All in all this games for renting. Not to say it isn't good but it lacks the quality of a bought game and is easily won.
User Rating: 6.5 | Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire WII
Ok what can I say about this game, first off if you are a true nerd of games or of dragons then this game will satisfy you. If you need hardcore games and long lasting action this game is good for a break. I beat the game within the week I rented it by playing five levels plus a boss each day. The power ups are cool, I mean who wouldn't want to be able to control the limbs and fire of a dragon all conveniently placed within a sword. Also collecting dragon armour adds to the game. Although those abilities are fun the energy drains to fast to use all of them within one power bar. I actually had to restart the level one time because I wasted all my fire energy and couldn't continue without it. The enemies do give a bit of challenge …. Ok they just send hordes of them at you but that still is a challenge with the little control you have. It is nice to swing the wii-mote around to attack but you must be precise with it if you want to do a certain swipe like a stab ( I recommend holding the wii-mote like a dart). The layout and background is a bit nes for me although it looks good it just lacks detail and is too empty. The boss levels are fun though maybe not worth the five gruelling levels to get to them but its interesting to figure out how to defeat each one and see what kind of dragon you get to fight next. Ten bosses in all 5 mini bosses you get your power ups from and 5 huge dragon lords so within the 25 levels it keeps you busy enough that you're not extremely bored. The story behind it is cliché although if they added more story the game would have had to been better and longer so the story is good for the game it is in. The real challenge of the game for me is to last long enough to get energy so that you can wipe out the next blockade of baddies that get sent out (oh and stabbing them gives you fire energy good tip). Since I never got to use the full extent of my wii mote except with my wii sports game it was a nice change of pace. The game has a certain quality to it that makes me like it. Not disappointing but not really something to rave about, still nice to give it to your buds for a try though. I wouldn't put it up with my favourite games like Zelda Mario and Metroid but it holds a special place in my heart almost like an underdog that does it's job without complaints, not the best job ever but the job gets done.
