    There is essentially no freedom of movement in this game. It's nothing but pretty graphics and alot of button smashing. I was bored with it in the first 20 minutes.

    Yeah, a shoot 'em up game? No, I don't think so. Bored to pieces in less than five minutes. The freedom the creators sacrificed for better graphics was too much. They ruined the game...however, with the ability to maneuver and fire like unreal championship 2 it could definitely win some brownie points. But it doesn't have it, so it won't.

    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.    … Expand

    This is the only XBox game I've ever played that gave me "Nintendo thumb" after 10 minutes. Big disappointment. Besides the pretty stuff, what's the appeal? If you liked Centipede, you'll love this.

    No replay value, a good rent, that is all!

    This game sucked. Trying to dodge something, and then being stopped a INVISIBLE WALL, getting hit, and dying. WTF? If this is what railshooters are about, they suck. This is annoying, especially when fighting the last boss. I don't know y people are trashing Brittany for having a brain and an opinion. Guys, sucks me.

    Simply gorgeous. From both a design standpoint and a technological one, Orta is one of the richest experiences you can have involving both your Xbox and your eyes.

    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.

    Orta actually comes packed with a few surprising enhancements, injecting some depth into the gameplay. [Jan 2003, p.105]
