This review is from: Blue Dragon Plus (Video Game)
I honestly do not understand a lot of the hate that this game has been getting. While not in the same ballpark as the original 360 title (how COULD it be?) it is still a fun semi-sequel that tells a fun-filled story and offers a traditional JRPG level of difficulty to the battles.The battle interface may be a mixed bag, but this reviewer found it to be highly intuitive and simple to manipulate. Perhaps on an older model DS, where the touch sensitivity was lacking, would someone encounter an issue, but with a DSi, I noticed no problems at all.
Bottom line, this game deserves better than the lashings it has taken in the press - it is unfair to compare it with a game on a much more advanced dedicated console like the XBox 360 - I think that the developers did a fine job of bringing the game to the small screen.

Quality Real Time Strategy, July 4 2011

Only slightly short, otherwise an excellent game.Exceptionally reminiscent of all of the themes of Blue Dragon without emulating the game play, and a fine continuation of the Blue Dragon storyline.
Commanding small squads is a bit awkward, because selecting them is fairly unpleasant. In the same vein, choosing characters and abilities is a time consuming task, but necessary for victory, so you will spend less time commanding your troops and more time selecting and reorganizing your units to use their overpowered abilities.
The ability to shift units around for free after every battle nullified the purpose of having multiple squads, and just allows you to complete the game more quickly.
Three games for the DS have done this type of game really well. Lost Magic, Blue Dragon, and Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. Lost Magic focuses on the casting of abilities, while Revenant Wings focuses on troop command. Blue Dragon offers an experience which is between these two. If you enjoyed the story, music, and characters from Blue Dragon, you will likely enjoy this game.
