As you might remember, we have seen some devastating reviews of Dragonriders - Chronicles of Pern in the past. The review at GameNation TV is more favorable, but not enthusiastic. They rate the game 61%, and one thing they complain about is - of course - that, despite of its title, there are no dragons to ride. Here's their summary:
Dragonriders is a difficult game to recommend. It doesn't have enough combat to make it an action adventure and its challenges never reach the level of being proper puzzles or riddles. It does have a great theme, that of an order of protectors facing a new era in which they are no longer needed, but it's poorly explored with mundane quests.
D'Kor is a likeable character and his relationship with the dragon Zenth is an attractive one, but it plays a poor role in solving the game's overall mystery, itself an element kept too far out of reach and therein lies the disappointment |
