5.0 out of 5 stars This brings back memories... December 26, 2010

I always loved CYOA stories as a kid, so this let me relive my childhood a little. The difference, though, is that you get to customize almost everything about your dragon self (Name, scale color, gender, etc.)! Your stats change depending on how you handle a situation and those same stats can determine the amount of success for an action you pick (I had enough Disdain to ignore an effigy, but not enough Cunning to create a perfect magical trap to protect my hoard). This was quite fun, and I can't wait to 'play' it again.

EDIT: Please note, this is a role-playing story. While I love this kind of thing, your results may vary. It IS a little on the short side for a $5 price tag on the first run-through, but I think the replay potential for different endings makes up for it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too little content December 21, 2010

By GreenWeaver

This game is fun, but ends too quickly. For $5, I expected a lot more content... I completed it 3 times in 3 different ways in less than an hour.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and easy diversion December 25, 2010

By A Customer

This is a fun game to play that I would recommend to anyone who loves choose-your-own-adventure books. Your choices affect the gameplay to a degree though the overall story progresses to a similar end regardless of the choices you make. I first discovered this game online at the Choice of Games website where it can be played for free, but I gladly purchased it for my Kindle so I can play on the go. I only gave it 4 stars though because, while enjoyable, this game lacks the depth and complexity of other games available from this company and others.
