I guess this is just supposed to give you some more time to concentrate on who you want to shoot, but chances are your camera and aiming will be so screwed up that it won't really matter who you decide on.Īnother element which leads to this game's destruction is the repetitiveness.
(if that's possible) For instance, the bullet time not only slows your enemies down, but it slows Drake down as well. As a matter of fact, they just make things even MORE frustrating. And all of the rest of Drake's powers really don't help him much. First off, jumping is definitely a chore, as you have to try and deal with the difficult camera angles. These all sound fine and dandy, but in the world of Drake of the 99 Dragons, good has no meaning. Drake's "powers" include double jumping, running along walls, bullet time, and freezing time. Quite the opposite actually, they seem to bring even more frustration to this game. Sticking to the nature of the game however, these powers are not exciting at all. Trying to make this game exciting, the developers added a few "special powers" that Drake can collect throughout the game. That's not really a quality you want in a game. It is a constant battle between these two elements, and will eventually cause you to either throw this game away, or go crazy. Just as you think you fix the camera, your guns become unaligned. Just as it seems you have your guns aligned, the camera screws up. Which means you are definitely in for some hair tugging frustration. Combining with this problem is the fact that the stick which controls the aiming system also controls the camera angle. This can happen at any point and can drive you to the point of insanity, especially if you have just run into a group of baddies. Another big problem with the combat is that at random times, Drake's guns will suddenly point sideways and you will be forced to manually swing them around to the front again. I can't tell you how many times I was completely frustrated with the combat in this game. This game just fails to deliver that however, and comes up way short. And in a game based all around shooting people, you really need an effective targeting system.
There is an extremely loose system in place, but it just doesn't work. Not only is the aiming terrible, but the targeting system sucks. The aiming in this game is controlled with the right thumb stick and is at its best, anything but easy. This sounds like a fairly neat idea, but of course the game completely kills the idea with awkward aiming and a horrible targeting system. One of the potentially interesting features of this game is that you are able to fire two guns at once, using the R and L buttons. In the end, understanding the storyline is next to impossible, and just isn't worth it.Ī confusing storyline would be bad enough, but mix horrible game play in with that and you have a recipe for disaster. And just when you think you're starting to understand one of the 20 or so confusing elements, a few more characters or situations will be thrown at you and will knock you to your feet once again. As a matter of fact, at times the storyline is just about as confusing as it can get. His dialogue is choppy and hard to understand, which adds to the already confusing storyline. Well for one, Drake sure isn't a storyteller. You may wonder what the problem with this is. The first problem with the storyline is that the story is told through cut scenes which are narrated by Drake. The first few missions of the game set up the background of the story, and from there progresses in an extremely confusing manner. While this all appears to be a fairly interesting storyline, it doesn't take much time to realize this is not the case. Seeking justice, you are brought back to life by the Gods to avenge your fallen comrades. One day however, your gang is attacked by a mysterious rival group and your entire gang is slaughtered. In Drake of the 99 Dragons, you play as Drake, an assassin working for a Hong Kong gang known as the 99 Dragons. Welcome to the nightmare that is Drake of the 99 Dragons. Little did they know that they would bring a world of shame to the concept of cell-shading, and create an utter nightmare. The developers at Idol FX started with a dream.
Faulty controls, a terrible storyline, low quality graphics, the list goes on. While at first look this game appears adequate, a minute of play will tell you otherwise. The idea was to create an interactive comic book, told through the eyes of an assassin named Drake. Following the lead of the recent hit XIII, Drake of the 99 Dragons attempts to add to the ever growing world of cell-shading.
