Drake of the 99 Dragons (XBOX) - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)

[@yourbigheadcousin5434]

What sucks about this game, besides everything, is you can tell that someone had a grand vision for it and it simply wasn't executed.

[@alexinmacriters]

That's the thing about most bad games, the idea is amazing, but the execution is terrible

The truck going backwards in the middle of the street was someone playing Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. You didn’t realize that, but eventually, when going in reverse so incredibly fast in Big Rigs, you actually teleport through other shitty games. This one is the only one that’s so bad, you actually find the truck moving, as it constipates the truck just enough, with all its excess shitiness, that it slows it down just enough to be visible.

Nerd, you might not see this, but other people might. You absolutely NEED to try Chakan: The Forever Man for the sega genesis. The pinnacle of hard and cryptic gameplay on that console. LIKE IF YOU WANT THE NERD TO REVIEW CHAKAN!!!

[@Burn_Angel]

I second that. I've hardly ever played Chakan, yet I agree. And Earnest Evans. Earnest Evans may be the worst Genesis game ever.

[@tomasbarber4139]

@@Burn_Angel Oh yeah. Earnest Evans definitely earned its bad reputation. Although it has a pretty kick ass soundtrack. The only thing that it's worth the torment of playing it

[@tomasbarber4139]

@@Burn_Angel Thanks for the support, my man. :)

[@Burn_Angel]

Tomas Barber Can't argue with that. It has an awesome soundtrack, at par with its prequel, El Viento's, if not even better. And the Sega CD version is even better in that regard.

[@KyoMao]

I fucking loved that game

[@Eevivivi]

this game probably could have been cool if they'd finished making it before they released it.

[@bathoryaria4127]

Agreed. I like the Bruce Timm-esque character design, and I imagine the game *would* have played something like Tenchu 3, but it's obviously just an incomplete mess :/

I feel like the xbox is still somewhat new when I think of old systems I think of the Intellivision, Atari 2600, Nes, Turbo Graphx 16 etc.

[@Alex-eu6rw]

Necramonium considering the Nerd started reviewing games in 04 and he did SNES games that would have been 14 years old and younger at the time, this game is 15 years old so it actually does fit with his motif. Like it or not, Xbox, Gamecube, Playstation 1 & 2 are now old enough to be considered retro(Also the fact that these are 3-4 generations behind.).
