I rented this game. I played it for about an hour and decided that was enough, and sent it back to gamefly since HS is next up in my Q. It's entirely possible the game could have gotten better or even worse, but I didn't feel like finding out. So my comments are based off the first couple of missions and the training mission.

The controls weren't too bad, but they are not my ideal way of playing a game. There were a couple of times out of habit where I tried to use the analog sticks to control flight. I was about 70% successful with the 180. I didn't notice any slowdowns or frame drops, and I was playing on a 1080P TV. My biggest issue with the game was that I had no sense of what I was supposed to do. Your leader does give you commands and stuff, but I felt like I was just flying around constantly spitting out fireballs and eventually the level would end. I never felt in danger that I was going to die, it was just kind of boring.

The game was always going to be a rental for me. Even before the reviews started surfacing, the idea of a dragon game didn't really appeal to me. However I did think it was at least going to be a solid title. Actually the poor reviews peaked my interest even more, so that is why I still rented it.
