    DragonVale is a game about raising and collecting a huge number of different types of dragons, and in that it succeeds. Where you like your dragons cute and cuddly or large and ferocious, DragonVale has something to offer.

    There's also an ongoing hunt for the secret of the Rainbow Dragon, the one missing breed. I haven't found one yet. Will you?

    We had a great experience during this review, and as an ad-supported free app, we'd recommend to anyone with a little time to kill.

    A charming and cutesy game but I'd love to see more of a mission structure to the goals. While goals do appear, it feels like some form of story might have been nice. Nonetheless, kids will love the satisfaction of watching their dragons grow and evolve.

    This was my first IOS game, and I loved it. It offered you gameplay every day down to every couple minutes, when you could collect money from your habitats or try and hatch new dragons.
    Whenever I felt the game getting boring, I was given a new update. The addition of gemstone dragons, new levels and islands, and tons of new dragons continually drew me back in.
    I don't play much anymore, unfortunately. The game requires so much of my iPhone 4 that it is agonizingly slow to even load the game, let alone try and collect everything and cruise around the screen. It looks amazing on an iPad, while I don't have one myself, I've watched someone play and it looks even more magnificent and vibrant on a larger screen that can handle the gameplay.

    I would hands down recommend this game.    … Expand
