Dawn of the Dragon Demo released!

Ok, today I went to Wal-mart. I went into the entertainment sections, and the Wii that they placed in had a bunch of Demo games on it (Zelda: TT, Wii: Play, etc.) and one of the demos they had were DotD.

Unfortunately it didn't give any spoilers, infact it didn't even let me fight (just fly around) so I can't really tell you guys anything new. All I can say is that you won't be dissapointed with the flying and Cynder part.

Does anyone else have a wal-mart near them that has the DotD demo?

Re: Dawn of the Dragon Demo released!

For the Wii, did you use the Wii controller or a Wiimote nunchuck combo? And how was the flying? How do you fly? Do you keep pressing a certain button? Hold a button down? Or do nothing t all? *pesters with questions*

Ok, this is the best way for me to answer it:

▼Hidden text

For the Wii you can use either use the Wii-mote & nunchuck combo, or the Wii classic controller (I tried both, but I liked the wii-mote better).

To fly you must 'Triple Jump' which is when you Jump, Flap (feels like hovering from YotD) and then you just start flying.

To jump you press the A button, then A again and then a 3rd time.

The flying was great, but it is hard to start out. Although it did feel like there was a big limit. You could only go about 20 feet in the air (like in the screenshots of them flying).

You can also press A to flap manually, which let's you change direction quickly or even just float in one place (hard to do). It also let's you do a small boost, but you can't boost constantly.

I noticed Cynder is more agile in the air because she flaps quicker, so it was kind of funny when the developers said there would be no difference in flight.

I was a bit ashamed of how well they keep up with each other. Whoever you aren't playing falls back every once in a while, and it makes you flap backwards. Although, it didn't happen that often, and it was only if you are already far away and you try to boost.

There isn't actually a 'Limit' on how high you can go, it is more like you can float a certain height above whatever is under you, which I expected to lead to a bunch of glitches, but after 10 minutes trying to find one, I couldn't. I also realize why they had to knock the tree down, but that is kind of hard to explain over a forum. You will just need to see for yourself.

The last part is the part I didn't like. When the other one gets stuck.

Sometimes if you take off at certain points, your buddy get stuck behind a rock or a tree, it took me about 2 minutes to get them unstuck, but it only happened to me once, so I liked how they tried their best to fix glitches.

WARNING: May contain spoilers on how to play

Re: Dawn of the Dragon Demo released!

FINALLY. It is confirmed you can use the Wii controller (if this counts as a spoiler, you people are strange '-') and it sounds like a ton of fun. I can't wait. Now I just need to remember t buy another Wiimote/controller for co-op.

Also, about the 'limit'... Don't try to fly over a bottomless pit more then a few feet wide... Just don't try it... When you are too high over something (like if you fly off a cliff) you will float down slowly, but the same thing applies if you try to fly over nothing, you will float down. I am guessing that's what they said when they said they kept a platforming aspect even with the flying...

▼Hidden text

If you fly over a hole, it will be like gliding... So as long as the hole isn't big enough, you can go over without boosting.

I have not tried that, so you may need to wait for the game to come out before that happens...

I didn't get a chance to do any combat (flying was too fun =P) so I never got the chance to check out any of the fury's...

The wal-mart's Wii had a few demos, I don't know how they got them on though.

Anyway, I am guessing you can't download it at home.

Umm... Demos are free, and I played it at Wal-mart...

But I can tell you the full version will be $50 no matter what console you get for it.

You can go up and down... But that was the part I had trouble with (bad flyer here), and I kept crashing into things.

... How? Go back in time when I played it and bring a video camera which isn't allowed in stores?

Go to a Wal-mart or Best Buy, or some other video game seller and see if you can play it yourself.
