    Savage Skies was a air combat game that was really creative but needed help on graphics, story, and probably needed a budget. Was a fun game growing up but the cut-scenes still make me cringe even with my nostalgia goggles on.

    Finally an almost new game style idea. The last game that simulated flying on a dragon, that I remember, was Dragonstrike on DOS 1990. 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 flyFinally an almost new game style idea. The last game that simulated flying on a dragon, that I remember, was Dragonstrike on DOS 1990. 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.… Expand

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

    It doesn't damage the reputation of fantasy games, but it doesn't make any spectacular leaps and bounds with it.

    There's just not enough skill, diversity, or excitement involved in Savage Skies, and certainly not enough incentive to keep slogging through the repetitive missions.
