I just bought the game today. I see that Drakengard (the first one) is a pretty decent game. Nothing too cool or heavy on the main concept and nothing new or awesome. The fighting/battle system is quite nice and slightly fluent. (Compared to Kingdom Hearts 2, I don't think so...) the controls are quite simple and nothing hard to account with, whether fighting on land or in the skies. 7.0, straight and average bottom line. (Well...duh....7 is going to be the average point in my rating.) Pros: Nice fighting effects Cons: Gay-a** music soundtrack.... It's completely corrupted.... Extra: How did I solve the music issue? Easy. I grabbed my iPod and hooked it up to my TV..er....stereo with an A/V cord (Audio/Video). I shuffled all the Square-Enix game soundtracks and played the game with no sounds. Yellow cord (video) = PS2 --> Drakengard Red and White cord (audio left and right) = iPOd --> FF & KH soundtracks
