This is a great game and if you see that NOBODY looked your reviews, maybe you shouldn't be s sensitive. It's possibly the best video game I have ever even played so I would give it a 10/10!!!!!!!
im sorry bit i totally disagree with u when u said that playin the game on their on is a snooze i myself actually play the game on my own and its really fun
I saw this game in a magazine and the gave it 5/5 so i went to the store and bought it. I bought it 2010 and now I'm done with the main quest line the game lasted so long and was so good. Then my friends at school bought it and then play'd together fighting against slimes and legacy bosses. A brilliant masterpiece that you just can't stop playing! 10/10
@ Arijahn767 I think that subtraction makes sense. A level grinding RPG isn't as fun without decent characters to get behind. The world itself isn't exactly a character like it is in something like Skyrim or Fallout.
wtf? they gave it an 8? Dragon quest 9 sucks so hard... I only played half of it and then i couldn't finish it because the story is stupid and the game is just boring.
im sorry but this game ist just bad. I like all the other ones but this one sucks
So different can it be viewed. I played every other DQ and IX is just the best of 'em all. So far - after 550 hours - there's still plenty to do in this masterpiece. Maybe you should've completed the main-story, because after that the game really just begins! :-)
My friends called me a dragon quest loser. Its their loss they skipped a perfect rpg. :) but boy is it hard! :(. Not to sound noobish, this is the first dragon quest game I own.
Huff! This is why I hate IGN. Stop trashing perfectly well-made and fun games!! Everyone likes Dragon Quest IX anyway!! It's what got me interested in the series.
Totally forgot to mention all the extra post-game quests. This is truly one of the longest RPGs I've played for that factor...in fact, what am I saying? I'm still playing the damn thing, and loving every moment of it :D I also will have to say, the multiplayer is EXTREMELY fun if you can find someone else to play with you.
what a loa of crap. DQ IX is one of the best games i have ever played. The battles are great, and what is wrong with Generic Heroes? Most games these days have them. i would have gave this a 10!
Hey can anyone help me? I'm thinking of getting this game but I've not played any of the other dragon quests before. Will this matter much or is this game and entire new story and doesn't follow on from the others? also if each game is it's own story which dragon quest is the best for ds?
@MrBewsh Get this game. it is amazing. It does not link onto any other DQ games, exept after you finish it and fight legacy bosses, which are bosses from older games. No DQ knowledge needed.
why is there more likes than dislikes?this review sucks plain and simple you people need to put more dislikes on this review not more likes.449 likes and 119 dislikes ?WTF it should be 119 likes and 449 dislikes, everyone should thumbs down this video, plus there are other reviewers on you tube that give it a better rating, by giving this review more likes than dislike you support IGN, dont support them, give more dislikes, your not disliking the game .your disliking the review
What a tool, this is how every Dragon Quest game's combat is. They've always been simple and addictive. Loved this game, but still like VIII the most. This was my second favorite game of 2010, with #1 going to another portable game, Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker. Great year for portable gaming.
I freaking hate ign reviews sometimes, they said for a Pokemon ds remake of a game boy version, they said a negative was same Pokemon. WTF too generic? What about cod? Its just point and click for gods sake!
(1) He talks like this is a multiplayer game, when it is a single-player game at its core.
(2) He says nothing about the fun character creation / dress-up and vocation systems and instead says the characters are all generic.
(3) He says nothing about the unique story and all the interesting characters you meet (which would make his "generic characters" statement less credible)
(4) The battle system is quite different from DQ's traditional style.
this guy is a moron, basically you are complaining on turn based rpg? WHAT IS DQ WITHOUT THAT? and then you say it's boring if you play by yourself well I never got bored.
@SmashMan108 because Akira Toriyama the animator of dragonball and dragonball z,made the art design with all dragon quest games,and blue dragon games.
IGN really your rating sucks... this is one of the best games for DS and you rated it only 8 ??? WTF did they not pay you enough money for a good review? stupid people.
Well, Celestrians must be nice and follow orders, or rather they don't know anything but that. Because of that, it makes the main character more dynamic than static, as you implied.
a bit of a snooze? yeah i fall asleep playing videogames all the time... its a pretty healthy thing to do. ( what the hell is this dude talking about?)
im still only playing dq 8 cause when i got i said i will only get another dq game after i beat this one i got it 2 years ago and im still playing it!!!! !"£"££$% is up with it its so freaking long i beat the main boss and theres still so much to do its like a never ending game if anyone has ever beaten every single detail in it let me know
Here! Hello, I did it, and I think many others did so, too. It's pretty normal for a Dragon Quest-Game to continue after the main-story, but compared to what's going on in DQ 9 after the end, every other game looks small and tiny. DQ 8 is the second-best RPG I ever played, but DQ 9 is just the BEST! Go and get it, your life will be too short to wait any longer! ;-)
(Time I played DQ 8 to get everything: 140 hours. Time I played DQ 9 so far (and still not finished):514 hours.)
Best videogame on earth. The developers must be crazy to put so much content into one tiny cartridge. One and a half year after release and over 500 hours of playing this gem still has so much to offer. CRAZY!!! :-)
playing by yourself is a snooze?? WTF is wrong with this idiot. I just bought the game two days ago and I can't stop playing it.....I'm waking up in the middle of the night with withdrawals. speaking of which gotta get back to my "boring" game.
I don't wanna defend cod but a rpg does rely a bit more on the main characters than a fps does xD. If a rpg doesn't have any supporting characters then the game can become pretty lame
yea true that dq is not a co-op game that was a big thing i didnt like about dq9, i am content with dq being a solo endeavor always have been it just works, its like if elder scrolls was co-op it wouldnt work its more of a solo type game.
yes i am a dq fan for life, but i really wish they would bring back dq 3 r in america dragon warrior 3 gamestyle honestly thats still my favorite of all time it just had this constant sense of mystery like you never knew what you might find and so many secrets it was ridiculous.
This game was a disappointment for me. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic game on its own, but as a Dragon Quest title, it failed to captivate me. It had no memorable or likable characters, something I really liked about Dragon Quest 8. The story was really lame and doesn't compare at all to DQ8. I also hated that it was multiplayer-centric. No one I know likes Dragon Quest (they all hate exp grinding lol) so I never got to play co-op mode. Single player mode felt very lacking.
Y'know what's funny.....He said that they're only going to show you the beginning of the game to avoid spoilers....but I'm about 18-19 hours in and the beginning has the most story or the main plot. The other hours are sub-plots (which I love).
@KingdomHearts499 NOO! It's extremely fun solo! It's only boring if you first played multiplayer; then it'll feel less fun. I never touched multiplayer and it's probably one of the best DS games out there/I've played.
@TitanicNeoTyphlosion You kidding me? leveling up was pretty easy in this one. I had the feeling metal slime hunting was waaaay easier in IX then in others. Also.. the final boss was one of the easiest final bosses i ever fought. But thats probably because it was fun the do quests and became strong really quick^^
it's not boring to play solo. i have it. play it by myself all the damn time. i think it's great. hell i've already beaten it a couple of times and i'm still hooked on it. Worst thing you can do is judge a game by it's reviews. play it for yourself then decide. might surprise yourself.
Iv'e never played a dragon quest game. So you could call me a newbie, but i'm really interested in the series now and i'm thinking of buying this. Is this a good game for someone completely new to the series? And can you do multiplayer with ds download play on this game or does someone else have to have the same game aswell? :D
i love dq9 and was very into the story and i think its cool that the story keeps going through the extra quests. i hope that the next dragon quest will be along the same lines or even better, the hero in dq9 could train the hero in dq10 or something
Omg >_< I just got the game today and planned to play for like 30 minutes and the next thing I know 4 hours passed. It's super addicting, tons of fun, love the characters customization, great story line, and npc interactions! :D And wtf at the review, he disprove of the battle system? -_- I think the battle system fits Dragon Quest!
this is the worst review i have every seen i have the game what u say is a load of bullshit I restart this game 4 times and its still fun this game is worth taking about.
I like the combat/battling stuff. I like that it's simple and easy to use, but it's fun to use different moves and stuff, especially the Coup de Grace. I have to say, this is one of my favorite games. I would give it a 9.5 only because it doesn't have more than one save slot, and the main story was pretty short. On the other hand, I absolutley loved The graphics, plot, (Even though it was short lol) eqiupment, ect. I also higly like the fact that you could create you own party and character. :D
I would say Dragon Quest IX, just because it has such massiv content... really like never-ending if you wanna get everything (I played over 450 hours so far). But DQ 4,5 and 6 are also brilliant. Best is you get every DQ-game for the DS (and every other DQ for every other console as well). :-)
Fuck these IGN reviewers, if it's not CoD it's not up to their standards. This game is unbelievably fun and addictive in both single player and multiplayer.
Fuck every type of criticism, this game is fun, and definitely can compete with games like FFXIII, and has an addictive, fun appeal, similar to DQVIII. period.
I see it different. FF XIII was a big disappoitment - great graphics, but too straight-away. DQ IX is - like every DQ-game - just pure fun with a perfect battle-systems, tons of things to do in a big world where you can travel wherever you want. So, I played 90 hours of FF XIII but in the meantime over 420 (!!!) hours of DQ IX. Cheers...
Wow. This is incredibly inaccurate on many points.
I have to say that IGN was never my favourite source of reviews, and it's getting worse.

i love dq9 and was very into the story and i think its cool that the story keeps going through the extra quests. i hope that the next dragon quest will be along the same lines or even better, the hero in dq9 could train the hero in dq10 or something

Omg >_< I just got the game today and planned to play for like 30 minutes and the next thing I know 4 hours passed. It's super addicting, tons of fun, love the characters customization, great story line, and npc interactions! :D And wtf at the review, he disprove of the battle system? -_- I think the battle system fits Dragon Quest!

Epic game o give it a 9.5 one of the best ds games ever
TheJ1jy 7 months ago
I like the combat/battling stuff. I like that it's simple and easy to use, but it's fun to use different moves and stuff, especially the Coup de Grace. I have to say, this is one of my favorite games. I would give it a 9.5 only because it doesn't have more than one save slot, and the main story was pretty short. On the other hand, I absolutley loved The graphics, plot, (Even though it was short lol) eqiupment, ect. I also higly like the fact that you could create you own party and character. :D

which is better. Dragon Quest IX or Dragon Quest VI????
JazzyBabee10 7 months ago
@JazzyBabee10
I would say Dragon Quest IX, just because it has such massiv content... really like never-ending if you wanna get everything (I played over 450 hours so far). But DQ 4,5 and 6 are also brilliant. Best is you get every DQ-game for the DS (and every other DQ for every other console as well). :-)

@tf2proffesional I guess we'll agree to disagree. But not trying to be only for PS3, just at least for some other console besides DS.

Fuck every type of criticism, this game is fun, and definitely can compete with games like FFXIII, and has an addictive, fun appeal, similar to DQVIII. period.

ZackStrife101 7 months ago
@ZackStrife101
I see it different. FF XIII was a big disappoitment - great graphics, but too straight-away. DQ IX is - like every DQ-game - just pure fun with a perfect battle-systems, tons of things to do in a big world where you can travel wherever you want. So, I played 90 hours of FF XIII but in the meantime over 420 (!!!) hours of DQ IX. Cheers...
