It's been a fairly uneventful year for real-time strategy games thus far, but Dragonshard certainly bears checking out. With its innovative blend of gameplay, Dragonshard can appeal to both the real-time-strategy fan as well as the role-playing-game fan. It's good-looking and fast-paced, and it will have you crushing armies in one moment and plundering tombs the next. That's a heck of a combination.
And the second is at Yahoo! Games with an overall score of 4.5/5:
The real strength of the game is its skirmish mode and multiplayer. There are some bugs with larger units getting stuck in the geometry, some sync errors, a few mission scripting problems, and larger battles can cause slowdowns. Hopefully, Liquid Entertainment and Atari will patch these issues, because Dragonshard is a good enough game to be a contender in the long run. It's an ingenious mix of resource management, micromanagement, action, RPG elements, tactics, strategy, innovation, and good old-fashioned D&D atmosphere.
