  1. The game does attempt to merge a variety of different gaming genres together which some work and some don't. More particularly, some of the mini-games which were a little lacklustre.
  2. The game is very short, but also very short on story. Still, if you like the idea of battling with the dragons from the movie, the game will be fun while it lasts.
  3. It's neat for playing for fun – beat'em up feeling encounters adventure. But the quests and training lessons get boring soon. Fans of the movie can consider buying this one, but the rest should sneak a peek first.
  4. Dull, repetitive and almost embarrassing in the way it fails to entertain, despite the basics of an enjoyable game being in place here somewhere. [May 2010, p.65]
