Reviewed on: PS3

Dragon's Dogma is a game that requires first time players to continually try at the game system within in order to achieve an understanding of how to play, once this understanding occurs the players are rewarded with a deeper experience and somewhat interesting game-play.

Start of Story:

Once you complete the detailed character customisation, you begin your life as a fisherman enjoying the uncomplicated life as a commoner. Before long a large dragon gains interest in burning your village and whilst its there it grows an interest in you. The dragon cuts away your heart and flies off, however instead of dying (cause that would make the game REALLY short) you come back as on of the 'Arisen', a hero persona that has a habit of killing beasts of all types and sizes.

Environment

The environment of Dragon's Dogma seems fairly standard at first, however that changes the longer a player continues their journey. The created day/night cycle dictates enemies within the environment whilst making it exceedingly difficult at night when trapped in a haunted forest - Wolves EVERYWHERE!. You are going to need to stack up on health when at a low level during night time!

Dragon's Dogma is built for those RPG gamers that love to immerse themselves in a fantasy world, along with action packed combat. Dragon's Dogma works hard to create a lively and persistent world for you to inhabit, players that are looking for a unique experience will find it with Dragon's Dogma.
