Almost nothing to do with the film.

I picked up the game because my family had enjoyed the movie.
The game has virtually nothing to do with the film. It's as if the developers had been given nothing but the title and art assets and were told to go make a game... which was probably the case.
On top of that, the game just isn't very good. There are two core gameplay mechanics: dragon versus dragon duels, and minigames. There's really not much variety in either. The only way to get XP for your dragons is to participate in the duel training and the minigames, and to maximize your XP you need to repeat each training mission four times... for each of your four dragons. Likewise, you need to repeat the minigames on each of your four dragons. It gets extremely repetitive.
There isn't even any flight, outside of a single minigame. You don't get to interact with your dragons in any real way, except during the duels (training or tournament) and minigames.
Terrible game.
