You play as D'Kor, rider of a bronze dragon. The basic societal structure of Pern provides the background for Dragonriders but not the substance. You'll spend the majority of your time talking to the citizens and riders of Pern. And as in many other disappointing adventure games, you are supposed to be a great hero, but you do little more than perform menial tasks. It takes the primary elements of the Pern novels and uses them to fashion a run-of-the-mill adventure game that offers very little actual adventure and too many frustrating mechanical issues. But Ubi Soft's Dragonriders: Chronicles of Pern is not a good game. The series spans a dozen books featuring warriors who ride dragons and fight against a terrifying parasite that falls from the sky. Anne McCaffrey's Pern novels would seem to be the perfect inspiration for a good game.
