Fun, but very buggy and no support

The game could be a lot of fun, however, it is so buggy that it is nearly unplayable on many computers. I wouldn't advocate any kind of piracy, but if you are thinking about buying, I would strongly recommend finding someone with a copy and making sure it will actually run on your computer before spending any money on your own copy.

The game is in serious need of a patch, however, none is forthcoming, and the publisher seems unintersted in fixing the many known problems. If this kind of support is what I can expect from this company, I am unlikely to buy games by this publisher in the future.

Question before purchasing

Is this a 1st person or 3rd person game in terms of visual perspective? I'd like to know before buying this as a gift for someone and I didn't see any reference to the perspective in the description. Thanks in advance for any help!

Great

I love this game. The funnest part is just flying around blowing stuff up. Other reviewers have said it's buggy but I haven't encountered any problems at all on any of my computers. It's a great game.

fun, but dated graphics

why anyone would want to pay the outrageous sums of money that people are asking this for is beyond me since you can get this at compusa for around $10 (or at some compusa's... I've seen a few copies at my local store.. don't know about other stores).

Good game no support at all

I played this at a friends house and loved it. Purchased download that never worked right, so purchased disk. It never worked so after visiting three sites to find support, I have written three letters asking for help and have not been answered in two weeks. At this point I just want my money back or the game working. I will not buy a game from Strategy First again period.

I've played the demo of this and have not yet purchased it but it was alot of fun. It's story was intriguing and the gameplay was often very fun. The teraforming of their graphics engine is outstanding offering the ability to burn down any tree you see and make a crater just about anywhere. it is a 3rd person perspective although if I remember correctly you can switch between multiple view choices. The only issue I found was a little confusion with controls. Although once you get past that this is a great game.

Really good game, for such an old computer

Normally my old Windows 2000 is used for things like Myst III and Masterpiece, but I found out about this game in advance on a dragon forum. My brother and I put togther our allowences to pay for it, and we got it at the local Comp USA. On my old Winows 2000, it loads in reasonable time, a minute or two at most. (including diffrent areas)

The game has three speeds- and personally I use the fastest so I don't have to upgrade my wing speed too much. It doesn't slow my computer if I go too fast, the only exception is the "HOLE" area. (too many mountains or such... I think Terra is this way too.)

My favorite so far is Barroth the magician. He may not be able to raise volcanoes like Annoth, or bring the dead to follow comands at my whim like Morrogh, but he's got quicker acting spells that one can use for mass slaughter. (Whee!)
It's not quite like Spyro, I'll tell you that!
The only thing that peeved me off was that Skarrborr the last "boss" was very easy to beat. and there wasn't much of an end. He just sort of dies, and you can start all over again with someone new...

I hope they come out with a sequel or something to work out that tiny quirk!

This game is original and FUN!

You're a Dragon, how great is that? You get to fly around and eat bad guys and burn things with your dragon breath. This game is awesome! It's a third person game view and you're the dragon. You can swoop down and grab bad guys and start eating them or you can use one of your many magical spells to zap them. You also have your main weapon, dragon breath. You get to choose from 3 different dragons, so this game has a lot of replay value. The game interface is really well done; you basically don't have to use the keyboard much. The graphics are ok, but good enough for this type of game. I would most definitely suggest picking this game up.

Best Dragon game ever!

Not only is this game easy to learn, but you can be the dragon not just ride one. You can eat your enemies when you get hungry, or the townspeople. You can learn cool spells depending on your dragon (choice of 3) like raising a volcano, or raining fire down on your enemies. You can choose to be good or bad, destroying your city and building it up again, or just flying around getting higher levels. You can use your mouse, or just the keyboard and let the automatic pilot take over if tired. In all this is the best dragon game out there, much better then drakan and others.

Works on XP/SP2

I won't go into how great a game this is; others have mentioned the choices/replayabilty etc already.
I just wanted to let those interested know: 1) "yes, it works on XP/SP2" ... 2) you can buy it at strategyfirst for twenty bucks
Being physically disabled/limited manual dexterity doesn't permit me to play any flying games; luckily, Dragons don't crash :-)
I wanted to thank Tiffany Bates(...see AUG 17th post) for her XP fix.
I have been experimenting with my Black Dragon, so I've saved/loaded/deleted etc several times; no problems.
I moved the sound slider(dxdiag) bar to BASIC ... didn't try it where the default had it
All I know is the game works just fine.
Thanks StrategyFirst(... you guys might like Disciples II - Elves)

Thanks Tiffany !
