With the ever-growing popularity of Wii, ported over Wii-make titles are beginning to be replaced by full-fledged original content for Nintendo's motion-sensing system. IGN are seeing tremendous support from some of the larger publishers in the industry, as well as the trickling of smaller dev houses that bring in original content that sneaks in under IGNs radar. Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire is one of those games. Shown off for the first time at D3 Publisher's pre-E3 show last week, Dragon Blade is a Wii-exclusive action adventure game that promises to make full use of its system exclusivity. It may not be as deep as The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, but the game is showing tremendous promise even in its alpha stage...
Sometimes you have to slog through the beginning of a video game, hoping and assuming that the first level or two of bland and boring gameplay will lead to something better.
Surely a game couldn't hit the market and sell for about $50 if it was really that dull and underwhelming?
Unfortunately, sometimes first impressions are accurate. And the final word on "Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire" for the Nintendo Wii from D3 Publisher of America is that it's just as bad as it seems.
What promise? It was worse looking than a N64 game, had terrible camera and level design and more problems.
Well when first announced a lot of Wii owners were thrilled of the consept of this game. I was one of them. Sadly this game should not be bought and you can quote me on that. Bad game I bought it and ugh...
Gamespot hands Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire a 4.0 declaring it a wimpy action game easy on the wrist, but hard on the eyes.
I think it's a bit too much. I mean, it's a full $50 game and yet looks like a PSone game ripping of God Of War and failing. If this disaster gets a 4 then Conan should get 11 out of 10.

that sucks for wii owners, but i really havent heard about this game til now, so hmmmm unless im wrong, but i dont think alot of people were watching for this one
Sure, the PS3 and 360 have Devil May Cry 4, but the fortunate Wii owners get something entirely original - in theory and in name, at least - in the form of Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire. It takes elements of action RPGs of yore and tosses them together in a very pretty, if strictly linear, fantasy setting. Add to this a whole bunch of flaming weapons and a lot of cool effects and you have yourself a tasty proposition and our immediate attention.
