Download.torrent - How To Train Your Dragon - PS3. How to Train Your Dragon is a third-person action-adventure where the gamer plays as a Viking hero that must embark upon an epic quest to become the ultimate dragon trainer. How To Train Your Dragon ships on March 23rd for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and Nintendo DS. How to Train Your Dragon launches gamers into a third-person action-adve.
All of these individual problems come together to make the game not only tedious, but disjointed. One minute you're caring for your pet like a doting father, the next you're riding it and making it claw another dragon (what is this, the Michael Vick School of Animal Care?), and the next you're trying to fly through airborne rings Pilotwings-style.
Nonetheless, How to Train Your Dragon does some things right. The fighting isn't first-rate by any means, but it's a decent introduction to the genre for young newcomers. The combos are simple enough for children to manage, though sometimes they require you to push the buttons with awkward timing, and the button sequences remain on the screen during the (admittedly boring) training. The difficulty builds up slowly enough that the young ones won't throw temper tantrums or give up.
The arena fights here are all about evading and blocking, and attacking with a swipe or a fire breath where appropriate. There's a bit of button-mashing involved, of course, but even the most complicated fighting games have never found a way around that. Health doesn't regenerate, so when a dragon runs out of energy, you move to the next one in your brood. If you lose entirely, you have to rest your dragons and start again.
Playing the 'arcade' mode, especially with a friend, one gets a taste of what this title could have been. When the game is restricted to fighting and mini-games, it's a lot more exciting. Had the developers focused on these elements and kept the role-playing and pet care to some brief allocations of points and food carried out in between battles, this could have been a lot of fun. As Primal Rage proved so many years ago, it's a lot of fun to make mythical creatures bash each other around. There just needs to be much more of it in the story mode, along with a deeper fighting system. And God knows kids love mini-games, even the rehashed ones.
How to Train Your Dragon is ambitious for a movie game, but it's a little too ambitious for its own good. It combines lots of different types of gameplay that could have been successful on their own, but as a whole, the game just feels fractured, tedious, and not enjoyable. The arcade mode is a highlight, but it doesn't justify buying the whole game.

They're not jaw-dropping, but they're charming and slightly cartoonish.
Some combos require awkward timing, but overall the controls work well.
The voiceovers are decent, but the music is unremarkable and the characters shout out annoying phrases during combat.
It takes about 15 hours to get through the game, but it's too boring to be worthwhile.
Not an average. See Rating legend above for a final score breakdown.

Gameplay and premise[edit]
How To Train Your Dragon 3 Movie
The game takes place a year after the movie's ending. After defeating the Red Death, as a form of celebration, the Tribe has created a festival which they call 'Thor'sday Thursday'. On this festival, the Vikings always hold a dragon tournament and all of the teenagers are encouraged to participate with the dragons that they've trained. Players can play as either Astrid or Hiccup, the main human characters of the film. (Although Hiccup has his leg, he lost it in the film.) Before entering the actual tournament, players must use the training grounds to train their dragon to fight. After entering the tournament, they must defeat all of the other opponents and, eventually, win the dragon tournament (by defeating Snotlout Jorgenson) and be named dragon-taming champion. The player can create and customize their own dragon in the dragon den, where they also take care of the dragons, feeding it food the players have found all around Berk, the setting of the series.
After finishing dragon fights, players have to help Gobber gather ingredients for some food for the dragons. The ingredients are all located in the Wild Zone. To unlock the Wild Zone, the player must help a handyman Viking to repair the bridge connecting to the Wild Zone by navigating around Berk, borrowing tools from other Vikings. In the Wild Zone, the player can also enter caves and complete mini games with their dragon.[2]

The game received generally mixed or average reviews. On Metacritic, the Xbox 360 version received a score of 58 out of 100.[6]Gaming Trend gave the review 'From my perspective, this title fails to find its audience – it doesn't deliver enough content for the older kids, and the frustration factor is too high for younger kids. I'd say you could catch this one when Toys R' Us runs their next 2-for-1 sale, but I'd be hard pressed to recommend it at full retail price.' IGN gave the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions a score of 4.6.[1][7]
