It’s no secret by now that Panzer Dragoon Orta is one of my favourite games ever. Whilst it’s a little sad that the Dreamcast couldn’t survive long enough to receive Panzer Dragoon Orta, there is a feeling that its supreme quality could only have been properly realised on Xbox. Exclusives like Jet Set Radio Future and Gunvalkyrie had already found a home on Microsoft’s powerhouse, but in 2003, Sega’s Panzer Dragoon series would finally make its big return to EU markets. At this point I was firmly entrenched in the Xbox camp, as I awaited the releases that Sega had originally previewed for their Dreamcast. As I pointed out in my retrospective for Legacy of Kain: Defiance, 2003 was an odd year.
