    Excitement quickly fades, leaving you with a game with unresponsive controls and lackluster action.

    The game's biggest problem is the annoyingly sluggish controls used to navigate your jeep about the various landscapes. [15 Nov 2002, p.144]

    The overall speed of the game slows down substantially when there's too much activity on screen.

    You may begin to find yourself suffering from the Too-Much-Sameness disorder. Symptoms include boredom and the unwillingness to complete the game.

    The film and this game, now completely forgotten, were part of my childhood. None of them were good, but I cant stop liking them a bit.

    Reign of fire is a game where you play both human and dragon missions. It is a game which contains 16 missions and they get tough fast. TheReign of fire is a game where you play both human and dragon missions. It is a game which contains 16 missions and they get tough fast. The controls for the most part are decent however there is no sensitivity controls and I found the aim control too "spazzy" for my likings which detracted from my enjoyment quite a bit. I was stuck with adjusting auto aim sensitivity which isn't really what I wanted but one I decided was going to be the compromise I had to go forward with. The gameplay itself was better than I expected. This game had low reviews and is movie based so I wasn't expecting much but to my surprise the gameplay gets hard and hectic and a lot happens in real time to keep you active and entertained. My gripe with the game is that there are not well spaced checkpoints and if you fail a mission you go back to the start and my God that can be painful. Thankfully the gameplay is decent but I do feel this will be the area of design which makes people rank the game on the lower side cuz the game itself has some good stuff going on. Hopefully you game with a helmet on because you will want to bang your head into something in frustration at some point in the game.… Full Review »

Games like twisted metal have no skill. This game lets you aim without driving straight at the target - great!… Full Review »
