I like Dragon Blade Wrath of Fire. I love the idea of a new seris on the wii, but this game didnt turn out how i expected. You start this game off in a visually awful looking room with no dragon weapons to speak of. There are a couple cinematics that bring on an interesting story. So at first thought im thinkin ok well no action yet but the story sounds cool. Then the game starts, and the story ends. Right when you pick up with the gameplay there is hardly any reference to the original storyline. So inbetween the period with no dragon weapons and no story line traveling through awful looking areas mindlessly killing easy enemies, im thinkin, i just blew away 40 bucks. Thankfully slowly but surely the action picks up as well as the difficulty. The game begins to reach the climax now, which last until the end of the game. The only problem with that is that the game is almost over! You begin to aquire dragon weapons from boss fights with kings. Each weapon is a part of the dragon Valathorian lodged in your blade of fire. My personal favorite weapon was the whip-like tail. It added a cool effect and dropped many enemies to the ground at once. But unfortunaley it isnt very powerful, so you will just end up using the ground pound with your dragon arms, the second dragon power you aquire in the game,. Aside from the drab worlds you travel through the fire effects are stunning. Or mabey they only seem that way because everything else is terrible. What ever the case, they look out of place. They look to good for the game. It almost seems as if the developers polished the game a bit more everything could look good too. So with all of the negatives of the game listed now, lets get on to the positives. The best thing about this game, is the feeling of dispatching hords of enemies with the single blow of your dragon powers. It is a very satisfying experience. The boss fights are also very cinematic and act as a level on their own. The dragons look very well done, refering to my statement on how more time in development could have made the whole game look much better. Facing the last dragon is not nearly cinematic as it should be, just another noss fight and when you beat him, the games over. It just ends. All in all i think Dragon Blade Wrath of Fire is an entertaining experience, but is not worth the $40 price tag. For $20 I beleive this game would have recieved fairly good reviews from gamespot and Ign. But releasing a less than 10 hour game with no multiplayer or side quests, exepct for easy to find dragon armor, is inexcusible. BRING BACK THE OLD RATING SCALE 5.7 rounds to 6
