Panzer Dragoon: Remake

Short. There's no real replayability here. Not worth full price. Buy if its on sale but only at a heavy discount (70% or above). Hoping the next remake is not as lackluster and lazy as this one was.

great, now please remake saga! (a full-on remake with fresh art would be killer). saga can absolutely go toe-to-toe with whatever nintendo cooks up next after their starfox remake

Its fun, it looks kinda rough in cutscene but during play it looks fine.

an all time classic

Recommended only if you can get it really cheap and have nostalgia for your childhood, otherwise no. The original panzer dragoon was really basic, and this is a faithful remake which updates the graphics and some aspects of the controls - but change nothing meaningful. It's 45-60mins to complete on normal, and there's little reason to play again. Also, the implementation is very minimal effort. When I started, it played havoc with my secondary screen as there is no borderless windowed mode, and it didn't set to the native resolution of my primary monitor - sloppy & amateaur. The input mapping screen is a visual mess, the warning message when you quit makes you think that you're going to start over from the beginning (you don't - there is autosave). When I finished, it gave me a cheat code to enter - but it said enter 'B' twice - B on the keyboard? The controller? I couldn't get it to work, but why do I have to enter a cheat code and not have it simply be unlocked? Because there has been minimal effort made on this. They neede to do more here. Some more modes, something else. Anything. I'm supporting this as I was such a fan of the original, that I'd like to get saga remade eventually! I hope they put more actual effort into panzer dragoon 2 and don't just use this engine again. I am not hopeful, though, as the developer they used seemds like a dodgy conveyorbelt of conversions and not a team of fans of the original - that's just how it seems.

Similar to Starfox, but with a cool, techno-fantasy theme and the ability to look and fire 360 degrees. Very short but very fun and replayable if you dig it.

[h1]Rating[/h1] 6/10 [h1]Intro[/h1] Mind you, I only have this, since it was bundled with House of the Dead 1 and 2. But whereas those games feel somewhat fair, in the sense that you know where you went wrong, I can't really say the same for this. The gameplay itself is quite fun in concept, being essentially an expanded interation of the Tornado stages in Sonic Adventure 1. But because you have a limited amount of room to move, it makes for dodging what's coming towards you in more difficult stages unfairly tricky and because it's in third-person, there's depth perception issues as well. I doubt I'll come back to this one. [h1]Positives[/h1] + Good soundtrack. + Good enemy variety. + Weapons have good impact. + Good aesthetics and graphics. [h1]Negatives[/h1] - Limited amount of movement to dodge enemies and their projectiles.

It's a classic shooter that's fun and challenging for first time players. Not a huge time sync, but great story, music and gameplay.

Game is really fun especially if you like on-rail shooters. Honestly the game can be pretty janky at times and it shows its an old classic game. I do feel like the controls when ur going to shoots on ur sides & back are a bit broken? When i switched to the sides or back i couldn't move the dragoon and had to rely on shooting any projectiles which honestly made switching cameras a bit frustrating but despite that it was fun to get through. Just keep in mind this game is very wonky and has a funny ending.

They're calling it the worst remake of all time (me) ((i'm they))
