...To getting 5 stars! This is in many respects an excellent game! I am a big fan of the regular Dragon Warrior series, and one of the big features of that series were the well-conceived battles. They aren't quite as interesting in DWM, because there is a maximum of 3 foes at any one time, allowing for less complexity. However, there are many compensating features--the monster breeding, the tournament levels, and, particularly, the random dungeon layouts. And the game does not end at the end--far from it! Far off in the distance is the possibility of defeating the master trainer, and farther still the possibility of collecting all the monsters.
And it is in that last area, alas, where the game's fatal flaw resides. The final monster is generated by a complex, multi-generational breeding process. And two of his many ancestors that cannot be bred can be found only in a couple of dungeons that can be accessed only by winning, on three diferent occasions, five consecutive games of rock-paper scissors against other characters. Think of it--that means you would have to try an average of 729 times before doing this! And to add insult to injury, you have to suffer having the instructions read to you each and every one of those 729 times! A true masterpiece of playtesting stupidity. However, there's enough else in the game to warrant 4 stars. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

I was a bit surprised when I went to check the reviews for this game and discovered that it was receiving glowing reviews. I was like, "Am I the only onw who doesn't like this game?" I played this game and I found it fairly boring. I like the Dragon monster, but I found it very hard to progress in the game because it took like 100 battles to get one monster to the next level. And if I'm not mistaken you have to give up some monsters at some point, and some monsters get less useful and more and more weak. I don't know, that's just my personal experience; while playing Dragon seemed to get weaker. And I didn't want to give him up because I *love* dragons!
Yes I am a Pokemon fan. But strangely I did not think this was a rip-off. I do like the Pokemon games like fifty times as much, but this game was not a clone of Pokemon I don't think. Maybe Pokemon gave the creators of this game inspiration, but I don't think they were trying to rip Pokemon off.
This game is pretty good at the start. It has an interesting storyline in which the sister is kidnapped by monsters and you must save her. It's actually a very boyish game in my opinion, especially considering the character desines. But I'm a girl and found the character desines to be pretty cool, so it's not like girls CAN'T enjoy these games. But the gameplay gets old. Like I said, the monsters get harder and harder to level up. Seriously you need like a thusand exp. points and you're getting like 20 or so at a time! Maybe there's a path I didn't discover or something. I don't know. But I found that the game was kind of fun at first, but got old later. And you practically HAVE to trade in your first monsters for stronger ones, unlike in Pokemon where you can pretty much use the same ones all the way through.
I had really, really wanted to like this game. But I found the masters in the Star Tournamnet or whatever impossibly hard. And as I said earlier, the game was funner in the beginning but it went downhill. I didn't really like the battles and I felt the names were uncreative. And when you lose you lose like all your items! The replayability isn't as good as Pokemon either; I think you start out with the same moster and it's hard to get a diverse team.
Don't yell at me, but it is my opinion that Pokemon is much more well-thought out and has a much better replayability. Those games don't push you into trading in your early Poemon for better ones, and the character desines are more creative.
I don't hate this game. I'm not organizing a club that is pro-Pokemon and anti-DragonWarriors. I'm not destined to hate anyone who likes this game. I just don't like it much and feel that there isn't much creativity here. Not the most horribl;e game ever made but definitely not in the Top Ten.

I found this game great fun when I first got oh, back in 5th grade or so. I was very into the Dragon Quest/Warrior series and I wanted to try out this one. I found this game a lot of fun from when I picked it up and I couldn't put it down. The system is quite similar to Pokemon but not as complex really and this one I found to be more fun. It was pretty straight forward, you did quests, then tournaments etc, but I found that to be very fun. The monsters in this game were a bit repetative because of the fact they would take a monster then change it's color and make a new monster with some additional attributes, but other than that I thought the game was great fun.
Rating: - Best game since final fantasy
I beaten this game, it was so easy and fun, i got every monster from the ???? family, and darkdrium took me a long time to get, hes the best monster in the game, at lvl 80 when he could of reached lvl 99, i got him to all stats at its maximum level.
i also laughed at slime family, its funny cus when you beat them, they still smile, and if u injure them, just my personal opion about the slimes
-healer:first boss and heals and easy to beat
-dragon: second boss and has some powerful attacks when you have crudy monsters, like fireair and stuff
-golem: third boss with passionate power, has a strong attack called strongD and others like surge and stuff.
-fourth could be an option, cus its a madcat or a madknight, you can choose to sacrifice that dragon to open the portal to the madknight boss, hes hard cus he can do major damage like massacre.
-Battlerex: 5th boss, strong and way better looking and sexier then the dragon boss, he withholds a strong axe and chop you to pieces, scary.
-facetree: 6th boss, extremely easy cus it uses stupid atacks likepoisonair and physical attacks that do nothing.
-Gigantes: 7th boss thats really easy to beat because of the strong willing power and major brain damage, does have a high attack, but its dumb.
-Orochi: 8th boss, has 5 heads and its a weird looking dragon, easy to kill
-Kingslime: huge gigantic slime with a crown, does alot of healing and smash attacks, easy though
-bigeye: 10th boss, easy because of its huge ability of healing, doesnt do much but physical attacks, easy enough to beat.
-servant,centasaur, evilarmor: combined together to attack feroiusly with quad hits and major damage with blizzard and many bizzare moves.
-akubar: easy enough to say, 12th boss, kill it with everything you got
-jamaris: easy biurd to kill, does quadhits, 13th boss
-skydragon: 14th boss, a flying dragon with fire atacks like blazemost and fireair.
-durran: 15th boss with powerful magic attacks, but also the 15th boss, has 2 servants, sort of hard to beat and a ninja who is very hard to beat, can't even catch this weird monster, its supposed to be you but in the future as a ninja who does wind spells and hugs blasts of magic.
- the rest of the bosses are from the boss family starting with dracolord and ends with deathmore, i dont know why you dont fight darkdrium, hes the ultimate and rarest you have to have watabou who is also very rare easy to beat,
- next after you beat that you verse your very own sister milayou, with a rainhawk,metalking and coatal
- after comes the last boss in the game, the old grandpa who is a weird freak guy who is very weird, has a powerful divinegon though, takes forever to kill i do about 1040 damage with twinhits and takes about 5 hits with that to kill him, he also has a rosevine which is my second monster besides the darkdrium, and lastly has the goldslime which u have to get to face him, last monster is a eyeder of my threesome, okay.
i really think if you like this game, go and get final fantasy and lors of the rings the third age. okay theress my review and ejoy it.
