Drakan: The Ancients' Gates

THE GOOD:
This game is so awsome because of the blood & gore, the fact of being a girl warrior, & it's got dragons in it! This is the perfect game for me.

THE BAD:
It's got a lot of glitches, Arokh can't land some places where you need him, and you can't talk to most people more that twice.

SUMMARY:
This is the perfect game for any girl or boy who is interested in the middle ages, dragons, & killing and slaughtering. This is rated M for mature for blood & gore, but so what? So what if there is glitches? Every game has them. And Arokh landing? You just need to be more in the open for him, it's not his fault. And you should pay attention to everyone speaking, because they'll only say it probably once!! This game is just perfect. So if you have any comments about my review, e-mail them to me, but I probably won't even acknoledge that they're there & send them back to you. Hahahahahaha!!! Bye!

THE GOOD:
i like how it's a woman going around and fighting cuz it shows that women r strong 2. and that in this game women(maybe just Rynn) r better.

THE BAD:
Arokh can be really retarded and try to fly through trees or a building to land.

SUMMARY:
I really love game with dragons(i haven't found many) becaouse dragons r awesome. Dragons: fly, breath fire, r way strong, and look really kool. I love all the weapons. I play for hours. Sometimes it can get a little 2 gory, like when dead people r hanging from the ceiling. wats the point of that? overall this is the only ps2 game i play. it rocks.

The Drakan figures are well drawn, and the enemies are just like they should be: they look tough, but their skill advances along with the game. The graphics are some of the best I've ever seen, and you can play it very long before completing it. Rynn has amazing weapons and spells, and Arokh can fly and is even more powerful. The only bad comment I have is that you are bound to get stuck at least once.

THE GOOD:
slegs heads come off and they dont come back.

THE BAD:
After starting slegs on fire you cant stamp them out without losing health. Instead they just roll around on the ground screaming.

SUMMARY:
If you are a first person shooter fan. If you are a TUroc fan. If you dont have enough to buy this game, then steal the money from your mom. You are going to want to SOAK this game in. Dont buy a walk through, this game will keep you inserested and the have a auto save FINALLY. The game is perfect, handles like a new bike, visually better than that cute girl that lives down the block and super zoom on the teck bow lits you watch slegs and other baddies puck blood when you nail them with the poison arrows. What more can you ask.

THE GOOD:
I must say Rynn and Arokh are excellent characters! I myself even believed that they should have been joined by the soul.

THE BAD:
Load and save times are very poor. Sometimes you can get lost, but isn't that the point of a game, to figure it out? The AI could have used some work as well.

SUMMARY:
This epic tale of dragons and monsters brings a fantasy of human and animal being linked by their soul. They search to restore the order of the flame and have one hell of a time doing it. You get to venture into endless caves and tunnels. So many quests that you can play this game for hours, and have fun doing it. Don't let anyone tell you that this game sucks, they probably haven't played it. It is awesome, and I know that you will think so as well. Go out and get Drakan!

THE GOOD:
1)Olag the Blacksmith. He deserves his own third person advenure. Olag like that!!
2) Almost any portion of scenery can be flown to and investigated
3)Good voice acting among enemy and NPC's
4) Great fighting mechanism
5) Great Graphics

THE BAD:
1) Enemy AI is a tad dodgy
2) Bosses are easy to beat
3 Can't pause the game and acess the inventory!

SUMMARY:
I love this game. I have never been a fan of 3rd person games (ala Tomb Raider) but I think Drakan is fantastic because it is unashamedly fun to play and retro, kinda like Gauntlet with questy bits. Also the voice acting is superb, for example the Blacksmith refers to you as his Armour clad angel and the enemy Wartogs (Big troll things) shout things "I crush your skull. The only slight downside is that you can't really specialise in magic and archery effectively. Having said that the fighting is superbly fluid and i would...

THE GOOD:
The graphics, sound, gameplay overall. and oh yah...one name....Olag!! 'You..need club?...Club Good!'

THE BAD:
The gliches from time to time...and the AI was a bit lacking.

SUMMARY:
Great game. Gameplay is fun. Loading doesn't take too long. Nor does Saving. The game is long and runs pretty deep. But lack of sidequests. Dragon riding = AWESOME!!! hem hem....and then there's Olag!! 'you..pretty...you like Olag?'
I think this is a must have for any third person gamers...or those fond of the hack and slash games. Spells are cool...but they should be able to be hotslotted...but it's a great game!! A must buy for anyone!! Plus...after you beat it..you can still go around!!! never fooking ending!!

THE GOOD:
great game play. fly a dragon. use some kool spells. great selection of weapons!!

THE BAD:
glitchy, and poor A.I. arokh(SP?) sometimes acts dumb and cant land.

SUMMARY:
very good game. well worth the money. only 15 levels but they all are big. the A.I is somewhat poor but funny to watch. great spells and the landscape is awsome. very nice game i recomend to any one who likes thrid person action games.

THE GOOD:
-huge game world
-amazing graphics
-lots to explore
-characters are all audio
-lots of different weapons

THE BAD:
-tough to keep your level up to the weapons(that forces you to choose a certain style of play)
-difficult to cast magic, making most spells useless
-screen does not pause when you need to get inventory

SUMMARY:
This game brings you into a detailed fantasy world that has vast landscapes of valleys, mountains, rivers, lakes, and forests. Did the creators of Lord of the Rings make this game? WOW! It's amazing how much exploring you can really do. It's great to battle creatures on your own (no selection battle) and do it in three different styles(melee,archery,magic). It's tough to power up in all areas, so you have to pick a certain style. You can zoom in and snipe guys with arrows of all kinds, but you can't kill them fast enough if they run towards you, so...

THE GOOD:
Great Graphics, genious simply genious, Great spells.

THE BAD:
Stupid AI, and sometimes Arohk can be dumb.

SUMMARY:
I just love the graphics, they are nearly perfect, and the articulation of the characters is great! And sometimes seeing how stupid the enemies are is funny.
Othertimes its just sad.....
But all in all, its GREAT!! I love the dragon and aerial battles. They are great because you can chage altitude, circle, hover, dive, do what ever your heart desires. And the NPC interaction can also be amusing, like Hubert the drunk. And it has great looking monsters, like I said, I cannot get enough of the graphics.
