fair playing as a Dragon!” – XboxSolution |
The game picks back up in Britain, c.2024. Quinn has grown up to be a “resistance
fighter” for a small community hiding in an old castle in the burnt-out
English countryside. His people have been reduced to living in near-medieval conditions.
There’s a pair of dragons prowling the vicinity, attacking the few remaining villages,
destroying crops, and generally making life hell for the humans. The fire brigades
risk their lives to put out the awful firestorms caused by the dragon attacks
as they rescue the trapped or wounded survivors.

Our Take:
Reign of Fire sets us up with another Dragon based shooter game that almost
certainly will place high on the scorecards of fans of games like Panzer Dragoon,
and Spyro the Dragon, simply for their awesome detail with their dragon characters,
and some of the best fire visuals we’ve ever seen. The ability to choose your
side brings another level to the game, or should we say, another game to the
game. Looks very well done, we’ll have more on this game as it becomes available!
Expected release date: Fall, 2002.
