Fluctuating frame rate. Bottom LineAccess Games' latest title is a lot like a TLC album: crazy, sexy, and just a little cool. It's also definitely not for kids.Drakengard 3 is a PS3-exclusive action-RPG from the minds that created the dark fantasy games Drakengard and Nier. Despite the connections these games have with one another, players can dive into Drakengard 3 without any prior series experience, as developer Access Games went out of their way to make Drakengard 3 more accessible to series newcomers. This is a very good thing, because the original Drakengard's story could easily be described as horrifically grim at best, and utterly batty at worst. Unfortunately, the newest Drakengard is weakened by repetitive gameplay and storytelling throughout, spoiling what could have been a great game.
Into the MadnessDrakengard was a horrifying and despairing nihilistic journey, and Nier was an emotionally charged tragedy. Drakengard 3 has stronger comedic elements, and it's lighter in tone than either of its predecessors, though it is still rooted in the realm of the bizarre and tragic. Drakengard 3 serves as a prequel to the original Drakengard and tells the story of Zero, a powerful magical being called an Intoner who has made it her goal to kill the five other Intoners who rule the known world—her own sisters.
Despite this dark premise, the story remains relatively light. Though a touch lighter than previous titles, Drakengard 3 is not at all a game for kids. First of all, it has strong sexual themes, which it emphasizes through character dialogue. It is established early on that Intoners have great sexual appetites, and that their male disciples serve as both magical amplifiers and sexual release. The game doesn't skirt the fact that Zero surrounds herself with men and sleeps with them. The male cast often hits on Zero during campfire exchanges between missions, and they frequently refer to previous trysts.In addition to sexually charged language, the characters make liberal use of vulgarity to get their point across.
This, alongside the bawdy sexual jokes and even pee and poop jokes, add layer of silly humor and quirkiness to an otherwise dark story about sororicide.On the other hand, the characters are very one-dimensional. Each one has a single defining trait and, with the exception of Zero and her dragon Mikhail, that's the sum total of their depth. The quirkiness falls flat fast, and, by the end of the first story branch, I was already getting tired of the characters. And there are four story branches in the Drakengard 3. The dialogue isn't particularly good, either. This is true of both event and combat exchanges. The voice cast does a very good job of delivering their lines, but some of the dialogue between characters sounds oddly translated and awkward, while other lines are boring and forgettable.Enemy dialogue is perhaps the most jarring.
As Zero slices her way through enemy hordes, her opponents cry, rally, or even ogle as they fight her. Strangely, however, enemies continue their banter even after they've expired, leading to awkward situations where dialogue is being delivered by no one.
What do you get when you combine the awesome fury of a Dragon with the mass slaughter gameplay personified by? A fairly kick-ass game, that's what., one of the latest titles from Square-Enix, provides just such gameplay opportunities. You take on the role of Caim, a powerful warrior fighting to protect his sister Furiae, known as the Goddess, from capture and harm. Aiding him in this role is a mighty dragon, bonded to him in an ancient and powerful pact. Thus you set the stage for history, thus you set the stage for conflict. Similar at first to Dynasty Warriors, prepare to deal with hordes of enemy foes dealing out basic combos left and right, with very little variation in the overall control scheme.
At first, with only one character to choose from, and a simple weapon that only hits three times in a single combo, you'll be asking yourself, where's the fun? Once you slog through the first level however, you'll see the beauty of the game's mechanic. First and foremost, the game's experience curve gives you more than enough power in any given scenario, as long as you can develop your strategy. As you pickup new weapons (some 65 in all) and they increase in power (by defeating enemies) you'll see the combo strings leap into the double digits.

Additionally, each weapon comes packed with a special magical attack. Featuring a timed charge attack during any given combo, it's readily apparent that one can kick some serious booty after just a short amount of practice.Dragon combat only gets slightly cooler, giving you access to a new flight sim style mode that's challenging but also very destructive. When you're in a normal ground combat, you can also leap onto the dragon's back to torch the enemies with a single explosive fireball or unleash serious destruction upon the baddies with a torrent of dragonsbreath.In the other areas of the game, Drakengard doesn't prove to be quite as hot. Graphically speaking, this game doesn't have the detailed backgrounds that prevent you from noticing how short the viewable distance is. Get used to enemies just 'appearing' in your sight all the time. Additionally, the developers at Square-Enix could've taken a page from Blizzard and featured an incredible wealth of color in this game, instead of resorting to the very (and I mean very) bland browns and grays that dominate Drakengard's color palette. Aurally, you don't have much else to work with, as most of the background music is repeated loops that quickly become tiresome.
