"A feast for the senses"
5 stars"

I've just managed to get my hands on a US import of this game and I'm pretty impressed with it.

Story – well written mythology and storyline with some nice twists. Usual deal, plotting… betrayal… over zealous religious guy trying to take over the world…

Graphics – all the screen shots you can see on this site are all IN-GAME shots, not FMV's!! That's how good it is!! The designers put a hell of a lot of work into the dragons, you almost feel as if thats how dragons would really move. The cut sceen movies are so well done, they look amazing. You can tell they put a lot of effort into them.

Sound – excellent work on the sound and the voice acting is great.

Gameplay – now here is the real business end of the game. Flight control is entirely motion sensitive, it can take some getting used to, especially when you go from using the sticks to move while in ground combat then take to the air and have to switch over to motion control. Enemy ground troops move in formations which you can just totally rip through (or eat!). You may end up with disjointed shoulders or a controller launched into your ceiling, some of the commands require you to jerk the controller from side to side or up and down.......... ok well they use pretty much every direction its capable of!

Overall – probably one of the best games out on PS3 at the moment, I'd recommend you get this game any way you can before November when Assassin's Creed, Haze, Jericho and COD4 comes out. Definitely wouldn't work as a 360 game since without the motion sensitive control it'd take half the fun out of it.
