Panzer Dragoon is a remake of a third-person rail shooter sharing the same title, which was originally released on Sega Saturn in 1995. The game, created by Team Andromeda, a Japanese team belonging to Sega, has become an iconic title over the years, not only because of its technical achievements, but also because of the atmosphere and the combination of fantasy and science-fiction elements resulting in a world which was expanded in subsequent editions and spin-offs. The last installment in the series - Panzer Dragoon Orta, was released on Xbox in 2002. The remake edition was developed by the Polish studio MegaPixel.

Game Ratings for Panzer Dragoon: Remake Video Game.
IGN: 6 / 10 by Mike Epstein
Panzer Dragoon: Remake restores a cult classic on-rails shooter, flaws and all.
Cubed3: 6 / 10 by Neil Flynn
At a cheaper price this could be recommended for a quick Sunday afternoon stroll, especially for anyone nostalgic of the original title. A nifty touch would have been to include the original game as an unlockable, which would at least help sweeten the fact that this can be completed within an hour or two. Despite its abundant and underwhelming flaws, Panzer Dragoon: Remake is still a piece of gaming history that deserves to be played, and shooting down waves of enemies does still prove to be satisfying.
The Digital Fix: 6 / 10
While I enjoyed the very short-lived remake of Panzer Dragoon, I had hoped that I would be given a few new bells and whistles to savor. However, what we have is the same classic game with improved graphics and controls. This will please purists massively but for me, the game is a bit too basic and short by today's standards. It is still fun though, and sometimes that is what matters most.
