Gamesdomain has posted a review of Ubi Studios' Dragonriders - Chronicles of Pern and has ratred it with 3.5/5 points - here's a snip:
DragonRiders is an absolute must for fans of the series - it's as engrossing and complex as the best of Anne McCaffrey's novels, and as a stand-alone story, it's fun and well worth it. While not overly lengthy, the world has plenty of depth, which you'd expect from a 19-novel franchise. There's little innovative in the gameplay, but it's a pleasant mix of traditional adventure game and RPG, with only cutscene and camera niggles getting in the way of pure enjoyment of the developing storyline. Be warned, though, it is a storyline that may perhaps only be fully appreciated by those already enthralled with the world of Pern.
Another can be found at Adventure Archive. They are quite positive about the game (82%), and here's a snippit:
Despite the bugs, e.g. the metal caves cannot be left when visited a second time; in jail the action icon is overlaid by the sneaking icon in such a way, so that you cannot operate a switch to get out (can be recovered on a normal keyboard with the Ins/0-key - however not on my laptop keyboard) - thus despite this bugs, despite uncomfortable small number of save slots, despite the moderate graphics and the not interruptible animations and dialogues - I had a giant fun with Dragon Riders!
The action/skill elements are rare and can be mastered by the average gamer (me too). The excellent told history of the dragon riders really spellbound me a long time by its suspense and originality. A game, I really looked forward to and which kept my thoughts busy, every time I did not play it (here I didn't have to think: "later on you "must" play again Monkey Combat!"). | | Source: Voodooextreme |
