REVIEW: Dragon Warrior/Quest IV 1992 NES
- Picture not available -	By: Enix Type: RPG Players: 1 Difficulty: Normal

    The later series of most nes games seem to be just a repetition of earlier nes games. But in this particular cartridge, Dragon Warrior IV, the story is not only different, but better than the earlier ones. Dragon Warrior IV consists of five fun, challenging chapters that not only requires skill, but also intelligence. In the first Chapter, a warrior named Ragnar ventures out to find an answer to a rather puzzling mystery of the lost townschildren. Here players experiment with different weapons and armor. This chapter is made to help players gain experience. The challenge is not quite present in this chapter, but the excellent graphics is evident. In chapter 2, Alena takes an adventure. The excitement level is not yet that of a roller-coaster ride, but it's getting there. The player finds out about more gossip in this chapter, and experience also develops. Alena enters a rather interesting tournament and I thought the music was rather up-beat. In chapter 3, my favorite chapter, Taloon goes out to enhance his power and fortune, so he can become the best merchant in the world. I loved this chapter, because of the many towns and many games in the casino.
    Not only is Dragon Warrior IV a game of skill, it is a game of luck as well. Taloon also owns a shop and you can sell items to your fellow townspeople. Chapter 4 was rather interesting as the music changes to a somewhat annoying folksong. But in this chapter, spells come into play. The challenge level increases as a player makes it to level 5; a combination of the previous four chapters. In this chapter of Dragon Warrior IV, all the characters come into the story, and so do you. You search for the true hero, and the enemy. You play games of luck and skill, and you also gain more experience with difficult battles. At the end, you feel relieved, gladdened, and saddened that Dragon Warrior IV is over. But is it over? I know I will always play it over and over. - Patels 98%
