![]() If you miss a checkpoint or a flag, it doesn’t matter that much, because you get a grade for each course. I guess that is a testament of how easy the game is. I feel like there is an issue with hit detection, like I couldn’t touch a flag around a rock wall between my dragon and the flag and it still counted. Just fly through the checkpoints or touch flags and then make it to the end. When its time to play the game and not just do chores in it, you’ll visit the flight club where you get an adult dragon to pilot. Not just that, but you can shine a torch light like a laser pointer that gets your dragon to chase after it. You are playing fetch with your own dragon! Having an enslaved beast bring you back a ball for your amusement might be fun to apartment dwellers who are allergic to reptiles. You need to exit the farm back into the main world to click on it to bring up a first person view that lets you feed and play with it. Want to feed your dragon the crops you just grew? Well you can’t do it in the farm even if the dragon is sitting right there. It incorporates the addictive bring you back chore work of Farmville with the thrill of flying through rings like Superman 64! Feeding your dragon might be one of the joys a child gets from this game. You’ll spend gold on the seeds or just buy the plant itself from the guy standing next to your farm. Then if you want to keep your dragon happy and level up, you’ll grow plants on your farm over real life time and be there to harvest them or they die. ![]() ![]() First buy bait then it is just a simple button mashing or mouse clicking I should say. You’ll need to feed your dragon fish by doing the fishing mini game. Since its a baby dragon, the game needs you to grow the dragon over time by participating in chores that I wouldn’t call fun. You get to color your dragon, but you can’t chose the style or anything. Then you get to hatch your own baby dragon after you answer a few questions. After that, you get to pilot the dragon Toothless from the movie through an easy course to get the hang of the controls. Then you get dropped into the world after a lengthily update that could have been downloading as I was making my character. You can setup an account or play as a guest. When you start the game, you create your character, male or female with a few frills. By the time I was done with a one minute race, I had heard the same loop a noticeable amount of times. The music is good, but there’s not much variety. There are a few voice overs and a few things are fully voiced, but for the most part its one line of voice with an entire paragraph in text. Its still the controls without a touch screen that make it bad. This is a game for kids given the license and the easy difficulty. Its good for computers with lesser graphics cards. Its somewhere between and they can’t get adjusted. The graphics in game are bright, bold and colorful, but I can’t call them good or bad. Skip is good, but each clip gets followed by a question about what you just watched. The game makes great use of its movie license and has clips from the movie with the ability to skip them. There are a few hot keys in the world map. Yet there is a shooting gallery mini game that uses the space bar. That would be an okay way to do things if there was controller or hot keys. The speed up isn’t like a throttle, you need to keep pushing the speed button to keep a higher pace. This is great if your entire screen is a controller, but if its not you need to mouse click each button. There are no hot keys or controls when flying. You have a speed up, slow down and fire button all on your screen. These controls are meant for a touch screen. The glaring issue that I have with flying through the rings are the controls. There is even a button mashing fishing mini game to get fish to feed your dragon. Other than that, you can tend to your farm, planting crops, watering them and harvesting all in real time. There is a lot to do here, plenty of fetch quests and mini games that center around flying a dragon through checkpoints. School of Dragons: How to Train Your Dragon is a free to play, third person massive multiplayer online game based on the animated movie up the same name.
