User Rating: 3.5 | Lair PS3

Don't believe the hype, the motion controls aren't as bad as people are making them out to be. If you're impatient and want to fly an animal like a fighter jet, then it'll be hard for you. You have to be smooth, and delicate, and the dragon will follow your commands quite nicely.

The game itself reminds me a lot of a USA or Sci-fi Channel movie. D-list everything, cliche's at every turn, nobody cares, *click*. If you know what a campy movie is, then this is a campy game. On a standard TV, even with Component cables, it looked horrible, rainbows everywhere. The whole time I played, I just wanted to play Panzer Dragoon on the Sega Saturn to redeem myself.
