Has anyone else played this on the Nintendo DS?
It's a cute and colourful arcadey type adventure, possibly aimed at a slightly younger audience, but fun to play.
Unfortunately I found it a little short to get through the main story, not as good as Nintendo's own games of this genre in terms of stuff to do and secrets to unlock, and it seems to be a slight departure from the type of game that Squaresoft Square Enix is best known for. (RPG style games, but you already knew that, didn't you?)
There are little bonuses to work towards, such as completing the Monster Museum and such, but no real incentive to do so.
However there are several references to "Dragon Quest: Journey of the Cursed King" in the game, which I thought was cute.
To sum up: A nice diversion for a few days while I was having a break from Final Fantasy III, but it has no real replay value, which is unfortunate. (I consider reply value to be one of the defining characteristics of what makes a great game.)
