"The next big one"

Panzer Dragoon Orta

After a whole string of reviews I've read there is only one conclusion- this will be great.

Epic storyline, fantastic soundtrack, great old skool gameplay with new twists, tons of extras- including the saturn original not to mention the best visual experience Xbox has yet delivered. I'll back that up- I've seen footage.

And one more thing- Boss Battles! They're back. According to Gamespot, its one of the best blends between tried and tested gameplay with new technology. I like the sound of that.

Set youy money aside for this one guys.

Panzer Dragoon Orta is actually quite deeper than it lets on. However, if your the type of gamer, who will run through it once then put it on the shelf, then don't buy it. To maximise your enjoyment out of it, you really need to keep going back through it and attempting to obtain those elusive "S" rankings, which is a feat in itself. Oh, then there's the matter of unlocking all those goodies too, one of which is the PC version of Panzer Dragoon.

For me. It's the most visually impressive game I've seen on the XBox. The surrounding environments look fantastic and Orta and her Dragoon, well, when I fired up my copy of the game, the sound of jaw hitting floor could be heard.

Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. And a pleasure to play too!

Yeah, really looking forward to PDO. That old SEGA magic. Should be good. :)

i want it

I want it.
And I want it now.
Anyone got a *fast-forward life* pill?

No, because one day you'll want the fast-rewind pill.

Don't exist.

Meaning......

But,anyway.....back to the question.Yes very definetely.

I'm delighted to hear Smilebit working on the Gamecube now... afterall Jet Set Radio remains my favourite game EVER...

If i had an X-box I would only get it for Jet Set Radio Future. Honestly there isn't anything extra the X-box offers me that I want.

it would probably have been the greatest game ever released if it was on live

When it comes to the "next big one", I think there are a few X-Box titles that are worthy of this name coming out over the next couple of months. Besides Panzer Dragoon Orta, you've also got the likes of Steel Battalion, Toejam & Earl 3, Racing Evoluzione, Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic, MGS: Substance, Shenmue 2 and Brute Force.
