What an experience!   December 28, 2002

Reign of Fire is a fantastic game! It has great graphics and intense gameplay. The developers have created a fantastic sense of battlefield carnage and chaos against marauding dragons. In latter levels, YOU get to be a marauding dragon!

There are some things you need to know about the controls, which has gotten some bad press. The default is "simple" control configuration. Change this before you even start playing! In this configuration, you aim AND steer with the left thumbstick, and accelerate and decelerate with A and B. The right thumbstick does nothing. We will get nowhere with this set-up.

On the other hand, the "advanced" set-up steers with the left thumbstick, and aims with the right. This makes the controls very intuitive. Another thing you might want to do is turn down the auto-aim to zero. Otherwise, the aiming cursor does a lot of drifting, which can be very annoying and make it more difficult.

I have very few complaints about the game. The dialogue can get quite repetitive at time, such as when you are not in the spot you need to be. You hear the same sentence repeated multiple times.

Hahahaha! Burn humans! That's what you may end up screaming when you play this game. Fantastic graphics, combined with great gameplay make this a brilliant game. Some nice touches, including the very good fire effects. Best aspect: playing as the dragons. Fly around. Pick up people, give them a lift to 300 ft, and then...drop them. Or throw them. Hahahaha! Or....yup. Napalm breath. Burn them. Have fun when you get this game. And you will get it.
