Great storyline, amazing graphics, and regardless of what you heard the controls work quite well once your used to them.

I won't say this game is perfect because the truth is it's not. The game is far to short and the fact that there are time limits on missions to get higher scores actually make it a bit shorter if you are going for higher medals. But alot of the complaints I've heard about controls just seemed like people were whining that they couldn't get it down. After the very first training mission I had it down to where I could fly my dragon. Following that it took about three missions for me to get mostly all the controls down. I wasn't perfect with them even at the end, but you can expect to have the controls to a game down completly when it's of this length, and the fact that the control scheme is a completly new thing to the playstation. Now in terms of the story, it was done very well. The only downside to it was that it seemed to move along to fast. Conspriacies arise in like the first hour or two of the game.
All in all, you might want to rent it to make sure you won't get pissed at the controls, and the fact that the game story can be completed in one day with no problems. But truthfully this is a game that I can see myself playing until i get all the gold medals and then after that playing it during the time i waiting for other new games.

~btw~ I forgot to mention that for being the first game to try and use the six axis to such an extent with this type of game, factor 5 did quite well.
