* FakeDifficulty: The game is ''very'' hard. Not because of any legitimate difficulty, but because the game is so supremely, fundamentally broken on every level that even the ''tutorial fight'' can easily kick your ass. The game's auto-aim makes it difficult to land a hit on enemies (along with being mapped to the camera), the player frequently finds themselves in enclosed spaces, and the controls are rather slow and floaty.

''Drake of the 99 Dragons'' was a third person shooter for {{Xbox}} and PC, released back in 2003. It stars an undead assassin named Drake, the last surviving (kinda) member of the Dragon clan, on his quest to restore the Dragons' honor by eliminating the rival clan that killed them all and stole an ancient treasure of theirs.
While the game attempted to convey a sense of stylized comic book action by utilizing cel-shaded graphics and giving Drake the ability to wield two guns at once and stop time, ''Drake'' is much more notorious for its low production values and many camera issues, making the game [[FakeDifficulty needlessly difficult]]. For those reasons and more, it has earned itself a spot on many, many "worst game ever" lists.
