    The generic rock soundtrack can't save the mediocre graphics. [May 2002, p.28]

    It's just very, very dull.

    The storyline is half-baked, the graphics and sound are substandard, the music is intolerable, and weak enemy AI makes for boring gameplay.
  5. PSX Nation

    An adequate but flawed multi-beast shooter that's too overpriced and unpolished to be worth the attention of anyone but the hardest of Ian Livingstone hardcore fans.

    A bland flight-combat shooter. [June 2002, p.114]

Graphically this games looks like the very first generation of PS2 games, so even for 2002 when it came out in north america it is mediore. The animation is not the best, there are some clipping issues and the resolution looks like PS1. But it is fun to fly around on dragons, giant eagles and winged monsters. The variety of flying animals is great, the different weapon styles and the different mission styles lead to an very entertaining experience. The biggest issue for me is, that it is too short, as there are only 9 mission for each of the three camps, especially becaus only the first camp is easy enough to enjoy. I like the trashy cut scenes, the rock soundtrack and the fact, that the flying riding animals don't steer like planes, but have their own style. A pity they didn't balance the difficulty better with the second and third part of the missions.… Full Review »
