    The camera is so off is the main problem. The graphics look washed out and the story is terrible and complex. The controls are VERY mediocre and it lacks in gameplay so much. Stay away from this game.

    This game is one of the ten worst games I've ever played.

But thanks to the fact the game was unanimously panned by critics, it didn't get any of those things. The gameplay is imprecise and unpredictable which leads to numerous unfair deaths. The missions are boring and the levels are full of glitches such as the ability to go through walls or enemies get stuck on objects. The music is absolutely awful. The game's graphics look like N64 visuals in real-time to looking like a hideous PSone title during cutscenes. Let's not forget Drake has one of the worst storylines ever in the history of gaming. Avoid at all costs.… Expand

    If you ever have the misfortune of coming in contact with Drake, please do whatever you can to get rid of it. But, please have a heart and don't sell it or even give it away for free. This isn't a video game, people. This is torture.

    The TERROR of this game is...you guessed what...LEGEND. It gets featured A LOT of top 10 worst game videos and needs no explanation. Terrifying Plot, World destroying block graphics, catastrophic controls, and the fact that the title has no meaning as a "Drake" is weaker than a "Dragon" and this game is belittling itself. No excuses, be gone.

    I give this game a one just because how enjoyable it was to shut it off. Also it makes for a solid coaster for a cool beverage

    I played the game for at least two hours or so and for some reason, other than the bad camera and occasionally messed-up A.I., but other than that, I just can't find any other problems with the game.

I never got stuck in a glitch, the voice acting is actually not too bad, and the fact that Drake (the main character) moves fast is something that I've actually found as a cool feature to the game.

    This game is cheap enough to buy just to enjoy how utterly awful it is. I laughed until I cried. It's almost worth the money just because of that.

    Best xbox game to date. Forget Riddick or SplinterCell's graphics this game totally destroys them in graphics. It's a true showcase title and the gameplay is revolutionary!! Drake sets the standard. A must buy A++

    This game is so bad that it AMAZED me. I only recommend this to gamers who want to play a game where your biggest challenge is to control the game. It is almost impossible to play. When you struggle to walk up stairs because of the bad camera, then you know that you have a problem.

    The best improvement for this game would be the most readily avalible trash can! I hate this game so much that i burned it in my firplace. I have played better games on my pentium 166 and its a crackwhore (i.e. it smokes and never works!) NEVER USE THIS GAME, EVEN AGAINST YOUR MOST HATED ENEMY!

    Do not buy this game. Do not rent this game. If you do so much as lay your eyes on this game's box, gouge your eyes out and burn them.

    If you want a game that is enjoyably bad, with awful controls, combat, graphics, story, and just about every conceivable aspect, look no further than Drake.

    These cutscenes looked like PS1 graphics, I'm dead serious!
    Overall, Drake of the 99 Dragons is just a unfinished & uninspired product. The only thing I liked about this game is the end credits music, that's it. Avoid this game at all costs!    … Expand

    Yikes, now this is a "gem" you want to avoid. I've played this for only one hour before going to hide in the corner and cry because of how unbelievably bad it was. The camera fights against you, terrible graphics, horrible Voice acting, and atrocious controls, why Majesco, why?

    personally, I don't mind this game, yes its bad but at least the story is creative and SOME of the characters are relatable unlike Ride to hell: retribution. the ending music also is beautiful however the graphics are bad, the controls don't work, the game has way to many bugs for my liking, the main character is unlikeable and the main character is unlikeable. usually I ignore this gamepersonally, I don't mind this game, yes its bad but at least the story is creative and SOME of the characters are relatable unlike Ride to hell: retribution. the ending music also is beautiful however the graphics are bad, the controls don't work, the game has way to many bugs for my liking, the main character is unlikeable and the main character is unlikeable. usually I ignore this game and don't care for it however it had potential and if I had the skills to make a comic, id be up for making this games story a comic but the game itself is crap, so I'm giving it 3 out of 10 for potential to make a GOOD game.… Expand

    Calling this a game is a stretch. Horrible controls, gameplay, story, cutscenes, just everything about it is irredeemable garbage. The art style is great though, I must say.

    Easily worse than LOTR: Gollum.

    The camera alone is enough to condemn Drake to the eigth circle of gaming hell. [Dec/Jan 2004, p.90]

    The sad part is that there are just too many problems that were not fixed before the release. The main thing is the controls of the game itself... It's a game with some cool gimmicks that try to hide a poorly made game.

    Even at $20 it's worse than dull - it's unoriginal. When the loading screen is prettier than anything in the game, then you know you've got problems. [Jan 2004, p.70]
