4.1.4  Drakan: Order of the Flame

        [3rdPP action-adventure/lizard flight-sim, Psygnosis, 1999]

        PROS: No autoaim. Great graphics and large exterior levels.
              Aerial battles with dragon are good. Good inventory
              system. Decent enemy AI. Conanesque soundtrack.
        CONS: Lousy voice casting (valley girl-medieval?). Rynn is worse
              than Lara so far as bodyshape goes. Eventual empty feeling
              in level design -- too short overall? Uses DirectX.

        The flying lizard. It's a lot of fun. Rynn isn't. Her voice is
        as annoying as hell and she looks like a famine refugee on a
        diet. She doesn't have many of Lara's moves either, being she's
        limited to just running around and swinging her sword to
        explore. The game itself plays very well though with nice
        graphics, good sound and neat control -- with it's best
        advantage over TR being the mouse-aim (no simplistic llama
        autoaim here).  The demo gave me an empty feeling eventually,
        and reports of the full game say it's too short as well.
