Drake of the 99 Dragons (Microsoft Xbox, 2003)

Product Specs

Description

Brought back from the dead to avenge his untimely demise, Drake will use both his martial arts skills and arsenal of weapons in this third-person shooter from Majesco Sales. The stylistic adventure offers a world no longer limited by the trappings of humanity. Drake now has the power to run up walls and perform backflips, somersault over furniture, and whip out dual pistols to exact the only form of justice that can satisfy his lust for vengeance. Draped in a black trench coat, the title character must travel across Neo Tokyo's dark indoor and outdoor locales while confronting enemy thugs, avoiding searchlights, and finding helpful pickups along the way. Drake can swap and use different weapons in either hand for those times when a simple pistol is not enough to handle multiple attackers at once. Interactive environments allow players to knock over objects, smash through windows, and destroy items amidst intense shootouts. In a manner similar to the film The Matrix and in games like Max Payne, players can slow down the action to avoid incoming bullets and for more precise targeting while performing acrobatics. The cartoon-like visuals feature a technology referred to as "rim lighting," a software-generated process that highlights textures and helps create more dramatic silhouettes and shadows.
