PDO (Panzer Dragoon Orta)

[Natoi]

Looking good so far.. 92% on gamerankings.com based on 9 (p)reviews... I'm so envious of all the US folk for getting it this week.. Global releases should be made standard, it's annoying to wait for games to come out in the EU... I bet every NGC fan is feeling this pain too atm with MP? :)

I picked up a Jap copy of this game last week and I can honestly say you won't be disapointed.
It plays very much like Panzer Dragoon Zwei, albeit with incredible visuals and widescreen presentation. Ok Zwei had widescreen cutscenes but Orta really benefits from fulltime 16:9.
The choice of which Dragoon you need to use changes throughout each level adding a little bit of strategy to the game.

this game is tricky, even on normal I am getting nailed regularly.

Use his first form to charge your Berserk. Use the Glide Wing and boosting to dodge his green blasts "from beyond" in his second form.

And finally, lock onto his second/third forms BEFORE he fires his lock-on laser. If you don't do that, he'll cut you to shreds. You'll need to use the Basic Wing to do that best. Although the Heavy Wing will work as well, it won't block all of the beams.
