Legend of the Dragon: Cartoon takes to the PSP

Posted on Nov 12, 2008 03:54:36 PM

Another fighting game from Game Factory is the Legend of the Dragon. This interesting game is based on a currently aired cartoon. Story line revolves around the fifteen year old twins Ang and Ling.

The setting is a conflict based on martial arts. This fight features humans who can turn into horrible looking creatures resembling beasts. Ang and Ling are featured on the opposite sides of this conflict.

If you are looking for mind gripping excitement in thrilling combats and fights, this game is probably not for you. The conflict featured here involves a stripped down fighting. Controls in the Legend of the Dragon PSP version essentially consist of just one for punching and one for kicking. A couple of combinations enable you to use both together when necessary. As a human, you cannot perform any special moves. You continue fighting to accumulate energy as displayed in the rising meter.

Main characters in the game sport a human form and are armored. People around them transform into creatures resembling rats and snakes. 2D fighter with 3D ring movements is what the game feels like as you continue with your attacks in a similar manner even if you transform. Special attacks can be negotiated with the help of the accumulated energy.

One interesting attack enables you to launch an energy beam bringing you to the edge of your seat in excitement and frenzy. With the help of another type of attack, you can launch fireballs rhythmically. Controller waves and button presses timed perfectly have to be executed by the opposing player to dodge these fireballs.

The quest mode is challenging and interesting too. Here you take the help of a map screen to move Ang and Ling around, resembling a board game.

Every temple you come across in the map poses challenges for you to face and conquer. Interest is maintained with different challenges for different situations. For example, if one fight has a time limit, another requires you to use skillfully strategic attacks.

Moderately thrilling, fun and entertainment is what this game is all about. Enjoy this with friends and family on your favorite PSP.

Eragon: Dragon without Wings!

Posted on Oct 1, 2008 11:08:00 AM

Eragon is a classic case of a great concept gone awry due to some glaring technical problems. You reprise the role of Saphira, a dragon whose job is to help the titular hero Eragon fight off enemies who are determined to destroy the world. You will, no doubt, derive immense thrill reprising the role of a dragon as you fly around chomping on goats, dropping boulders on enemy structures, and spitting fire at the enemy.

You can move your on-screen protagonist (Saphira) using the analogue stick, accelerate by pressing X, and use the square to stop. Saphira is really well equipped to send the enemy running for shelter and with its vast array of moves, you had all the potential of having a great adventure. Instead you are hindered by technical problems like an overly sensitive analogue stick which, coupled with Saphira’s natural speed, makes it a daunting task to have control over her. This factor also means that you constantly overshoot your targets and have a hard time keeping them in your sights. A more sensitive control panel would have done wonders to this game, as you can easily conceive the difficulty in managing a fast-moving creature if it is practically fighting against you.

The game essentially requires that, with Eragon as your companion, you fly through nine different levels to save the world. The mission objectives in Eragon (PSP) include things like killing the enemy, protecting allies, racing through narrow corridors, and using magic to clear pathways. Quite ironically, when you take into account the amazing abilities at your disposal, you will be annoyed to find that spend most of the time flying through narrow canyons or within constricting city walls, and cruising city walls. The result is quite palpable; you end up bumping into just about everything! That’s not all though, as you will find it an even more difficult task to figure out where you are actually supposed to go…!
