4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful for non-action gamers, November 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dragon Riders: Chronicles Of Pern (Video Game)

I really enjoy this game, but I'm one that doesn't like constant fighting and blowing things up. The people are really weird looking (hardly any lips and they all look gaunt and ill from the beginning), but the scenery is breath-taking and storyline is fun. The game should be listed as errand-runner, not fighting/adventure, but it does take some intelligence to find what you need. ...I recommend this game if you want a relaxing, fun adventure. It does have some fighting and it takes a little bit to master it, but it is minimal compared to the dialogue and exploring.

5.0 out of 5 stars The word "Chronicles" should be taken literally, August 18, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dragon Riders: Chronicles Of Pern (Video Game)

...I knew the game was based on a novel, and that it would move at a "Shenmue" pace. What really put a smile on my face, was the great story. This game DOES have some flaws. The camera sometime loses the main character, the load times are LONG (sometimes around 70 seconds). The gameplay resembles "Resident Evil: Code Veronica" control wise, but it's more like "Dracula Unleashed". You talk to this guy, go find the item, give it to that guy, etc. Also, you may not like the game intitially, but after about 5 hours, you'll want to see it to its end. I gave it 5 stars because it's priced well, and I like games that read like a novel. If you ever get stuck, go to GameFAQs.com and read the message boards. It has quite a following on both the Dreamcast Board, and the PC Board.

WARNING: Do NOT get this game if you don't like puzzle-solving. If you're an action freak, do NOT buy it. If you like a challenging, yet rewarding adventure, you'll LOVE it.

RECOMMENDATION: Play this game on an LCD monitor, using the VGA box. I'll NEVER play my Dreamcast on a television AGAIN!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good graphics, tired gameplay, August 18, 2001

This review is from: Dragon Riders: Chronicles Of Pern (Video Game)

well,I just purchased this game alittle while ago,and the reason for the low rating is because while this game offers great graphics and story,the gameplay is a bit repetitive and tired.However,if you are a fan of the Chronicles Of Pern series,this title is highly recommended.one thing I can't get past though is that the gaemplay s a bit slow,and the loading times are a bit long.Overall,I'd say it's a good rental at best.
