I believe this really is a non-issue here...
1) These so-called "fan reviews" are from the amazon.co.jp....you don't even have to show proof of purchase to get the game; where is the legitimacy of such reviews then?
2) If many of the reviews are made BEFORE the game was released, do you think they would know how the game really is?
3) Like others have said, this generation has been the generation of bitching and moaning...we allow a minuscule percentage of loud-mouth gamers scream on the top of their lungs about their hatred of such-and-such game and the funny part is...is that we actually listen to them.
and finally 4) The game is easy? The game is childish looking? Of course it is! I will admit that I am not its biggest fan (have only owned and finished DQ8), but from what I remember, it is a pretty easy game to play. In fact, that may be why I love the game so much...there was a lot of depth, and it is easy to play! And from what I understand, DQ gets its graphics style from the illustrator of the Dragon Ball series...and if my memory serves me right, it wasn't known for its "uber-realistic graphics"...
I know we all want to know how the game really is and everything...but when a game as popular as DQ goes to a system that is deemed to be "less ideal," despite being popular worldwide, expect a lot of fodder to come. If the game really turned out to be bad, then so be it. Just don't be gullible enough to trust fanboy reviews.
