Dragon Quest: The Journey of the Cursed King
Sat, 1st Apr 2006
FYI, this story is more than a year old

Dragon Quest makes its debut in full 3D - from the sprawling towns and labyrinthine dungeons, to the hills and plains that divide them on the world map, all of the environments you pass through on your epic journey spread out before you seamlessly. You may lose yourself in the remotest corner of the globe, searching for hidden treasure, or suddenly stumble upon a whole new village or castle as you explore the depths of a shadowy forest – these are the kinds of experiences that will delight and amaze you on your adventure!The visuals resemble those of a high-quality animated movie, making you feel as if you are actually walking around in one of Akira Toriyama’s cartoons. Luckily, the NZ release will have added voiceovers to the already impressive cinematics, imbuing the unfolding drama with greater emotional depth. Furthermore, the cutting-edge animations for both monster and player characters have been enhanced in the Western versions to make battles more dazzling and dynamic than ever before.
