Drake of the 99 Dragons

Have you played Drake of the 99 Dragons?
What are your thoughts?
Drake is the premier assassin of a Hong Kong based clan known as the 99 Dragons. While training in the Kwoon,[3][4] he hears a break in. He enters the chamber containing the Soul Portal Artifact, given to the clan over 3000 years ago, battling enemies before a mysterious Ghost Assassin swoops out of the room with the artifact. The assassin is in cahoots with Tang, a businessman and the clan's mortal enemy. Drake then pursues the assassin,[3][5] but is unable to stop the villain when he phases out of a window of the penthouse. He returns to the Master's chamber, only to find the corpses of himself, the Master, and the other members of his clan.

Shocked, Drake collapses, and the tattoo on his chest glows. In a flashback, Drake is given the tattoo of the Undying Dragon by The Master, which provides him with supernatural powers as well as immortality. The tattoo glows, and Drake unleashes the abilities to run up walls, slow down time, and freeze time. He explores the penthouse and collects thirty souls of his fallen comrades and enemies.[6] When the powers go to Drake's head, he leaps out a window and falls to his death. He then awakens in the Spirit Realm and is scolded by the four Spirit Gods. They inform him that he must collect more souls for the Undying Dragon and recover the Soul Portal Artifact in order to avenge his Master's death. They give him a new body and return him to the mortal realm. He pursues a courier and follows his blood trail to a fireworks factory. Drake shoots at him but is killed in a sudden explosion.

...it looked to me like some manner of bargain-basement version of 'Shadow Man', or the garbagey unofficial prequel to 'The Darkness'. Or a really bad rooty-tooty-run-n-shooty version of 'Soul Reaver'.

I considered buying a copy back when they were $0.01 USD at Amazon (new and sealed!), but now they're probably at least a dollar a pop. Doesn't seem worth it.
