    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]

    It would be nice to see somebody develop a game with a character that can fire two weapons independently but then again maybe there's a reason why nobody's done it yet. Drake tried, but like we said nobody has done it yet.

    It takes about five minutes with the game to realize it's a nightmare for everyone else, with ugly visuals, sloppy controls, a horrible camera and some of the most foolish storytelling we've seen. This one's a mess, folks.

    It'd be a bit better with a saner control scheme, but as it is, Drake is an exercise in frustration and repeated death. [Jan 2004, p.148]

    Just close your eyes and focus on the most wretched, mangled mess of ugliness that your brain can conceive and you've pretty much nailed Drake on the head. [Jan 2004, p.151]

    Aiming at enemies is nearly impossible. [Apr 2004, p.7]

    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 topersonally, 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

    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.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.… Expand
