Dragon Warrior reviewReviewed January 08, 2005Jason Venter says: "Step outside the castle and you might make it fifteen or twenty steps. Or you might make it one step. Or two, or three.

Dragon Warrior reviewReviewed November 23, 2005Rob Hamilton says: "Posing as the son of the great warrior Erdrick (who wasn’t great enough to wipe out the resident Dragonlord threat threatening the land of Alefgard), he is not only handy with a sword, but also with magic.

Dragon Warrior reviewReviewed August 04, 2009randxian says: "While Dragon Warrior can at times be a slow grind fest, the game exudes an atmosphere that is charming, yet filled with hidden dangers and secrets at every turn. It may take several sleepless nights and plenty of pots of Eight O' Clock Coffee to make significant progress, but the rewards are well worth the effort. " |

Dragon Warrior reviewReview date unknownsgreenwell says: "Should Dragon Warrior be graded differently because it's such an old game? It's an interesting argument, but it's not particularily valid. The NES is so antiquated that better RPG's can be acquired for it." |

Dragon Warrior reviewReviewed March 01, 2003whelkman says: "Enix's Dragon Warrior never was a great game, but over the years it has accumulated legendary status. The only legendary aspect of the game was Nintendo Power's promotional giveaway juggernaut. As a result, undue claims have garnered, from the inane (''This is the game which turned the crank of the RPG machine!'') to the just plain incorrect (''This is the first ever RPG!''). Still, Dragon Warrior is the first Japanese style role playing game to be released in the United States, and, due to i..." |
