No medieval fun :(

No medieval enthusiast could resist the fire power of a dragon mixed with the audacity of medieval weaponry. Drakengard combines the best of both worlds seamlessly. The player has the ability to flow from reeking havoc with a powerful dragon to jumping off the dragon's back and slaying the enemy with the all mighty sword. With a barrage of weapons to choose from, slaying countless enemies has never been so much fun. The game follows a linear path through a story with a sub-par plot that will have most gamers trying to advance the dialog as quickly as possible. Control of melee attack on the ground is very good and it is very easy to link together some monster combos. There are many different weapons that can be collected and every kill made with a weapon increases its experience points until it levels up. The weapon then has more power and the ability to do longer, more powerful combination attacks. Every weapon is unique in its own way. Weapons can easily be switched during the course of a mission. The air missions that must be completed by only using the dragon tend to be little fun and take quite a few tries to complete. The dogfight system in the air missions is very weak making locking on to your opponent both hard and useless. The melee hacking and slashing, and the rain of fire from the dragon is fun, for a while. Then the game gets repetitive with little innovation as the game progresses. Without a strong plot to keep the player interested, this game is a bust in no time. The game would be better if the player had to fight less pawns with little AI and more higher-level opponents that required strategic moves to defeat. Few people with find this game entertaining for long. I suggest staying away completely, or borrowing it from a friend that was lured into buying it with false hopes of a good medieval dragon game. ~Kevin Nuest
