How To Train Your Dragon Video Game Giveaway

How to Train Your Dragon has definitely been one of the biggest box office hits so far this year and the video games from Activision based on the movie are flying off the shelf. The video games allow players to experience the game as “Hiccup” or “Astrid” on the Island of Berk which features places from the movie like the Viking Village, Wild Zone, Training Zone and Flight Arena. The graphics in the game are spectacular and players train their dragons, play mini-games, explore area of the island and battle in tournaments. The game is rated E10+ for fantasy violence, but my 8 year old was so into the dragon training aspect of the game she really didn’t seem phased by the battle aspect. My 13 year old also thought the game was easy enough for the younger kids to enjoy but challenging enough to keep his interest.

THE GIVEAWAY

Activision has provided me with 6 copies of the How To Train Your Dragon Video Game to giveaway:

That means there will be 6 lucky winners!

Also, if you saw the movie, how did you like it? Or are you like me, waiting for it to come out on DVD – because somehow we never made it to the theaters to see it.
