Legend of the Dragon review

In somewhat of a mixed blessing, the forming-changing Guaridan moves actually work this time around, not that the context-senstive button mashing holds a candle to anything like God of War, or for a more apt comparison, the Naruto series. And since it offers minimal change to the combat it’s little more than a dynamic costume change that slows down the bout.

You’ll need the patience of Buddist monk to progress through the archaic Quest mode without consistently resorting to a cheap “Ring Out.” Now that we’ve seen the game boiled to its essence with a traditional control scheme, we can proudly say that Legend of the Dragon is easily one of the worst fighting games available on any platform. You could link up with a friend over PSP’s ad-hoc connection for some multiplayer, but that contradicts the very definition of what being a friend is.
