The game is great. It has a non-linear plot, many puzzles to be solved, and multiple endings, so you can play it again and again. Characters in the game can and will remember your actions and words, so you must be careful. Also, the game has comic-book style cut scenes that advance the storyline and excellent arcade sequences. In conclusion, I would advise every adventure fan to give this one a try!

Rise of the Dragon isn't perfect, but if you consider yourself a fan of graphic adventures you should be ashamed of yourself for having overlooked this one for so long. And while it's a shame that a company so closely associated with Sierra so rarely developed anything for the genre their parent made famous, they did use this same engine for another excellent entry, Heart of China.

Overall, Rise of the Dragon is a truly involving sci-fi detective adventure. It features an unique mix of gameplay elements and creates an atmospheric setting with its excellent music and graphics that are also appropriate for the sci-fi backdrop. The game sets itself apart from other original Sierra On-Line games by the special mature Dynamix touch. It is a true gem for fans of the genre interested in thrilling adventure games.

Ich finde "Rise of the Dragon" fast noch schöner als das vergleichbar stimmungsvolle "Manhunter: San Francisco". Die Geschichte ist ein Fest für alle, die den "Blade-Runner"-Stil mögen. Der Mix aus knallharter Stimmung und komischen Stellen hat mir gut gefallen, außerdem ist das Programm schön einfach zu bedienen. Ein Extralob der atmosphärischen Musik, die einem zusammen mit der fantastischen VGA-Grafik einen Hauch von Kino auf den Bildschirm zaubert. Einziger Nachteil: Das Abenteuer ist zu kurz. Ich habe drei Nächte bis zum Happy-End gebraucht, dabei habe ich mich allerdings hervorragend amüsiert und gegruselt.

Aventura y Cía
Si la historia hubiese tomado un camino menos estridente en su recta final cogiendo una variante un poco menos artificiosa (en serio, que el final es una desgracia, se carga la aventura) estaríamos ante un clásico de culto. Pero como suele ocurrir con demasiada frecuencia, siempre hay una pega...
