I never played the original Panzer Dragoon but had always heard about it as a kid, as it had built its reputation as being the most famous rail-shooter out there. What I didn't realize is that in buying this game off a steam sale a few months ago that it was only an hour long, wouldn't play windowed/fullscreen correctly (fullscreen somehow took up two of my monitors,) would attempt to give me carpal tunnel, and did not apply sound settings during cutscenes. It was alright, I felt like I was playing something that was at point famous for a reason but other than that, there wasn't much that Panzer Dragoon's remake really offered. Was this game really that good when it came out for the Saturn? Was it that much for its time? I can't answer these questions because I completely missed out on playing this beforehand, thus I cannot recommend the remake. Technical funk aside, I didn't really find it a worthwhile use of even an hour, but I guess is worth the few dollars I bought it for.

I got this on the last psn sale because it was so cheap and I heard it was so short. Funnily theres an achievement/trophy for playing it for 100 hours? can you imagine trying to beat this game like 100 times lol

Yeah I saw I had like 70% achievement rate after beating it and I went to go see the others and saw that one like... hmmmmm. I think my hands would literally disintegrate LOL. It's legit maybe an hour... and that's after having to re-run one level, and it doesn't seem like there's much more after beating it really.
