A fully polygonal experience, Drakan does a great job immersing you in its world. To ensure that you'll have no problem enjoying the graphical glory, Psygnosis included on the game CD drivers for about 10 major 3D cards that have been tested to work with the game. This is a terrific addition that more game companies should include, as it saves time and prevents headaches. But, while the pain of finding working drivers is alleviated, a different kind of ache arises, the kind of issue that haunts a game reviewer for the rest of his days. For all its glory, Drakan suffers from a bizarre mix of gameplay bugs.
Crashes are common.
Clipping errors can result in passing through doors that normally require a key. Arokh occasionally gets stuck while trying to navigate through a tight cavern. And these only scratch the surface. Perhaps the most heinous bug I found while playing was an inventory mishap. It seems I needed a certain amulet to pass through a gate.
