Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

In this game you can either fight for mankind as one of the many different human forces, with a huge arsenal of high-tech weaponry at your disposal, or take to the skies as a terrifying dragon and spread fear over the world, savaging the earth and destroying everything in your path, breathing fireballs and napalm. Either way you will witness reactive fire effects as flames spread and combust everything they touch. There are tons of missions, including the desecration of central London, military-style reconnaissance activities, third-person shootouts, and heroic firefighting rescues.

Product Description

Unleashed after hibernating for centuries, dragons now terrorize London and the English countryside, leaving only Quinn and the American Van Zan and his ragged troops to defend the populace.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Toasty Title..., October 27, 2002

My first thought of a game for Reign of Fire was like what a waste, but after some thinking I decided to rent it. And for that I'm actually quite happy I did. The creators of this game did a fantastic job. They added some pretty neat features included with the game like a music Video and concept art.

Another nice feature about this game is you get to play the dragons. After of course beating a couple of levels.

Well, here's my rating.
Graphics 10/10
Sound 9/10
Gameplay 9/10
Controls 9/10

My comment: I would rent it to get a good feel for the game before buying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This will burn your PS2 !, December 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Reign of Fire (Video Game)

Graphics are so smooth !!! now you know how powerful your PS2 is.
Play as a human is good enough but it's even cooler !!! to play as a dragon . You can fly freely to destroy all the planes and trucks. The textures of the dragon are as good as what you see in the movie !
Don't be stunted by the graphics !! the harrier will shoot you down !!!(^_^)

5.0 out of 5 stars What an experience!, December 27, 2002

Reign of Fire is a fantastic game! It has great graphics and intense gameplay. The developers have created a fantastic sense of battlefield carnage and chaos against marauding dragons. In latter levels, YOU get to be a marauding dragon!

There are some things you need to know about the controls, which has gotten some bad press. The default is "simple" control configuration. Change this before you even start playing! In this configuration, you aim AND steer with the left thumbstick, and accelerate and decelerate with A and B. The right thumbstick does nothing. We will get nowhere with this set-up.

On the other hand, the "advanced" set-up steers with the left thumbstick, and aims with the right. This makes the controls very intuitive. Another thing you might want to do is turn down the auto-aim to zero. Otherwise, the aiming cursor does a lot of drifting, which can be very annoying and make it more difficult.

I have very few complaints about the game. The dialogue can get quite repetitive at time, such as when you are not in the spot you need to be. You hear the same sentence repeated multiple times.
