Fight fire with fire? This goes against all elemental rules in every videogame ever, but as the hero in Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire, you'll be using the fiery powers of dragons to wipe evil beast-men off the planet. Through five worlds of four levels each, you'll quest for the six pieces of the legendary dragon blade. Each mini-boss you defeat in a level adds a new dragon bit to your collection, which you then use to slay a huge dragon at the end of each world.
For most standard enemies, though, you'll want to use your sword to keep the Dragon Power meter filled. The Wii Remote controls are basically just what you would do in real life (that is, if you were a swordsman). So if you want to slice your sword from side to side, stab, or slash up and down, you just make the analogous motion and the character on-screen does the same.
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.
If any game would seem to rip off god of war's over-the-top attacks, this game might take the cake. But they say that imitation is a sincere form of flattery, so i'll give this game a fair chance.
