DRAKE TRIES TO BE KICKASS BUT ENDS UP A JACKASS 2.5 OUT OF 10

I usually enjoy Majesco games. I like Bloodrayne and Advent Rising because they were both pretty cool games. But Majesco has a habit of releasing games a little too early, leaving them a bit undercooked around the edges. However, when it comes to Drake, this game feels like it wasn't even put in an oven. This game is a terrible glitchy mess, that will make you want to throw your controller at the TV screen. This game is so bad it doesn't even deserve to be in the bargain bin, instead it's like you grabbed a game from Satan's game library.
WHAT THE GAME IS: A terrible third-person shooter. An artifact has been stolen from the temple of the 99 Dragons, and Drake's master has been killed. So he must go out, get the artifact, and kill all who stand in his way. The story is so poorly told within the game you will never be able to take it seriously, ever.
GRAPHICS: I've always loved the comic book look in games. Like the awesome FPS XIII (PS2, Xbox, GC). This game has a nice look, but WHY THE F*** DON'T THE LIPS MOVE WHEN THEY TALK DAMMIT?! The level designs and enemy designs are okay, but seriously, what the hell happened when designing the protagonist Drake? He looks like the offspring of Frankenstein and a zombie because he looks like a walking corpse.
MUSIC: This music is awful, it has no purpose in even existing.
SOUNDS: Whenever this tool opens his mouth, he can't more than two seconds without sounding like a complete jackass. There's shooting, crappy voice-acting (Why does a guy who looks like a Yakuza mobster sound like he came from Alabama?), and the sounds of your character dying that wasn't even your fault.
GAMEPLAY: "Death is only the beginning," as one of the talking statues in the world you go when you die says to you. Apparently she's warning you that this game not only has a problem of constant cheap deaths that await you, but it has some of the most God-awful challenges ever put in a shooter and that you have wasted your money. The shooting mechanics wouldn't have been passable a decade ago... and beyond that! There is no reticle onscreen, so all you can do is try and guess where your shots go and shoot uncontrollably with a total disregard for tactics. Climbing up walls is a terrible mess and it doesn't work all that well. This game also steals the slow-mo shooting feature from the great third-person shooter Max Payne, and does an awful job of implementing it here. And for just about every stage you're timed on them. Your health depletes quickly as well, and I can't tell you how many times I went from high health points to death in about five seconds or less. This game provides no fun challenges of any kind for you, and cheap deaths and a wish to break the disc is all that you get. Other instances of cheap I recall were things like pursuit missions in which I got hit by several vehicles that randomly appeared on the street, and another time was when I entered a room and got mauled to death several times because of the strange creatures and the fact that if you absorb a bad soul your health is lost... and the room was full of them. Oh, and if you die, you have to redo the entire stage. DAMMMMMMMMMIT!!!!!!!!
OVERALL: This is one of the worst games ever made for the Xbox. Terrible shooting mechanics, no fun challenges, awful music, terrible save system and numerous cheap deaths.
THE GOOD: Good comic book-style graphics, controls work somewhat in the beginning.
THE BAD: Controls don't work the rest of the time, crappy challenges, awful music, the worst protagonist ever put in a game, terrible save system, and so many cheap deaths.

Finally! An Anti-Game!

This is by far the worst game I've ever played for literally any system. No wonder it got a 1.25/10 by Game Informer but here's my review...

Graphics 1.5/10:

The cartoony graphics in this game are so laughably bad that I dug my Sega Genisis out of my attic just to see if this game was compatable with it. And unlike the cartoony graphics in the GTA series which suit the games theme perfectly, the cartoon style in Drake seems really unsuitable for the games theme.

Sound 1/10:

Drake is filled with annoying ambients which never fits the situation of the game, and soundeffects are just downright bad. When you fire a machine gun it sounds like your firing a clogged up watergun.

Challenge & Playability 3/10:

This game is not challenging at all. The stratagy tactics are pointless as well as useless. I took out ten guys just by literally banging the X-Box controler off my ass...Quite the challenge huh? The only good thing about playability is the fact that you can slow time down and use shot-dodge techniques, but even then the shot-dodge rips off games like "Max Payne". Sorry about fantasizing on games I'd rather be playing.

Replay 1/10:

Believe me, you will immeadiatly take Drake out of your X-Box and burn the game after the first couple of checkpoints. I would rather try to hook up with my psycho ex then play this game again.

Bottom Line: The only reason I gave the fun part 2 stars is because Drake was fun to make fun of, but when I realized I rented this game for a week, the laughs turned to gasps. If you don't want to heed my words, you can probably find this game at the nearest Salvation Army for a quarter or peed on in a wal-mart dumpster.

SUCKS AND THAT'S BEING NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The idea for this game first appealed but then when i started playing it everthing just fell apart. The camera angles and the gun control that drake has is just terrible. Once again the idea for this game was one that sadly didn't turn even half as good as i thought as thought it would be. One of the bigest disappointment ever!!!! Graphics=3/10 Gameplay=4/10 Control=3/10 Story( didi mention that the story line is one one of the worst i've ever witnessed?)=1/10 Overall=2/10 1/5

One of the worst Video games ever created on a console

Two words can describe this garbage.....it sucks..

I won't even go to detail all I will say is not only is the gameplay glitched up and horrible to do especially how to controll drake, but the story is just plain stupid. Gamer no how doesn't know what he's talking about

Gameplay is just plain awful
Music...............I'm not even gonna go there
The controls is just plain awful

I have to give it a 1 out of 5...Hell I wish I could give it -5 stars but I can't

WHAT EVER YOU DO DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!

THE WORST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED!!!!!!

When you try to target the enemies your hands go inall sorts of directions and then your wondering why am i playing this hunk of junk? if that doesn't throw you off from playing it(i did for me) this will: the graphics are HORRIBLE and the camera angle in one least coperative i've ever seen!

GRAPHICS: 6/10 REPLAY VALUE: 1/10
COMPLEXITY:1/10 CONTROLS 1/10
OVERALL:1/10

HOPE THIS REVIEW HELPED IF IT DIDN'T THEN CHECK OUT THE OTHER ONES THEY SAY IT SUCKS TOO!!!!

Good Concepts, Hard Controls....ONLY 4 AVID GAMERS

1st of all i'd like to say I personally think this game is the best "underrated game" out there.

I'd like to start off by saying that this game is not for the average gamer. The control scheme is way too complex for any child too understand. Personally i found this too be the toughest Xbox game ie ever played including Halo (Legendary), Dead To Rights, Onimusha and then some others.

Some of the great concepts include the ability to walk on walls, and Drake's ability to slow time down/speed it up (A speed up, B slow down). But while Drake can slow time down he can also move fast and do double jumps. At 1st this is hard to master but once u got it down it is well worth it!! I am guessing that the "glitches" people are complaining about are the people who are having a hard time mastering the slow motion/speedinng up time and therefore it appears as a glitch.

As i mentioned before. Drake can also run up or sideways on walls and sometimes in order to run acrooss a really far wall u have to really know how to use the slowing motion/speeding up controls.

The shooting system is extremely difficult to master because it relies on the right thumbstick and the left and right triggers. Drake always has two weapons on him and the left trigger contorls the left hand and the right trigger the right hand so u can be aiming at 2 different enemies at once. The AI isnt very smart but it is hard becaue even if u try to get on top of a object the enemy will often go underneath it and it is near impossible to shoot him unless u go back and forth between to objects and get in 1 or 2 bullets when u can. Just because the AI isnt too smart thhough there are some things that are getting harder for me to figure out.(on level 12 so far)Plus it makes it harder cause all the levels are timed. SO DONT EXPECT A CAKEWALK BUT THE GAME DOES INVOLVE QUIT EA BIT OF STRATEGY! IF U WANT A GAME THAT WILL TRULY CHALLENGE YOUR SKILLS THEN THIS IS THE GAME FOR U!!

WOW!! JUST WOW!! COMPLETELY, HORRIBLY, AWFUL!!

hmm... this game must have been created as a "The worst pile of garbage, glitched game in world" joke to a company friend, but it accidently was released. or maybe the creators were just stoned and drunk. This game has crap graphics, it uses the AOL buddy log-on sound when you open doors and it is just horribly glitched beyond the point of humor. the auto-aim system is horribly glitched, the game has a crappy plot and the voice acting is awful making the main character sound retarded (literally). alot of the time the game glitches and causes it so you can't continue. it has awful AI and the dual gun thing looks dumb, as well as the cheap slo-mo crap (which isn't even impressive cause the controls are so sluggish). this game is worthless, and completely utter trash and unless you like being frustrated by glitches every second, play it, but this game sucks! don't listen to gamer-no-how he is either lying or he just has sever fetal-alohol syndrome; this game is a waste of money, space on earth and life to those who play it times 10 to the third power. Parents, if your kids want this game, slap them and say "NO!".

Sometimes I really wonder how anyone can give a game like this a good rating. I mean come on user, "gamer-no-how", how can you say this game is better than halo? Halo is one of the best games ever designed and this game just sucks. Re-evaluate your rating skills.

BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!
