not as bad a gamespot says.
User Rating: 7 | Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire WII
i just finished this game last night. and i enjoyed playing through it, it was satisfying to beat it, and i had a good time with it. Anyway, this is a action adventure title, but a company called Landho. i think this is there first game, you can tell right off the bat , that this is a bugdet title. The graphics aren't great, and there a few prombles with the combat system. the voice acting in the game isn't that great either, but there not to much of it, so its not that bad. The story is the average story of revenge, basically a dragon comes to earth to help the people of the earth, but 5 kings double cross him, and seal him within a sword. your just is to find the sword, then find 5 pieces to put the dragon back together, so he can be freed from the sword. The battle system works like this, you swing the wii mote to attack, if you swing left your character swings left, if you swing up, your character swings up, and so on. also you have powers granted to you from the dragon, you get wings that help you defend against attacks, and jump higher, you get a dragon tail that makes your sword turn in to a whip, and many other neat powers. the game is about 6 hours long, not to long of a game, but most action games aren't. so the game plays out in stages, you start a stage, and basically you just have to follow the map until you reach then end, all the while, you are fighting enemies, breaking object, and collecting armor shards(ever 6 you earn gives you a new piece of armor.) you can also go back and redo a stage if you missed something. The boss fights in this game are what made it fun for me. some are real easy and other are pretty diffucult. The pros. of this game are, theres not many games like this on the wii right now, it has a fun battle system, that lets you be creative with your attacks, it allows you to go back to previous beaten stages if you missed items, the boss battles are alot of fun. the cons of this game are, the graphics are bad, the voice acting is bad, sometimes when your attacking you don;t quite do what you want your chatacter to do, sometimes there are cheap death(gamespot metioned this) some of the boss battles are longer then they should be. So in the end, this is not a bad and, but its not a great game either. it has its flaws but its still fun to play. it has some slight replay value, because you can re play stages, but because the game is short, its had to recommend buying this one, if you really want to play a decent action game go for, support the new gaming company Landho, but if you just dont have the cash, just at least rent this one and try it out.
