    GameSpy has reviewed Dragonshard, spanning over three pages and giving it what's due but pointing out shortcomings with no pink glasses on. Here's a snip:

    The world of choice is the newest D&D campaign setting, Eberron. It turns out that Eberron is the perfect environment for this type of game: it's a troubled world where magical crystalline Dragon Shards rain from the sky, filled with cool character concepts like the self-aware metal golems known as the Warforged. Everything that makes it a great D&D campaign world also makes it perfect for an RTS.

    While Dragonshard is built around some very cool ideas, and there's definitely a good deal of innovation at work, the title doesn't exactly knock it out of the park. In places (particularly the later parts of the single-player game) Dragonshard seems to trip over itself, as though the ideas never quite gelled. Moreover, we found a number of bugs still present in the game. While the joy of multiplayer skirmishes help rescue the game, we're left with the feeling that Dragonshard falls a little shy of its potential.
