Panzer Dragoon Orta

[old.UKTwister]

Just picked this up today, bloody excellent fun if you ask me

Started off thinking what the hell do i do here, but then noticed the handy tutorial in the menu which is superb and covers all aspects of the game.

The graphics are quite sweet, the action is quite fast and the controls take 10mins of getting used to, but after that its sheer quality.

The morphing between 3 dragons is an vital part of the game as they all have there strengths and weaknesses.

Oh.. and i certainly wouldn't recommend eplipetics playin this game

aye it is a good game, but i think the 3rd dragon morph ( fastest one with no lock ons) make the game too easy to compleate.

if you liked...

if you liked Dragoon, Rez plays similar (well, sort of, not quite as much depth). Still worth a play.

This will be the first (and currently only) game I get when I get a green XBox next week.

pherhaps the msr update sega gt 2k JSRF and dragoon are the only games to get on the xbox atm.

Not interested in MSR. Sega GT ??? (it's shit!) or JSRF.



Come to think of it, I may not even bother unpacking the XBox until something AAA comes out. :/

PDO is dire imo :/

personally i think sega gt and PGR are great games - some of the best racing games i have played.

just played the xbox version of Toca race driver too and thats not bad either

I was unimpressed by S-GT, PGR on the other hand is fucking good (and fucking hard :-\).

TOCA:RD is ok, the view choices you are given in multiplayer mode are appalling though.

I like Rallisport Challenge

Colin McCrae 3 is supposed to be a bit good too (although hard).

There are some good Xbox games out this month:

Yager (looks amazing)
Brute Force
MotoGP2 (fantastic racer and makes excellent use of Live)
Burnout 2 (first was quite good i've heard)
PSO (if your that way inclined - im not)
Enter The Matrix (looks good but this could so easily follow the 'film license + game = absolute shite' formula)
Wolfenstein (online but probably not worth bothering with if u have the PC version)

Then in July you get (hopefully) the almighty Star Wars: KOTOR, which was ones the main reasons I got an xbox.

Rallisport Challenge is fantastic, great for both single and multiplayer (best with 4 people )

CM3 is ok for single player, but multiplayer is sorely lacking.

 

[old.UKTwister]

brute force is xbox's next "big" title so to speak. lets hope it lives upto expectations and hope the delays were worth while.

I think v-rally 3 is out this month too which got an 8.2 on gamespot so plenty of good racing games comin out.

Sega GT 2002 and Project Gotham are both good games (pgr especially, my all time fav racing game. to date.)
Xbox does have some quality titles - Halo reminded me you dont need to be jumping round like a 10yo on speed to enjoy a fps. Soul Calibur 2, best version. DOA3, amazing to look at and just as playable.
Yes, there is probably better exclusive games on PS2 and gamecube, but the xbox, for 130 notes especially, is well worth a purchase.

IMHO.
