Dragon quest swords changes the old formula up and makes it into a first person action RPG. Strip practically bare of what made the older titles so great, you use the wii remote to slash at the screen to attack enemies turning combat into a somewhat frustrating, arm failing adventure. The story is poor and the entire game gets old in about 10 minutes, not to mention extremely easy. Not recommending.
