Panzer Dragoon Orta

This is the possibly the best game to grace the genre in years. With tons of things to unlock, and considerable replayability, dedicated gamers will enjoy this title for years to come.

One of those games that keeps sucking me back in to play on harder levels or try to get farther in the alternate missions.

One of the best shooters ever crafted for the Xbox or any system, a graphical delight with enough depth that even after you've completed it once or even a few times, you'll be likely to come back for another play.

Like taking a trip through a modern art museum…except all of the paintings are moving, all the sculptures are breathing, and every display is shooting swarms of genetically enhanced laser missiles at the thoughts inside your head.

The most beautiful shooter we've ever played. In fact, it's a work of art. [Feb/Mar 2003, p.74]

Orta actually comes packed with a few surprising enhancements, injecting some depth into the gameplay. [Jan 2003, p.105]

Beautiful and inspired, but too short.

I simply loved it. It may seem a bit on the hard side, but with a bit of practice you get the hang of it and have a great time. The gameplay is great, it's the most varied on-rails shooter I have played so far. If you got any system capable of running it (literally every Xbox iteration plays it great), don't doubt on trying it out!

This is, in my opinion, the best Original Xbox game. One could say that the two Halo games are better, and I definitely cannot argue with that! Panzer Dragoon Orta is just more up my alley. Panzer Dragoon Orta's graphics transcend the era that it is from, it is an absolutely stunning game. The soundtrack is amazing and fitting as well. All I'll say about the gameplay is that it is an on-rails shooter. It has a very alien, ancient, and primal aesthetic. If any of that sounds cool to you, and if you like games like Star Fox 64, then do yourself a favor and try this game.

A very good game, great gameplay, controls, a very, very underestimated classic, today such games are not made

Its a fun and unique game, but can be difficult. Once i'm actually able to get past the 4th level ill get back to you...................................

Un shoot'em up très, très... limité et rapidement très ennuyeux (comme ce sous-genre l'exige à dire vrai) d'autant que c'est édité par Sega (Sega, c'est pas ça, Sega, c'est caca) et développé par je ne sais qui (on s'en fout, c'est de la merde de toute manière). Sa seule qualité, c'est qu'il reste encore joli (mais pas forcément de bon goût, ils ont oublié d'en acheter et d'en mettre...) joli surtout via le programme de rétrocompatibilité mis en oeuvre par Microsoft sur une sélection de quelques titres Xbox toute première du nom : ainsi sur One X, ce vieux machin tourne en 4K et sans à-coups ! Mais là aussi, on s'en fout un peu quand même... en fait. Car même comme simple shoot machin demeuré, la jouabilité est injouable, la maniabilité pas maniable et le shoot-couloir est très répétitif.
