A lovely 2d/3d hybrid

I have been hearing a lot of complaining about the Dragon Quest graphics. And I have to tell you people, you are all wrong. This game is gorgeous.

Square-Enix has manged to give the game a serious face lift while preserving the old school feel by using traditional 2D sprites and placing them on more modern 3D backgrounds.

On top of that they are using both screen to show towns and dungeons, giving the DS port a distinctive look.
