  1. From my perspective, this title fails to find its audience – it doesn’t deliver enough content for the older kids, and the frustration factor is too high for younger kids. I’d say you could catch this one when Toys R’ Us runs their next 2-for-1 sale, but I’d be hard pressed to recommend it at full retail price.
  2. How to train your dragon meets many stereotypes we know from film conversions. Too little innovation, little variety and little replay value. But who takes care of all this, if the story from Hicks and his friends is told so well and placed in such a colorful world.
  3. It takes about 15 hours to get through the game, but it's too boring to be worthwhile.
  4. 46
    How to Train Your Dragon is just so "bleh." You can make a fun game for kids, but this isn’t one of them.
