06/10 - Play.tm Review 85%

**Helios** · 06-10-2009, 12:09 PM

Play.tm have just posted their review and it's a very positive 85%!

http://play.tm/review/27012/operatio...dragon-rising/

Sure you console players will appreciate the bolded comment below

Op Flash DR might be in its element on mouse and keys, but it's heartening to see that the PS3 and Xbox 360 hasn't been palmed off with a watered-down version of the game. Visually, Dragon Rising looks functionally pretty across the board, generally free of any major glitches. Impressive given the island's grand scale and 30-kilometre draw distance. Codies' EGO Engine that also powers the remarkably good-looking DiRT series produces equally spectacular results across the entirety of Skira's vast landscape.

Simultaneously engaging and fun to play, Op Flash DR will be enjoyed by all but the most staunch realism pedant. Given the slight scaling back of the unremittingly harsh difficulty of the first game, this sequel boasts more than enough authenticity to replicate more than just a modicum of what real war might be like. Certainly enough to give you a moment's pause in considering just how bloody awful it must be for a soldier engaged in actual combat. No mean feat, we think you'll agree.

I love the bolded part. Just goes to show that console games can be designed just as challenging as PC games. No need to water down a console game just because it's on console. Bring it!

Good review but wouldn't be better to post ALL the reviews rather than just the good ones chap?

CactusDeluxe · 06-10-2009, 12:37 PM

IGN gave the graphics 8/10! That's awsome, and now i just read this... Those two saying the graphics is great is good to know.

There are bad reviews on the forum and maybe the reason you don't see much of them is becauz there isn't much negative press about the game.
