Summary
For centuries, the dragons of Pern and their riders have protected their world from the alien oppressor, Thread. Mightiest among the dragons are the Gold Dragons, and their riders, the Weyrwomen – crusading for the free people of Pern. But now your Weyrwoman is dead, and her gold dragon is dying. Unless you can find a new rider to take up her mantle, your weyr – and perhaps all of Pern – is doomed. [Ubi Soft]

Electric Playground
A well thought out and logical adventure game that, other than the no riding of dragons problem, is fairly solid, if a bit boring.

Hardly a terrible game, but it has its share of issues and won't appeal to a large group of gamers.

Regular adventure gamers, though, will be gnashing their teeth with frustration at the awkward controls, naff fighting system and endless mini-quests that have a noble hero working like an errand boy.

An awful mess of lengthy loading times, terrible camera angle control, and a slowness of gameplay that makes this one of the most disappointing games to come out this year.

I've never read the novels this game is based on, and thanks to the suffering that I called playing Dragon Riders, I never will.

Awful awful awful. The story was terrible the whole game was terrible, a travesty to the books the game is based on.
J.D. gave it an 8:
One of the most beautifully crafted games ive ever played. It does what games are supposed to do...relieve stress. It has a great storyline and follows Mccaffreys' storyline greatly. It does have a downside referring to the loading times and the lack of large amounts of action...But on the whole, I really enjoyed the game.
