Famitsu Xbox reviews Panzer Dragoon Orta
If there was any doubt in your mind that a Japanese developer could create a triple-A title for the Xbox, those worries should forever be put to rest. In the latest issue of Famitsu Xbox, Smilebit's Panzer Dragoon Orta received three 10's and an 8 for a total of 38 and the prestigious platinum award. Also worth mentioning is several unlockables present in the new Panzer Dragoon installment, including the original Panzer Dragoon, released previously only on the Saturn, as well as several CG movies from the three previous Panzer Dragoon titles.

With just a little over a month till the U.S. release of Orta, Xbox gamers should be saving cash and vacation time in anticipation for what could be the greatest episode in an already classic series. Panzer Dragoon Orta releases domestically January 14th.

A 38!!! Wow thats a whole 28 better than a perfect 10!! ITS THE BEST GAME EVER MADE!!!!

Seriously, what the hell does that score mean?

lol ok Famitsu review games in a different way to most other magazines! There are 4 reviewers who can each give up to 10 points each giving a total of 40 points. So 38 out of 40 is a very very good score for a game to get (I think it’s the highest they have every give an Xbox game).

Wow, that is a great score. Its equivalent to EGM reviewers giving it a 10, 10, 9. Excellent score. I can't wait to see what this game looks like in my XBox.

Too bad it probably won't sell great in the states.

I was browsing another forum and some guy posted the same article, but it stated that Panzer Dragoon Orta actually received 4 10's for a perfect score of 40 from Famitsu. So now I am wondering which review is true. Does anyone know for sure? Not that it matters that much...

One of the reviews could have been from Xbox Famitsu and one from just plane old Famitsu! Maybe!

well, I played the demo...

it's....nice?

don't get yourselves too hyped up...it's not a perfect 10-type of game

I was quite disappointed, I thought the game would be mind-blowing. The graphics are very nice, but the gameplay is pretty damn simple and generic. You move the 'crosshairs' around and shoot down enemies while you fly through a beautiful canyon or sky or what have you.

I really hope the entire game doesn't have the same gameplay as the level in the demo I played. It feels like it would get stale quite quickly.
