Amazon.com Review:
Originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Dragon Warrior III is a Game Boy Color port of one of the all-time classic role-playing games. The game reunites two of Japan's greatest RPG talents in Yuji Horii (story and game) and Akira Toriyama (character design). Toriyama is also known as the creator of the immensely popular Dragon Ball cartoons and comics. A prequel to the first two games in the series, DWIII casts you as the child of a great hero who must defeat an evil demon. New additions to the port include improved graphics, new minigames, new items, and a better translation of the original Japanese dialogue.
The game starts off with a personality test that loosely determines how other characters will react to you. Gameplay is standard RPG fare: exploring, building experience levels, acquiring allies, gaining weapons, and ultimately going after a large monster. There are some interesting minigames to mix things up. The Monster Medals feature adds a collectible aspect to the game. Monsters may leave medals behind after you defeat them. Some monsters only appear during certain times of the day. Getting all the medals unlocks a secret dungeon. You can trade medals via link cable to make things easier. Most RPG fans will love this game, but those raised on modern RPGs might find its combat a bit tedious. This game is compatible with Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance only. --Raymond M. Padilla
Pros: - Classic gameplay
- Excellent monster and character design
- Between 40 to 60 hours of play
Cons: - Battles can get repetitive
- A few character classes borderline on useless
- Graphics appear dark on Game Boy Advance

Rating: - Metal (er, golden) oldie
So, recently I have started to complete all of the Dragon Warrior/Quest titles and I didn't have this one so naturally I made the purchase. I was pretty intrigued by the personality system at first, it makes character creation that much more fun. The story is okay, nothing spectacular per usual, but the nostalgia and memories make up for this. The difficulty is up there and if you're not willing to sink 30 minutes to an hour leveling every once in a while you might find this game not for you. ... Read More

Rating: - A great remake!
They took the original Dragon Warrior III and made it better. I grew up with this series, and I recall the third installment having a lot of bugs. For example, you could end up with a character that wouldn't develope certain stats. I had a mage once, and for about 5 levels, it didn't get any extra hit points with the level ups. By the time I was at level 10 and my warrior could kill my mage with one hit, I realized I should restart before getting too far. By 10th level the second time through, ... Read More
Rating: - Will be that is the difference of each culture?
I am surprised to the opinions that there are some game users that do not like Dragon warrior(Japanese game title:Dragon Quest). Neddless to say, in Japan the most famouse and high quality and great story games are Final Fantasy series and this Dragon Warior series. FF series may be a little high level on the CG. But even now DG warrior series get high value from the broad game users in Japan.
Concretly, the music, graphic and story is that. The person that have made the DW music is Kouichi ... Read More
Rating: - A Classic Game in an Under-Appreciated Series.
First off, let it be known that I have played the initial release of this game when it was on the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System). It was the first truely great RPG I have ever had the fortune to play, keeping in mind that I'd played Dragon Warrior 1 before that (not a fan of 1 vs 1 combat) and that I don't really consider Legend of Zelda an RPG (Action/Adventure in my book). The game was long, fun, and an amazingly deep in story for a game that old. Only problem is it was a rental and I didn't get ... Read More
