 Ok game that could have been better much better November 13, 2007
This game will definitely frustrate the gamer who expects more bang for their buck. I never seen the movie but I imagine the game captured it well.
Let's see what we got here for the Cube:
Graphics
6 out 10-Not bad but not much detail in the way the characters look. You do get various clips from the movie itself.
Sound
5 out 10-Sound was ok, the music and the speech does tend to repeat itself which can get annoying
Gameplay
4 out 10- Definitely the game's weakest suits. There could have been more powerups. Some levels seem stacked against you unless you literally play them perfectly.
Another thing that annoyed is the missions that you lead the convoy. That started off fun but there should have been more flexibility. For example, if you stray to off the path, you lose, if one of your men die, you lose. Again they don't allow much leeway here and this cuts into the fun.
The Storm Front level and Bullfight which started of as fun levels became annoying because of this. No matter how you configure the pad you are likely to become frustrated with the controls.
One fun thing here is that the halfway point of the game (Origin of the Species) you can play as the Dragon here.
Closing Thoughts- Well not much replay value here. All I saw a message about clips from the movie and a music video. A bare bones type of game which is a shame considering it's based on a movie.
It's definitely a game that I would rent first and if I really enjoyed then buy.

This is an incredibly awesome game. It's hectic, challenging, and a lot of fun. When I just need to wind down, nothing takes it off like shooting down evil creatures (or pesky humans) that are trying to make you exinct.
The game starts with the human missions. These follow the movie very closely. The missions range in their objectives, usually reguiring you to protect or escort a group of other vehicles. The game takes about to the third level before you really get the hang of things. Once you can keep from dying to much, it's really fun. Your rockets and such some in limited quantities, but there's never any reason for your finger to leave the minigun. This game truly throws you into the role of a dragon fighter as you battle to keep yourself and your race alive.
Part of the way through the game, the dragon missions become available. These arae a bit less challenging, but a LOT of fun. You are the undisputed scourge of the skies, and tanks, harriers, choppers, battleships, towers, and trains will all fall before your fire breathing might.
The game has great replay value for a few reasons. After completing a mission, you will recieve a rank and a medal. You can range from no medal, to bronze, silver, gold, and last, platinum. These are awarded based on enemies destroyed, allies destroyed, hit percentage and the like. Trying to get the higher medals is challenging even for very experienced gamers. As well as that, half the fun is just riding around in a tank (or a jeep, a buggy, or a firetruck) and blowing things out of the sky. Even throwing some fireballs down on human armaments is good for some fun.
Over all, this is an excellent game, and I highly recommend it. But, for anybody who this would bother, some mild language like "He**" and "Dam*" are in the game, being spoken very rarely by some of your teammates.

This game is one that can be enjoyed by most people that enjoy any sort of action game that involves driving an shooting. However, I absolutely loved the movie, which means I liked the game even more. There is nothing as enjoyable as being able to immerse yourself into the role of a character that was in a movie you enjoyed. Where else do you have to opportunity to slay dragons or be a dragon? The controls could use a bit of work, but overall it's a very enjoyable game. Bottom Line: B+

This game was a lot of fun! As soon as I started it I got right into it, and in the next six hours I beat it. Then started again! If you like car games and gun games this is the game to buy. I would have given it 5 stars if the controls would have been a tid-bit better. I don't understand why this game is rated M on this website when it's rated T on my game. Plus the game can't be rated M when there's nothing that bad in it. My advise to you is to go buy this game, grab a pop and a bag of chips and go play it! The word "sweetness" pretty much sums up this game.
