Summary

Based on the popular animated series airing on ABC Family and Toon Disney, Dragon Booster is a fast paced 3rd person racing/action game set in a fantastical world where humans and dragons co-exist. When their peaceful way of life is disrupted, Beau, a legendary dragon, chooses Artha Penn, an ordinary 16-year old, to become a mythical hero known as the Dragon Booster. In this classic tale of good versus evil, Artha must use his new-found abilities to defeat his foes and unite humans and dragons once and for all. [Konami]

Nintendo Power

If so much of the game weren't based solely on the touch screen, Konami might have had a winner. [Feb 2006, p.100]

Console Gameworld

Despite a cool concept, the unusable controls and other flaws prevent Dragon Booster from making the cut.

DarkStation

Riding dragons and racing them against others should have been a fun idea, but here is marred by sloppy controls, dull races and bland visuals.

GameSpy

The idea is solid, but the haphazard controls suck most of the enjoyment from these rails. We'd like to see more dragons in our games, but requiring the use of an ice pack after bouts with the stylus seems unnecessary.

Game Chronicles

The gameplay is flawed, the controls are horrible and the on-rails racing creates a game that almost plays itself.

DailyGame

Dragon Booster is one of those games that feels like it was jammed out the door to meet the holiday deadline. While it may carry the cool cachet of an anime license, it's control issues and generic production values will have gamers avoiding it like the plague.

Even if you’re a fan of the anime, it’s impossible to imagine that anyone would find enjoyment in this game.

Gamezilla!

For the love of all that is holy, stay away from this game, it’s one of the worst examples of use of license out there.

Games Master UK

A poor game with next to no modes, excitement or stuff to recommend it. [July 2006, p.84]

GameSpot

Dragon Booster is a halfhearted and practically unplayable racing game with no redeeming qualities.

GameZone

An unimaginative racing game with no real worthwhile moments, Dragon Booster is just one of those titles that are hardly worth a glance for any Nintendo DS owner.

IGN

What seems like an ambitious design turns out to be overly complicated, completely frustrating and totally confusing. Racing dragons sounds like a cool concept, but Dragon Booster doesn't end up anywhere near a cool DS game.

G4 TV

Lousy graphics, terrible gameplay, and no other redeeming values make Dragon Booster one of the worst DS games on the market. Trust us, don’t buy it, and if you see someone else trying to buy it, fling yourself at them.

GameShark

Parents, avoid this game if you don’t want your little tyke smashing his expensive DS against a wall in frustration. Dragon Booster fails in nearly every way and never should have seen the outside of the development studio.

It's the best ever the game and the cartoon series.

Justin S. gave it a7:
The game itself I didnt think was too bad but, there was 1 big issue that got me really mad about it. This game thats out right now wasn't the original version. In the original version you could. 3rd Person Action: Collecting, Breeding, Exploration 1st Person Dragon Riding: Combat, Racing, Fighting Capture, Breed and Collect Up to 12 Different Dragons Trade Gear and Dragons over Wireless Connection and, for some reason. Half way through the prosedure...they pulled all of that stuff out.

Niko B. gave it a10:
