My kinds love it, they spend a lot of time playing it on the PS3. The really plus for me is that it has real two player mode so both my kids can enjoy the game, and not just playing and the other one getting bored waiting their turn. My son keeps talking about it and wants to tell me every detail :)

2.0 out of 5 stars Really falls short of potential, January 8, 2011

This review is from: How to Train Your Dragon (Video Game)

The How to Train Your Dragon PS3 game fell far short of my (and my child's) expectations. The good:

(1) some "arcade" like features including flying the dragons.

(2) customization, albeit limited, features for each dragon.

The bad:

(1) the graphics are PS2 quality

(2) It is simply a recast "Kung Fu" fighting game wherein the toons beat the begeeses out of each other with dragons.

(3) One would think with the adventure tone of the movie, the game creators would have made a little more exploration (of quality of Rachet and Clank) and less antiquated kung fu theater.

Overall, I think Dreamworks and Activision really missed an opportunity here. I'm hoping they consider a better release in the future.

This is a great game overall. Some of the "taking care of your dragon" areas of the game can be a bit complex for younger players, but I've honestly been surprised at how much fun the game is.

We haven't been playing it long, but I would have liked to see more story in the game.
