more gold to buy next better weapon.

This game is from back in the days where you knew how challenging a monster was, based on what color it was (is it a red slime or purple silme?).

Somehow, though the game is still compelling making you want to see just was in that next down, or what might be on the 4th level of that identical level cave.

The scant backstory allows your mind and imagination to fill in the blanks as to the hero's past and the villian's intent. Overall, the game is simple classic fun free from the excess that tends to weight down the modern RPG.

huh? it was a great game! ha

I bought this game the day after Christmas, ... and recieved it three days later and started playing right away. I gave this game a 4 stars because it's rather hard to understand when if this is one's first RPG. THe game it self has a " Final Fantasy " like style when in combat. I myself can't stand the "FF" series simply because it's more text than it is actual fighting. But the DW series fighting style is not even 1/100 as bad as the FF series. I'm afraid I can't review the how the second game is because I'm still on the First. However, I would advise all serious RPG or plain old game fan, to buy this game. Oh yeah when I refer to Final Fantasy, I mean the PSX series.

Dragon Warrior- An RPG for all

Dragon Warrior, the RPG from Enix, is a excellent RPG. Although the graphics may be a little disappointing, and you may get a little tired of wandering, it's still a SOLID RPG.

The sound of the game is nice and simple. The graphics are fine but they show interiors on the same map as exteriors, which makes it a little confusing. The monsters look great, although they, like the music, are simple. The color scheme could be better for a Game Boy Color game.

The play control is aggravating, the story gets old if you are easily bored, but if you like the genre, and you have the time to play a time-tested and great RPG, try this.

Drangon Warrior 1&2 Review

This game is really good. I personally feel that DW2 is better because of the party based system and battles. Fighting 1-on-1 with monstars isn't as fun as using three people. Also in DW1 the music is very, very repetative. This is a good deal because it has one great and one good game on the same cart.

The Classic!

This is the best classic RPG game written. Hours and hours of entertainment. You'll have to fight the kids to play this one.

The return of two amazin classics!!

I would like to fix my previous review and write a more clearer one. So bare with me. Up until last Fall, i've never heard about Dragon Warrior. I know you all think that i'm stupid for missing out on a great RPG like Dragon Warrior, so let me explain. I've been into the video game market for 13 years, since the age of 3. It's been difficult for me to know what games were coming out, when they were coming out and what they were. It wasn't until i got the internet and when i searched on this website did i realize that i missed out on alot of really great games, Dragon Warrior being one of them. Dragon Warrior was the first RPG game ever released in the United States. These two games were released in 1989 back on the Nintendo Entertainment System. They were the first games to pioneer the idea of land roaming, monster battling and building character experience. Enough said. Now to the games.

DRAGON WARRIOR I: Even though this game was short, it was difficult for me. As i've said, i've never played Dragon Warrior before, so it was new to me. You are the descendant of the dead and legendary hero, Loto (formerly known as Erdrick back on the the original Dragon Warrior for the NES). You as one person, set out on a quest to rescue Lady Lora, daughter of King Lars XVI of Alefgard and defeat the evil Dracolord. In this game, there are several towns were there are inns, weapons and armory shops. You will of course need to equip some weapons ad armory to become more powerful. During the course of the game, you will also get the chance of equiping more powerful equipment. You are also supposed to find two things in this game, the rainstaff and the sunstone. Once you obtain the Loto Seal, go to a shrine south of the town of Rimulbar, talk to the elderly man and he will give you a rainbow drop. You then use the rainbow drop to form a bridge to get to Dracolord's castle. You must be above level 20 to defeat Dracolord's two forms, one as a human like creature, and the other as a monster. It was easy for me. This game alone, i give it 5 stars and above.

DRAGON WARRIOR II:This game is way harder than its predecessor. In this game, you the Prince of Lorasia must find the Princess of Moonbrook and the Prince of Cannock and defeat Hargon. The storyline in this game takes place 100 years after Dragon Warrior I. You get to make up a name for you the Prince of Lorasia, but the computer makes up the names for the Prince of Cannock and the Princess of Moonbrook. This game is wut makes the package a great bargain. Of course, there's plenty of training and objectives that one must clear in order to have a showdown with Hargon and his master Sidoh (who makes Hargon look like nothing). There's plenty of things to do to keep u occupied in the game while training. I give this game alone, 5 stars and above!!

Overall, i am happy that Nintendo thought about bringing these two classics back to the modern age. I hope Nintendo and Square-Enix plan on releaseing more of the Dragon Warrior series on the nintendo systems.

It should be fun
