The graphics are excellent and the controls little difficult but when you get to used to the controls it pretty easy. I like the game there is other challenges like diving, flying through trenches, collecting tokens, flying through arches and when not racing you can go anywhere on the map. Some tokens are to hard get but it fun and it reminds me when my family and I used did Easter egg hunts when I was a kidI got this for my son who is super into the "dragons". I play it with him sometimes, it is ok for dragon racing. It is very disappointing that you can't get off the dragon and run around or do anything BUT race and a few other dumb little competitions. At least you can fight each in 2 player. Thank goodness. It really bugs me how limited this and the first game were. They could have done SO MUCH MORE with this. The How to Train Your Dragon universe has so much potential for open world fun. But nope, not even close.I bought this for my 8 year old as a Christmas present and it was way to difficult for him and so he can't play it. The controls are hard to adjust to.. Even my brother who has been playing video games for over 23 years had difficulty with the controls. Graphics are fine, mini games ok, controls and flying terrible!My twelve year old grandson is really into How to Train Your Dragon so we purchased this game for him.. It arrived on time and of good quality. It works great.My kids love it. One of them has a really hard time controlling their dragon to fly. I wish that they would have made it a bit easier to play seeing in how the movies were geared toward younger children.the kids loved it good price tooKids felt a little frustraded because this videogame is only about 'flying around' . No missions available or a storyline, Neither batlles between dragons as the previous title,got it for my 7 year old whom doesn't play too many games and he really likes it only complaint it doesn't have different boardsit's great and all but was hoping that they would make a third person action adventure of dragons where get to play as Hiccup and Toothless!Loves the gameGood
