Everything she said about the game is the hardware's fault, most of it anyways. Consoles are very bad when developers try to do something new with limited hardware. People who play WoW would love this game, since they're grinders.
This game is good in small doses but I get bored with it if i sit down and play it for more then an hour. It would have been better if there was a better combo system for attacks.
This game was AMAZING! If you liked killing wave after wave, after wave, after wave x 1,000 of bad guys. It's so repetitive! I didn't like it when I played on my ps2
No, like Nier, this game was amazing if you like a great story and well developed characters that are different from the norm. Yoko Taro games tend to be quite bland graphically and gameplay wise, but his characters, lore, worlds and storytelling are unmatched.
I only have one thing to say to this... its half true, but near the end when you said something about its graphics being behind, please check before you stay stuff like that, there was still games that had no voices, or no lip-sinking... and then theres front mission 4 wich i hated for batlle setup.... but it was still ok
if you played this first and liked it, before drakan i would have to question your gaming tastes... as sqaure has proven in the past their not perfect, and dosen't deserve the cult following it picks up, imo... like it has been said this is a subpar game, not one of squares shining non FF games...
I have it, and only play it when I feel like hopping on a dragon and whipping out like a million of those evil solder guys. Its GREAT if you are mad/ stressed its repetitiveness is relaxing.

All these themes were muffled if not completely removed. but even so the esrb decided since it was based on these ideas it still couldnt be labeled T.
Honestly this game deserves a lot of respect considering how good the storyline still is after it was completely dismantled.
(i recommend anyone who liked drakengard to try the Japanese version 'drag-on dragoon')
i really like drakengard and really want to find out what things were taken out of the english version and what the true story line is (like who is nowe's mother and father) please if you've got the time could you p.m me more about it.
by the way, let me clear things up regarding the rating. this game was rated as an adult game in japan 'because' of the story line. Drakengard has a lot of controversial topics for example Leonard was 'in the japanese game' a pedophile and the fairy around him would mock him calling him a demon. and the game also had the psychology surrounding incest (Furiae).
but you didnt consider its age. Back then the gameplay was awesome for me. 1 thing you got right was this game isn't hard, its just tedious. Id pay 50 bucks for this any day 9well back in the day, no way now with wii/360/ps3 games out) 8/10 for me.
That music in the background did annoy me. I guess I could try it. But I'm only 11. Darn. (Also, I've never heard you cuss before. Maybe it's 'cause of the M rating? I dunno. Oh, an don't hold my young-ness against me. :O)
You have to unlock the third ending. You won't get to use her until chapter 12 though. :/
Yeah, I've been a DG fan for 4 years now, and I gotta say that the actual gameplay isn't the best. I've played better, but I've also played much, MUCH worse (look up a game called Dragon Rage if you want REALLY shitty graphics).
Still, the incredibly unique and somewhat rough storyline of the game is really what made it stick out to me. Overall, I'd give it about a 6/10. c:
The only thing that kept me going through the game is the story. Drakan is awesome, which I just finally found and ordered off Amazon. I rented Drakangard. I wouldn't buy this game now that I've played and rented it.
It was OK; I beat it in three days, so it kept me busy. : D
Huh. Kind of reminds me of Dynasty Warriors, except more blood and guts and stuff. Not to mention you get to fly a dragon. I think you're right though. Drakan's probably much better. Probably because I've played it since I was eight years old. lol
To say that this story is decent is poor. This game touches on so many issues left behind by other Mature-Rated games (Eating children, gays, controversial topics), that I found the storyline completely amazing. Whenever it's brought up in conversation, I always say it's unfair to compare Drakengard's story to any other one you can think of. The whole Seal Destruction story is used a lot, but it's delivered in a completely original manner. I agree with the rest of what you said, though.
This is a first, and not just the first comment. I 'm the first to ever see this video. Awesome. This game seems rather interesting mabey I could at least rent it like you said I mean Square has never let me down before.

You should know if you beat the game that the dragons name is Angules T.T
Drakengard kicks a** expeshally that Dakan game.
Sorry, little peaved. You should play the second game and that may change your opinion. That and if you dont Angules will burn you >=3 jk jk

To say that this story is decent is poor. This game touches on so many issues left behind by other Mature-Rated games (Eating children, gays, controversial topics), that I found the storyline completely amazing. Whenever it's brought up in conversation, I always say it's unfair to compare Drakengard's story to any other one you can think of. The whole Seal Destruction story is used a lot, but it's delivered in a completely original manner. I agree with the rest of what you said, though.
