The next time someone on this forum whines about Xenogears being a bad game with a great plot, I'm going to point them to Drakengard. The story and setting are really cool and interesting, but my god the gameplay is atrocious.

Imagine if Dynasty Warriors and Panzer Dragoon got together and had an RPG baby, but then the baby had a host of physical and mental issues because the two soon found out they were actually brother and sister separated at birth and now the powers that be were punishing them for their unholy union.

I don't quite know which is worse in the Dynasty warrior sections: the awful camera, the awful tracking, or the inability to control either. For the Panzer sections, the controls are terrible and the dragon feels like piloting a jumbo jet through molasses, you know your turning because you're doing so with the controls, but I'm not sure if the game and screen are on the same page as you. Also the enemies in that section have way better range and tracking than you do.
