I've read a few rewiews of this game and I think it looks like a great game but I'm not sure if I should buy it. I liked DQ8 for PS2 and I'm hoping this will be as good. can you tell me if it that good?

This game is definitely worth buying if you're a big rpg player or a fan of the Dragon Quest series. As it is a much earlier entry than DQ8, there are going to be numerous differences, such as a lack of charcter customization (everyone has there class/role, and there are no skill points). If you're really unsure, try picking it up used or rent it first. As far as being as good as DQ8, that's going to be debatable. I'd say it's not as good as DQ8, but IMO, the only game in the series better than 8 was 3. It's still a good game, though, and should tide you over until 9 comes out on the DS.

I'd say it's worth a buy if your into JRPGs like I am. This is actually the first DQ I've ever played and I really like it, so take from that what you will.

Thanks I'm quite sure I'll buy this game at some point, once I've saved up enough money for it.
