Review c/o http://gnadegames.blogspot.com
If you are a ‘gamer’ you have no doubt heard of this game. You can currently find this title on Ebay and Half.com for around $200 (I actually sold mine for $380 about 5 years back when the graphics weren’t so vastly different). It is truly a collector’s item since only 30,000 or so were made for the US since it was near the end of the Sega Saturn. I actually owned a Saturn (and pretty much every game) and preordered this title and got a copy of this 4 disc RPG epic. It scored a perfect 10 across the board in EGM back then and was one of the finest games on the Sega Saturn not to mention one of the best games of the 32-bit era. You can learn more about this game at Wikipedia.
Gameplay: 10/10
Pros: Fusing the action of the panzer dragoon shooters into an RPG was no easy task, but Saga did it perfectly. The battles were exciting and action-packed with a real-time engine. You could even explore towns off your dragon as the boy and the world was incredibly immersive with one of the most epic stories of the era.
Cons: The gameplay was perfect and the only con is that more people didn’t get an opportunity to play this title.
Graphics: 9.5/10
Pros: I know the graphics look awful now, but they were among the best for Saturn. It’s hard to rant about dated graphics, but you can still appreciate the nice CG work for the story and the amazing character and creature design. At the time this was a beautiful title.
Cons: It had some of the quirks of a Saturn game, such as polygon clipping, poor textures, and weird zoom issues (as witnessed in the above video).
Sound/Music: 9/10
Pros: The score was epic and the subtitles and language barrier helped create an even eerier post-apocalyptic world filled with mutants and dragons.
Cons: It would have been nice to have the voicework of the premiere Playstation RPGs.
Lasting Appeal: 10/10
Pros: The game was LONG as in 4 Discs long and even after that there were additional dragons to unlock. The story was fantastic and I believed I played through the story at least twice. It was one of the most engrossing games and the best RPG I’ve ever experienced.
Cons: No more Saturn, no more Sega Consoles, no more Panzer Dragoon… It would seem that Panzer Dragoon Orta will probably be the last game in this excellent franchise as Sega seems to focus on crappy Sonic games over developing and expanding some of their excellent Saturn franchises (Burning Rangers, Nights anyone?).
Average: 96.25%
Tilt: +2.75%
It’s a shame that Saga will never see a sequel or really be played by the mainstream. It was truly a gem of the 32-bit era. It can really only be appreciated by being played and Saturns are hard to come by and Panzer Dragoon is even harder or will cost you. If you get a Sega Saturn emulator and search for ROMs you may be able to experience this game, but it won’t be easy and isn’t really the same without having a controller in your hand. Probably cursed to be a hardcore gamer’s classic and nothing more, Panzer Dragoon Saga is still a testament to what Sega could have been. Phenomenal!
Verdict: 99%

THis game looks amazing and is amazing to play. I love RPG games that feel different then the rest and this does that. I wish more people bought it when it came out so it was not so much money on ebay. But It is well worth getting.
I had someone try to steal mine luckily they only got my case because my games were in cases somewhere else. If anyone has a empty case to sell me i would love to purchase it
I say buy this game.

) This is undoubtedly the best in the franchise series. In the waning years of the Sega Saturn, this title has shown the very essence of the Saturn's 32-bit capabilities. This enormously diverse and fun flowing video game. I give it 4.5/5 hits. For the impressive graphics for its time, the dramatic score and the free moving walk through that keeps you interested in the progression of this classic RPG adventure.
-N.O.C.O.

PANZER DRAGOON SAGA (Sega, April 1998) Wwooooo! I'm the first to have a Panzer Dragoon Saga review on here........ hopefully I won't be the only one though. "Maybe you heard about this game? Maybe not?" Not only is it the rarest North American Sega Saturn game (there are only a limited 5,000-8,000 copies ever made, so consider yourself lucky if you manage to find it) but it's also the best Sega Saturn game ever made in my opinion. It's Sega's Panzer Dragoon Saga! Panzer Dragoon Saga is the third chapter in the Panzer Dragoon series and unlike the first two shooting games, this game has all...

If there's anything that turns video game systems into living legends, it's always that last "incredible game" that does it. Going out with a flare is something to be honored and admired about video game systems that don't do so well. Soul Calibur wasn't the LAST game for dreamcast, of course, but since it was so incredible, people continue to buy dreamcasts just to get it. Well, the pride and joy of Sega Saturn has gone down in history as Panzer Dragoon Saga, the third chapter in this incredible trilogy! The story of Panzer Dragoon has always been very enchanting. The story began 1000 years..
