In a Word? Bleh. Square Enix's Drakengard

Pros The cutscenes are nice.
Cons The gameplay and in game graphics aren't.
Recommended it? No

When asked to describe Square-Enix's latest action role-playing game (RPG), Drakengard, most people talk about how it's a combination of Koei's Dynasty Warriors series and Sega's Panzer Dragoon games. This is an accurate assessment—but an even better one would be to say it's Square's version of... Read full review »

8 swords, one dragon, and only an hour to destroy everything

Pros Solid controls, varied gameplay, lots of options
Cons Voice acting, some slowdown, a few poorly rendered enemies
Recommended it? Yes

Last E3, when I stopped by Square Enix's booth, they wanted to show me one game in particular, one that they knew I wouldn't expect. Because, about a month before the show, they had merged with Enix, they got the rights to Drakengard, which was a title quite unlike anything Square had ever... Read full review »

Pros Well, uh...hrm. It's fun the first hour
Cons The pathetic, depressed, suicidal characters will make YOU depressed and suicidal
Recommended it? No

Since the Squaresoft/Enix merger that brought Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior together under the publishing arm of Square Enix, the games released by the publisher have been wholly of the Square side of the company. From the various Final Fantasy games (Tactics Advance, X-2, and Crystal... Read full review »

Drakengard: Good in air, bad on ground

Pros Beautiful cutscenes, amazing air combat, an interesting storyline
Cons Depressing storyline, graphics in game are poor, repetitive fighting on land.
Recommended it? No

Drakengard for the Playstation 2 has to say the least, the oddest storyline I have ever seen. It is basically Murphy's Law in a game form. What can go wrong for these poor characters, does.

In a nutshell, the story of Drakengard is interesting, weird, and finishes off extremely poor. You... Read full review »

The Enemies..Just..Keep..Coming

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Many enemies, ground and air combat, sound track
Cons In game graphics are pretty poor
Recommended it? Yes

The one thing that you will notice about this game, is the endless enemy count. Every time you take down a group of soldiers, there will just be more to replace them. This is how a hack 'n' slash game should be though. It should be able to satisfy the need for large scale battles you take on all... Read full review »

Great for fans of Drakan and Dynasty Warriors

Pros Great action, massive destruction, incredible graphics in cut-scenes
Cons Horribly repetitive, dragon over-powers ground weaponry.
Recommended it? Yes

When I first saw the television commercial for this game, I knew that I must buy it. I was a huge fan of both Dynasty Warriors 4 and Drakan, and I saw this game as a mix between the two. The idea of an RPG-style hack-and-slash game really appealed. And, of course, there is the awsome feature of the... Read full review »

You will never find a worse game, guaranteed or you sanity back!

Pros Has loads of weapons
Cons horrible voices, gameplay, AI, music
Recommended it? No

So what do you get when you take mad generic story line, painful to listen to wretched music, linear as hell gameplay, voice acting that could have been done via computer synth, and mentally challenged AI?

You may realize that my next word is Drakengard. If you did, you are correct.

Drakengard

Pros It had a unique way of getting experience.
Cons It's just another copy of kingdom hearts with a twist.
Recommended it? Yes

The game combines tactics much like Kingdom Hearts. You slice things up, grow levels, and you get money to get better weapons and armor. There are some different things though like you choose skills through a sphere grid and you can do combos to gain more exp. I bought it because it looked cool but... Read full review »
