Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire not very spicy
User Rating: 6 | Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire WII
I original had high hopes for this game, but that hope quickly died after about an hour of play. The graphics are only sub-par at best. Honestly I think developers are scared that if they were to push the Wii any harder that it’ll break. The music although fits the theme of the game, sounds pretty cheesy. There is very little voice acting; personally I don’t believe any game this current generation game should have subtitles. Yet I guess there some wisdom that it better to have subtitles then to have terrible voice acting. Still I could over look these flaws because I was more interested in the controls. This is a Wii game after all. Unfortunately it’s only saving grace is its biggest flaw. The way you use your dragon powers is interesting and pretty imaginative. Using two giant hands to pound your enemies into the ground with a tomahawk smash is very satisfying. And using the Dragon Tail Whip gives you that God of War like feel. But the game often misinterprets your motions causing attacks that you didn’t intend. This is especially true with the vertical attacks. This also gives you missed opportunities to set up some killer combos. On top of all of this the game is pretty short. Overall it’s still a pretty fun ride. A bit more tweaking and this game would have really stood out. Instead it ends of being just average. Let’s hope the sequel will fair better.
