Despite what some of the media hacks might have to say about Drakan: Order of the Flame, it is neither a Tomb Raider knock off or wannabe, because Tomb Raider simply does not have the level of atmosphere or sense of scale. This may be due to the fact that Tomb Raider is playing with a game and  graphics engine that is nearly five years old, with only minor nips, tucks  and improvements in its history while Drakan hit the ground running,  (flying!), with a brand new game engine.
