Panzer Dragoon Orta
Overall: The purist's game: Addictive, exhilirating but above all, fun. Your Xbox isn't complete without it. Outstanding.Gameplay: Hold down the A button; drag cursor over enemies; let go of A button - Kaboom!.....it would be fair to say that essentialy wraps up the main core of Panzer Dragoon's gameplay but keep digging and you'll find out just how deep the game is.
Yeh, sure, novices will be able to scrape their way through the first level or two on the Easy setting, but when things get tough, things get really tough. This is where your skills - and subsequently - your perserverence are put to the test.
The real genius about Panzer Dragoon is how divinely pitched the learning curve is. When you die, it's your fault - there are no gaming glitches to be found here, oh no. Novices brave(or cocky) enough to jump straight into the harder difficulty settings will get annihalated - so much so, they might steer well clear of the game from there on. But to do so would be a great shame. Persevere, and, with time, you'll be blasting through the levels like there's no tomorrow, eyes glued to the radar and morphing your dragoon to adapt to any particular situation like it's second nature.
It's when you get to this stage, you realise how beautifully crafted the game really is and how it captivates like no other.
Replay value is astonishing for a game of it's like - bonus levels, artwork, info.....hell, you even have the chance to unlock the original Panzer Dragoon in all it's glory to plough through at your own leisure.
When it comes to value for money, you can't ask for more than this. The lack of a multiplayer mode prevents this from being the ultimate gaming package - as it stands, it'll just have to be content with being an incredible one.
Graphics: Awesome. Lush open expanses, coupled with incredible lighting and scope.......you won't see a better looking game on the 'Box. Lovely water effects too......yum.
Audio: Nothing oustanding in this department, but by no means bad. The calm, soothing music is in stark contrast with the frantic action on screen and is all the better for it. Nice work.
Suggestions: Improved save system, hmmmmm?
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
