Jonny Drama

Jonny Drama is a cancelled Xbox game from Sierra. It was to be a light-hearted parody of spy films and games.

Plot
You would of played as the eponymous Jonny Drama, former movie star but current spy. Dr. Bumbershoot, the villain of the game, wants to take over the world. It's all groovy baby, as the plot takes a back seat to the action parts.

Gameplay
A horde of weapons that would at your disposal. From laser guns to lockpicks to security-camera-jamming-thingies. You can also drive around in a sidecar motorcycle, among other vehicles.

Being a spy game, there is a duality of stealth and action here. The game would have been fast-paced, only slowed down by stealth and puzzles. There was also to be a four-player multiplayer, likely a deathmatch mode.

The feeling and mood of the game is enhanced by the cel-shaded graphics. The cartoony gameplay works better with cartoony graphics. The music would dynamically change, giving a unique track for every situation.

Cancellation
Jonny Drama failed to impress at E3 2001 due to poor frame rate and optimization. Sierra went back to the drawing board, pushing the release date to 'indefinite'. That was the death knell of the game; it would never leave hiatus.
