Really good game, for such an old computer [Posted on 2005-09-16]
Normally my old Windows 2000 is used for things like Myst III and Masterpiece, but I found out about this game in advance on a dragon forum. My brother and I put togther our allowences to pay for it, and we got it at the local Comp USA. On my old Winows 2000, it loads in reasonable time, a minute or two at most. (including diffrent areas)

The game has three speeds- and personally I use the fastest so I don't have to upgrade my wing speed too much. It doesn't slow my computer if I go too fast, the only exception is the "HOLE" area. (too many mountains or such... I think Terra is this way too.)

My favorite so far is Barroth the magician. He may not be able to raise volcanoes like Annoth, or bring the dead to follow comands at my whim like Morrogh, but he's got quicker acting spells that one can use for mass slaughter. (Whee!)
It's not quite like Spyro, I'll tell you that!
The only thing that peeved me off was that Skarrborr the last "boss" was very easy to beat. and there wasn't much of an end. He just sort of dies, and you can start all over again with someone new...

I hope they come out with a sequel or something to work out that tiny quirk!

Works on XP/SP2 [Posted on 2006-03-03]
I won't go into how great a game this is; others have mentioned the choices/replayabilty etc already.
I just wanted to let those interested know: 1) "yes, it works on XP/SP2" ... 2) you can buy it at strategyfirst for twenty bucks
Being physically disabled/limited manual dexterity doesn't permit me to play any flying games; luckily, Dragons don't crash :-)
I wanted to thank Tiffany Bates(...see AUG 17th post) for her XP fix.
I have been experimenting with my Black Dragon, so I've saved/loaded/deleted etc several times; no problems.
I moved the sound slider(dxdiag) bar to BASIC ... didn't try it where the default had it
All I know is the game works just fine.
Thanks StrategyFirst(... you guys might like Disciples II - Elves)

Thanks Tiffany !

Fun, but very buggy and no support [Posted on 2006-11-23]
The game could be a lot of fun, however, it is so buggy that it is nearly unplayable on many computers. I wouldn't advocate any kind of piracy, but if you are thinking about buying, I would strongly recommend finding someone with a copy and making sure it will actually run on your computer before spending any money on your own copy.

The game is in serious need of a patch, however, none is forthcoming, and the publisher seems unintersted in fixing the many known problems. If this kind of support is what I can expect from this company, I am unlikely to buy games by this publisher in the future.

fun, but dated graphics [Posted on 2006-12-04]
why anyone would want to pay the outrageous sums of money that people are asking this for is beyond me since you can get this at compusa for around $10 (or at some compusa's... I've seen a few copies at my local store.. don't know about other stores).

Great [Posted on 2006-12-04]
I love this game. The funnest part is just flying around blowing stuff up. Other reviewers have said it's buggy but I haven't encountered any problems at all on any of my computers. It's a great game.
