Panzer Dragoon II: Zwei - Finally finished the game. Such a fantastic game... it's very hard to decide between PD1 and PD2. I think PD1 starts out better, but the last chapter of PD2 was amazing, and PD2 has saving too, both of games in progress and your overall stats, which is fantastic, so it's tough to decide... both are so good.
I do think Orta might be the best of the three, though. It's bigger, got more levels, is harder, has more story, even more stunning, awe-inspiring scenes, and more. Of course though, being on the Xbox it is a generation beyond the Saturn titles, so you'd expect some of that. The Saturn games get a lot out of their hardware, with decent graphics, spectacular art design, incredibly great soundtracks, and great rail-shooter gameplay. Really, all three games are absolutely incredible. Panzer Dragoon is definitely the best rail shooter series, I think (Though I haven't played Sin & Punishment 2 yet...). Some individual titles match the PD games -- S&P, Star Fox 64, maybe Space Harrier -- but, comparing whole series, the three PD games are the greatest overall in their genre.
