Considering the short time frame and the demands, Majesco did a rather competent job at making a game, in that it is playable. This all might’ve not even been relevant if the creators of Drake, Idol FX, weren’t trying to rush it all out at once to get the ball rolling, leaving Majesco with 6 months to make a game ( Problem #3).
DRAKE OF THE 99 DRAGONS INTERVIEW TV
Video Games are a flimsy base and even the aforementioned Pokemon caught most of the mainstream with its TV show. It’s not like He-Man where you can build a franchise off of toys or Star Wars that spun-off from a blockbuster hit. The success of things like Pokemon has emboldened many game companies to try and launch a franchise off the back of a video game, but the thing is, multimedia franchises like those are a surprise. 9 (which is at least 9 times better than Drake), you cannot try to build an entire franchise before you’ve actually set down the proper groundwork. As we have seen recently with the cases like Mighty No. Drake of the 99 Dragons was not conceived simply as a game, but as a launching point for an entire franchise ( Problem #2). …As much as I’d love to leave that hanging, I do have stuff to say about that subject. Here are 99 problems with Drake and the 99 Dragons. But the question of course is… is it really that bad? Well, I feel it’s only appropriate that I dissect the game in a manner befitting the arbitrary number in the game’s title. The boxart certainly masks the contents within, and while it probably won’t lure you into taking it off the shelf, this game hides all the components of yet another terrible game, one so bad it managed to supplant Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis as the go-to terrible Xbox game.
Mainly in that, they were actually trying to make a really good game with Drake, but failed utterly. Although not quite as infamous as other bad games, Drake of the 99 Dragons is a stain on Majesco’s history, a history already pock-marked with all sorts of ups and downs, but Drake stands out in a way that the Nacho Libre tie-in DS game and The Daring Game for Girls do not.
