Best Dragon game ever!

Not only is this game easy to learn, but you can be the dragon not just ride one. You can eat your enemies when you get hungry, or the townspeople. You can learn cool spells depending on your dragon (choice of 3) like raising a volcano, or raining fire down on your enemies. You can choose to be good or bad, destroying your city and building it up again, or just flying around getting higher levels. You can use your mouse, or just the keyboard and let the automatic pilot take over if tired. In all this is the best dragon game out there, much better then drakan and others.

xp crash

I just got this game a couple days ago and can't stop playing it. It's just so much fun to fly around and blow up all the monsters! The only thing that is bad is that this game does cause XP to crash, like the other reviewer stated. However, this is very easy to fix. After installing the game, go to Start, click on Run, and type in dxdiag. Then, click OK and when it comes up, at the top go to Sound and change the Hardware Sound Acceleration Level to Basic Acceleration, and then click on Save All Information. That's it! You're ready to play a great game!

Dragon

Before I get into my review, I'd like to say something: sometimes, on Windows XP, the game crashes. To learn how to fix this, go read Tiffany Bates's review. Okay, now that we got that over with... In this game, as you probably all ready know, you get to be one of the three dragons. Here are the overly simplified summaries: Barroth is a magician; he specializes in spells and speed. Annoth is the somewhat fast and powerful barbarian of the trio, focusing on his natural attacks rather then spells or regeneration. Morrogh is the slowest of the three. He focuses on regeneration, which is basically how fast you heal. His spells deal with raising the dead, terraforming (raising mountains, craters, ect.), summoning creatures, or poisoning his foes. Graphic-wise, this game is standard. Nothing special or remarkable except the dragons, who are very shiny and greatly detailed. To learn more about them, read Delphinidae's (Delph's) review. You can switch between first person view and third. Unlike most action-based RPG's, this game is NOT about killing everything that moves. Okay, that's part of it, but it involves strategy and cunning more then anything else. Your dragon has certain stats (Health, Fly Speed, Regeneration, Mana Flow, Breath Capacity, Fire Power) that take a certain amount of experience points to raise, depending on which dragon you chose. Because of this, it has an almost unlimited replay ability. My favorite feature is not where you get to fly down, grab your enemies, and eat them alive, but is rather the unimaginable sense of freedom you get when playing this game. The game does a stupendous job with where you're able to go; you can fly into deep crevices or soar high above the land, to the point where your wings touch the lowest of the clouds. The day, sunset, and night transitions are wonderfully executed as well. The gradual change of color and sky is, surprisingly, actually breathtaking. Another noteworthy feature is the fact that you can change the time. Example, you can speed up to 200% or go in slow motion, somewhat like in the Matrix. If there was one downfall to this game, I'd say it was the voice acting. Completely monotone. But luckily you don't have to listen - you can go to the Audio option and turn down the voice to 0 if you want. The storyline is also quite intriguing and the music, while somewhat repetitive, fits the game well. Something I found odd is that the demo (or at least from the place I downloaded the demo from) has different music then the actual game. To make it simple; download the demo. Like it, buy it.

Great

I love this game. The funnest part is just flying around blowing stuff up. Other reviewers have said it's buggy but I haven't encountered any problems at all on any of my computers. It's a great game.

This game is original and FUN!

You're a Dragon, how great is that? You get to fly around and eat bad guys and burn things with your dragon breath. This game is awesome! It's a third person game view and you're the dragon. You can swoop down and grab bad guys and start eating them or you can use one of your many magical spells to zap them. You also have your main weapon, dragon breath. You get to choose from 3 different dragons, so this game has a lot of replay value. The game interface is really well done; you basically don't have to use the keyboard much. The graphics are ok, but good enough for this type of game. I would most definitely suggest picking this game up.

Works on XP/SP2

I won't go into how great a game this is; others have mentioned the choices/replayabilty etc already. I just wanted to let those interested know: 1) "yes, it works on XP/SP2" ... 2) you can buy it at strategyfirst for twenty bucks Being physically disabled/limited manual dexterity doesn't permit me to play any flying games; luckily, Dragons don't crash :-) I wanted to thank Tiffany Bates(...see AUG 17th post) for her XP fix. I have been experimenting with my Black Dragon, so I've saved/loaded/deleted etc several times; no problems. I moved the sound slider(dxdiag) bar to BASIC ... didn't try it where the default had it All I know is the game works just fine. Thanks StrategyFirst(... you guys might like Disciples II - Elves) Thanks Tiffany !

Really good game, for such an old computer

Normally my old Windows 2000 is used for things like Myst III and Masterpiece, but I found out about this game in advance on a dragon forum. My brother and I put togther our allowences to pay for it, and we got it at the local Comp USA. On my old Winows 2000, it loads in reasonable time, a minute or two at most. (including diffrent areas) The game has three speeds- and personally I use the fastest so I don't have to upgrade my wing speed too much. It doesn't slow my computer if I go too fast, the only exception is the "HOLE" area. (too many mountains or such... I think Terra is this way too.) My favorite so far is Barroth the magician. He may not be able to raise volcanoes like Annoth, or bring the dead to follow comands at my whim like Morrogh, but he's got quicker acting spells that one can use for mass slaughter. (Whee!) It's not quite like Spyro, I'll tell you that! The only thing that peeved me off was that Skarrborr the last "boss" was very easy to beat. and there wasn't much of an end. He just sort of dies, and you can start all over again with someone new... I hope they come out with a sequel or something to work out that tiny quirk!
