DoR is slightly better then it's sucseeder, but beings enough to the table to get a worthy score of 8.0.

I was only a couple of weeks ago, where I went to my freinds house and started playing DoR. It was a cool game with mechanics as smooth as a baby's bottom. The story mode is a major improvment from DoR 2 suprisingly. The sad part of season mode is that VO's still weren't introduced. The characters look awesome as they did on DoR 2, but the character models still need a bit of improvment untill they can be considered up to par with today's standards. Other then that, there are no more issues that I can think of that drag the game doen in anyway. My reccomendation is to pick the game up and enjoy it, and be glad you don't have the second one.
