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.

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.

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]
As you can see, the negative reviews are complete baloney and make no good points about any supposed flaws in this game. In reality, this is the king of rail shooters. It takes a ton of skill and practice to complete the game even on normal mode, and the mechanics are very deep. You have a lot more freedom to move and shoot than any other rail shooter out there, as you can pan the camera 360 degrees to shoot things all around you. You can even move around bosses, literally, to the front, sides, and back, as you please. Add to all this the ability to change dragon forms between 3 different dragons, and a complex leveling system, and you have a crazy gem ****. There's absolutely loads of replay value here, too. Besides just trying to master the main game, you can unlock special scenarios and the original full Panzer Dragoon game that came out on the Sega Saturn. The only flaws the game has are just in figuring out how the heck to beat some of the bosses, but as this does add to the replay and challenge, it's really no big deal. With a beautiful shooter like Orta packaged with the original classic game, you have to give this game a high score. The effort they put forth is tremendous, and it shows.

Perfect Game. 10 fast levels, with a magnificent gameplay skill-based and a lot of tough boss battle. The graphic is awesome, expecially for the year of release, musics also are good. The background story is really interesting and it's a shame that Panzer Dragoon Saga, the "prequel", is so expensive to **** rare to buy. This game introduced me inside the "Panzer Dragoon world", Orta is probably one of my favourite game of all time. Hope that Sega (maybe with Nintendo?) one day will retake this series again...
10/10, brilliant, perfect, awesome.

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.
