Great Game despite reviews.

The game begins very quickly, as you are kind of just thrown into the main story. The cutscenes are great, I think they might rival those of Gears of War. The backgrounds, water, and fire effects are awesome. The lighting is also some of the best that I've ever seen. The controls are a lot easier than reviewers (and Gamespot) would lead you to believe. The 180 turn is not that hard to pull off and flying is relatively easy. You forget about the piece of plastic in your hands while you're flying around trying to kill the enemy ice dragons or whatever. I found myself veering with my controler getting so involved witht eh game that it was hard to turn off my system when it came time to eat or sleep. The animations for the dragon battles are amazing. The camera can be a bit of a problem when it goes flying all over the place leaving you disoriented as to where you are, but other than that, this game is very playable and very enjoyable.
