Panzer Dragoon Orta Critic Reviews

GameSpy
Many games, these days, are largely about two things: experience and mechanics. In varying degrees, these two elements are the opposing points which form our total appreciation of a title. Some games are created almost solely for mechanics -- Virtua...read the complete Panzer Dragoon Orta review at GameSpy

Music is usually unnoticeable in Panzer. Yet playing without it would feel wrong, which is the ideal way music should be played in videogames. There aren't many songs but they are used in a way so that they never get boring. All the sound effects, from...read the complete Panzer Dragoon Orta review at DreamStation.cc

You play the role of a small girl named Orta (I know) who's spent her short life imprisoned by an evil empire. When her prison comes under attack she is freed by a strange looking dragon that becomes her weapon and her vehicle for escape from the empire...read the complete Panzer Dragoon Orta review at Contact Music

Unfortunately, Panzer Dragoon Orta came up short, literally, with it's complete lack of actual gameplay. This game felt like more of a coin-op than an actual console game....read the complete Panzer Dragoon Orta review at Netjak

Fortunately the story is secondary, though, because this game is all about the action. The idea of riding a dragon around might evoke images of wild, freewheeling dogfights, but it doesn’t really work that way. Except for a few tight corners where you...read the complete Panzer Dragoon Orta review at Game Info Wire

The gameplay is great with a very nice story, perfect responsive control and three difficulty levels. It is a rail shooter that focuses on destroying everything you see as quickly and as accurately as possible. You have three modes of fire; single blast,...read the complete Panzer Dragoon Orta review at Extreme Gamer

Nope. Each of the three dragon forms evolves throughout the game. As you gain experience by blasting hordes of bad guys, the dragon is able to collect experience upgrades, which will, in time increase its abilities. It's worth noting, though, that you...read the complete Panzer Dragoon Orta review at Boomtown

Traditionally, 2D top-down and side-scrolling blasters like Contra, Radiant Silvergun and Gradius are the masters of making us sweat buckets. Now Panzer Dragoon Orta on Xbox is joining this exclusive club of arcade thrillers, with hardcore 3D action...read the complete Panzer Dragoon Orta review at Computer & Video Games UK

The sound and music don’t particularly damage this offering, but could have been a lot better considering the quality put into the gameplay and graphics....read the complete Panzer Dragoon Orta review at Adrenaline Vault

A beautiful game - and stands as a landmark 3D shoot 'em up; a refined, well designed and intelligent title and marks a real progression in the genre....read the complete Panzer Dragoon Orta review at Eurogamer

The game delivers everything you want in this kind of action game--great visuals, replayability, and enough button tapping action that I now have a green circle with a white A permanently tattooed on my thumb....read the complete Panzer Dragoon Orta review at Electric Playground

Let me start by saying that this game was made with the intentions that people all ready know the previous panzer dragoon story. Even though this is the fifth game in the series, it's number 4 in the actual story. The series got messed up when an...read the complete Panzer Dragoon Orta review at Game XC

Most of us have played some sort of shooter or another, and what sets them apart is how interesting and different they are from one another. Well Panzer Dragoon Orta is about as interesting and different as they get. You are Orta, riding a dragon that...read the complete Panzer Dragoon Orta review at Xbox Addict

As in the first two games in the series, the shooting action is set on rails, meaning players are automatically guided along pre-defined paths. Players can steer their dragon within the boundaries of the path, and can speed up or slow down to avoid...read the complete Panzer Dragoon Orta review at AllGame

Fortunately, things are a little more complicated than that. The action in Panzer Dragoon Orta takes place in a 360 degree viewpoint, with 90 degrees viewable at any one time. The triggers on the controller will change the viewpoint from the front to the...read the complete Panzer Dragoon Orta review at PALGN AU

Perhaps it's the limited control that you have over your dragon or the clichéd storylines (save the world, discover your true identity -- that sort of thing), but from beginning to end I played Orta with a surprising amount of indifference. I mean, I...read the complete Panzer Dragoon Orta review at Jaded Gamer
