Panzer Dragoon Orta

Games these days, although they are terrific and better, are being increasingly complex to some people. Along comes "Panzer Dragoon Orta", combining a good saga of a story with simple, "Raiden Fighters"-like gameplay. In other words, it plays like an old-school, top-down rail shooter such as "Raiden Fighters" or "1942", except the point of view is behind the dragon instead of above it and you use the trigger buttons to turn around 90 degrees to kill the enemies surrounding you in the left or right or behind you. People may say that I should compare this more to "Star Fox", but, in actuality, you home on to enemies, use berzerker attacks, and get increasingly powerful as you level up. Also, in a stroke of originality, the dragon you control can change form with a touch of the Y button (either regular form, which is a basic dragon that can fire decent beams and have a decent glide gauge, or heavy form, which fires powerful beams but doesn't glide, or glide form, which has a longer glide gauge but does not home on to enemies but guides you to the nearby enemies). The story is that you play a girl who is captured in a prison but freed by a dragon and you befriend it and have it help you defeat the enemies. In other words, this game is very original and simple. 10/10
