76If you’re looking for the best version of the game to buy for the little Dragon fan in your life, the DS should be your first choice. The light RPG elements will challenge younger gamers, but never oversteps into frustrating territory.
-
Make no doubt, How To Train Your Dragon on the DS is a veritable clone of the Pokémon series, which actually works in its favor – at least when compared to the console versions all of which seem to be experiencing an identity crisis.
-
70Better than the usual movie-to-game ports. Instead of re-enacting the story of the film we can train our dragon and send him into nice-looking, but far too easy fights.
-
67How to Train Your Dragon bucks the trend of bad movie games by being a solid monster fighting RPG.
-
65For fans worth a look, but nevertheless, the fighting is getting quickly monotonous and motivation decreases quickly. Even the unlockable, new attacks are not an incentive, as most attacks have similar effects and there is not too much variety.
-
60Games aren’t beauty pageants, though, and while this game looks good, it isn’t really that interesting.
-
The combat is pedestrian and repetitive. [May 2010, p.69]
-
I suppose my question is this: why buy How to Train Your Dragon when you can buy Pokemon games on the DS instead?
