Weak

The biggest reason this game sucks.

If you've ever seen a car chase movie where one car tries to push another off the road, that's essentially what dragon to dragon battles look like in the air. It's really lame. It can shift into a free-fall sequence where you mash buttons to attack your opponent, but even that feels boring and easy. Every mission your allies tell you exactly what to do every five minutes. The game is very linear which wouldn't matter if the battles weren't so boring.

Lair. What's there to say that hasn't been said before.

Controls:
Every once in a while I forget to tilt the controller and try to fly with the thumb stick.
But not bad

The other problem I have is that all the dragons look a like. I sometimes shot some of my own guys. Also knowing where to go is hard.

Also knowing how to take down a boss or a tuff bad guy is hard. They tell you to take out something but not how. Also they keep yelling at you to take out something but they never help.

The game is worth a rental just to see what they can do with the PS3 controller.

PS - Next time let us have a choice on what controller style we want. Tilt or regular thumb sticks.

Seriously...I have read so many reviews saying the controls suck and the gameplay sucks...blah blah blah. Not true. The controls are innovative and take some time getting used to but they do not suck at all. They are a bit sluggish but not bad enough to say they suck or make me want to not play the game. The storyline is great and really gets your attention. Targeting is somewhat difficult but it doesn't really matter when you have so many things to kill and the goal is to just kill kill kill. The graphics are absolutely beautiful and the dragons are rendered very nicely. I have always been a big fan of dragons and while the dragons in this game are not the classic look or what I am used to they do look very cool. I give this game a 10...they went for something new and different and they succeeded by leaps and bounds by my book.
