I was not much of an X-Box fan mainly because I am not much of a FPS fan. But there was one game for it that I throughly enjoyed and that was Panzer Dragoon Orta.

It is the latest game in Sega's Panzer Dragoon series from the Sega Saturn. Overall it is one of the best games for the Original X-Box IMO. The game is about this young girl Orta who embarks on a journey to find out about her past and save the world from an evil empire using genetically engineered creatures know as Dragonmaires. She is guided by a large and powerful dragon which she rides into battle.

The game is basically a 3rd person rail shooter similar to Star Fox. However unlike most rail shooter this game offers 360 degree range of fire and this adds to the challenge since enemies come at you from all angles. When on the dragon you have 3 different modes/wings to use. Base wing which is the most balances, Heavy wing which is the most powerful, and Glide wing which is the fastest and most maneuverable. Each one gains strength as you use each one very similar to an RPG.

Well how about some gameplay footage for you all:

This game does work on the X-Box 360 so if you are looking for a game with good gameplay and a great story I highly recomend this game.
