IGN Ratings for Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies (DS)
Rating Description
out of 10 Click here for ratings guide
7.0 Presentation
Great localization, though a little heavy on the alliteration. It's a shame that the heroes of your party don't develop emotionally as the story unfolds.
8.0 Graphics
Character models are cute and items change their physical appearance (which is quite remarkable), but environments are mostly unoriginal.
7.0 Sound
No voice acting. Music is adequate, though there's a lot of repetition to be found. Towns with completely different styles will have the same "town theme," which can be annoying.
7.5 Gameplay
Somewhat bland battle system. Fortunately the slick multiplayer interface makes Dragon Quest IX a rewarding RPG.
8.5 Lasting Appeal
Alchemy and side quests will keep you playing for a long, long time.
8.0
OVERALL
Impressive
