Famitsu; Panzer Dragoon Orta score!

[gekko]

Is too a perfect 10 game

How were you disapointed? It's part of the Panzer Dragoon series, and aside from Saga, this is how they play. The same game that was a huge hit on Saturn, and the same one that's getting perfect 10s now.

Anything else wouldn't be Panzer Dragoon.

Firstly, I haven't played PD before. And I didn't know what to expect other than a shooter with very high-quality gameplay. Instead I got a pretty shooter with simple, somewhat boring gameplay. I don't care if it was a hit or not then, or if it's a hit or not now. I didn't enjoy the demo...

oh wait....this is a Sega game....no point in me voicing my opinion. I bet if Sony developed an identical game you wouldn't touch it.

for some reason I bet you're gonna say "but sony would never develop a game of this quality!!!11"

it's....nice?

don't get yourselves too hyped up...it's not a perfect 10-type of game

I was quite disappointed, I thought the game would be mind-blowing. The graphics are very nice, but the gameplay is pretty damn simple and generic. You move the 'crosshairs' around and shoot down enemies while you fly through a beautiful canyon or sky or what have you.

I really hope the entire game doesn't have the same gameplay as the level in the demo I played. It feels like it would get stale quite quickly.

Well that was only the first level and supposedly it was a very very old build (one that was made before the november-january delay) and smilebit has said that even that level has been improved.

One of the biggest problems with the demo was a total lack of challange (I can't imagine anyone but the most inept gameres dieing on even their first try.) I'm sure it will get more intense as time goes on.

I hope you at least rent this one before giving up on it.

Yeah, I have heard this game is not for everyone. And I think only the xbox famitsu reviewers have rated this game, yet.

I think it got a 35/40...

"The magazine also reviewed Panzer Dragoon Orta for Microsoft's Xbox. PDO earned a 35/40, or 8, 9, 9, and 9, and a platinum award."

I'm picking it up regardless (next week actually!) mostly because I played the previous ones endlessly on Saturn.

Dorimega, the DC mag turned Famitsu rival, gave it a 7.3/10. Which may actually be a fairer assessment. Maybe.

The Panzer Dragoon series is simply awesome...

Damn, a 38/40 is nearly perfect (the best score Famitsu has given a Xbox game).
