This game is fun to play if you like shooting games, the challenge is flying your dragon. Getting your enemies is easy there is a lock on feature that you can use to kill several at the same time. Which is helpful since you do tend to groups of enemies at any time. Just have to get used to changing your view to be able to see your enemies sometimes they're not always in the front, but on the side, or behind you. This is a great shooting game I rate it 5 out of 5 stars.
This is by far the best game on XBOX and one of the top 3 on all XBOX consoles! Expect this game to go up as a high dollar collectors item as it did on Sega Saturn. I have been playing through on the hardest level and it is an awesome experience! Love rail shooters and Panzer Dragoon series is best of all time!

For those of you not familiar with this game (as I was)...as a Shooter game it is very intense, you have to adapt to an aerial arena/combat style that is very different for an "old-school" dodge and shoot Scrolling shooter, enemies come at you from the 4 main compass headings (N,S,E,W) thus you need to be ready to "morph" your Dragon into 1 of 3 different styles (light, medium and heavy or look at it as: Fast, Average, and Slow) each has a role, you decide how to defeat an opponent. You will also need to be aware that there can be "Above and Below" enemies so keep your eyes peeled as the radar won't indicate this fact so I'm just warning you as the review I read gave this game high reviews, but to be honest...the most annoying fact left out is 99% of the game is spoken in Japanese and the subtitles scroll far to fast, you just basically react to ingame situations, there is very little time to enjoy the story and the game in unison. So for me I can't agree with the higher end reviews in the bigger picture and thus can't give the game more than a 6.5 at best out of 10. The "Save System" is adequate at best during mission breaks, saving at a checkpoint still forced me to start the mission from the beginnig instead of at "that" particular check point would be the logical conclusion thus this issuse also degrades my overall approval of this game. Good points for excellent graphics and in-game controls and I experienced no slow frame rates of glitching on my xbox360 system. The negative points I found with the controls I'd class as ultra sensitive which forces you to use the "homing weapons" far more than I would prefer...Leading a target based on its flight-path and speed is more challenging then simply Button-mashing briefly for a target "lock-on" and firing. By no means is this game a cakewalk as I was presented with more than enough challenges just learning the game on the lowest settings and if "low" is difficult for this 30yr + gamer, the average and harder difficulties will be basically impossible to defeat so take this review at your own risk. I hope this wasn't to harsh of a review, but I have my "particular tastes" and warning the public of pertinent facts that should have been in the "reviews" I read is just how I feel about certain advertising aspects, it's up to you "the better informed public" to decide if this review was of any purchasing assistance or not.

Panzer Dragoon Orta is one of the most visually stunning games available for the Xbox. Though it is an "on rails" shooter a la Star Fox, a lot of thought was put into the design towards moving the game away from a simple shooter. The ability to change into 3 different dragoon forms each with unique abilities and the fact that you must alternate between frantic button mashing and controlled button holding (to charge up homing lazers)add nice strategic elements. Hardcore fans of the old Sega Saturn games seem somewhat divided in their opinions as to these title's 'worthiness'. Don't worry about it! You can get this game for a song at Gamestop or on Ebay. You will certainly get your $7 worth of entertainment!
Panzer dragoon orta has very little violence, you'll get the same amount of violence from a teenage mutant ninja turtles game. And the game dose not lean towards adults only in any way. Its a great fun game, and holds up to the Panzer Dragoon name. The game had no glitches that I know of and was very smooth. Easy to learn, but very, very hard to master. Its a pick up and play game, and extremely addictive. You can not go wrong with a Panzer Dragoon game.
