Puns

The game was somewhat enjoyable. The soulutions to the puzzles were to hard to think of (who would think of a gondola as a hot air balloon basket?). The worst thing about this game would have to be the terrible puns. They nearly drove me out of my mind. Not one of them was even mildly funny. I think this game was worth the money but not exactly a terrific deal.

When I first played this game, I was completely blown away. Everything about this game is perfect. The graphics are great, the music is spellbinding, the plot is riveting, the characters seem to have there own life, and, as a bonus, there is much more than one way to finish the game.

This game also gives you freedom of choice, which is something you don't see much of in games these days. You can design your main character by giving him skills in different areas (such as swimming, climbing, and magic-casting), you can accomplish the seven tasks in any way you want to as long as you finish them all, and you can choose what profession your character has (Wizard, warrior, theif or paladin). You can buy whatever you want as long as you have the right amount of money, develope relationships with whoever you want, and best of all, your choices determine how the game ultimately ends!

Besides the freedom of choice, you can also explore several different locations on a plethora of exotic locales, including (but not limited to) a grove of tree-women (dryads), the lost city of Atlantis, and the beautiful city of Silmaria, where most of the action takes place.

Overall: this game is great. There is no reason to skip over it. What are you waiting for? Buy this game NOW!

The perfect ending to the series

I like this game very much, although I agree with what most of the other reviewers said about this game, even those that didn't like it.

This game is as much fun to play and as engrossing as any of Sierra's best games. Right now, I am replaying this game after it has been out for a few years, and I can see it with new eyes. I feel that Sierra couldn't have made a better sequel to the series, and they have avoided both selling out and making an entirely unmarketable game.

Incidentally, I have also found out that an independent company called 'Tierra' is creating a remake of QFG2, which may be my favorite of the series. Another group is making an independent sequel called 'Hero 6.' Maybe the series isn't dead after all!

Anyway, if you like the classic adventure games, this may be the last of them. I personally think Dragon Fire ends the series very well.

A Fine Finale for a Fine Series

Perhaps one of the last quality adventure games Sierra will put out, this game epitomizes the principle that Sierra's game designers, in this case the Coles, are quite proficient at captivating the imaginations of gamers everywhere. While over half of the game's characters are linked to the previous games in the series, it is not necessary to have played the predecessors to understand the interface of QFG5; The interface is actually quite different than the previous games. The fighting sequences consist of a "point and click" interface versus the keyboard strokes of the earlier games. This is the only noticable dichotomy, however. The story is up to par with what I have come to expect. The graphics are rendered quite well, creating brilliant scenary and animation. It could be argued that the musical score from the game outdoes the graphics, which is some of the best original instrumental music I've heard in a long time. The game takes place on the island of Marete, which has fallen under the threat of a dangerous asassin who has killed the king. The council of Marete decides that they will replace their leader by holding tournaments to determine a worthy successor. Our hero has entered this contest, and must complete a series of quests to prove himself worthy of the crown, while trying to catch a murderer along the way. The only thing that disappointed me about this game was that it will be the last one. If you have ever imagined about battling fantastic creatures and heroic acts, I reccomend this game to you. For a minor price it is a great adventur.

I saw the game and had to try it!

Since I never played a fantasy game by Sierra before this one, I figure this was a great one to try. Quest for Glory: Dragon Fire has three man character types to choose from and I loved trying them all out. Although my favorite character type is the Theif that knows some magic. I licked begining able to meet the different people on the game, I also like the fact that you can really hate the bad guys (if you can figure out who they are). I just think that it is a great game to play at any time. (now if only I could find the first four games to go with the fifth, I'd be doing great). please email if you know them

Be A Hero. Save people. Rescue Maidens. See far-away lands.

This series is just wonderful. I was hooked from the QfGI when it was Heroes Quest. The mix of humor and multiple plot lines and multiple possibilities with the added flavor of an RPG makes this series a masterpiece. Try at least one of them and see if you dont find a part of you wanting to find out where your Hero got his mail-order Heroes manual so you can go kick a little demon a**.

A great play!

I loved it! I found it to be the most beautiful of all the Quest For Glory games. The graphics are wonderful as is the story. It'll take you on a ride and get you ready to play again and again.

Great end to the best RPG ever!

A lot of people didn't like Quest for Glory 5 when it was released, but I love it. Yeah, the first time I played it, the controls were different than the previous four games, and it took some getting used to, but once I got used to it, I was in love. It's got a nice, tie-up-the-loose-ends-happily-ever-after feeling about it. And of course, it's got all the famous QG humor...including the bad puns and the moose head. I have played this game I don't know how many times, especially now that you can download a patch for XP (it works great).
