The heavy wing has powerful laser blasts but slow movement and the base wing is a mix of the two. The glide wing is a light dragon with weak weapons but lots of speed. And if that weren't enough options, the game lets you morph your dragon at will into one of three types of mounts. You also have the ability to ram objects with the dragon or launch a special berserk attack. You can use Orta's basic gun by tapping the button or a homing laser by holding a button in, painting a couple of targets and letting go. You'll spend half your time focusing on shooting stuff and the other half figuring out how best to shoot it. Put on top of that the fact that you have to duck and weave through the scenery and dodge projectiles and you've got a wonderfully complex game.
It also allows you to control where you are looking, in a 360-degree circle. The game plays from a third-person perspective, allowing you to control your dragon's banking movements and speed. But Orta's return to the sub-genre is a good thing, because of Sega's approach. This genre disappeared with the advent of the fully controllable first-person shooter. Instead you sit atop a car, train, rail, or, in this case, a dragon, and shoot at stuff like you're in a shooting gallery.
Basically it means you have no real control of what direction you are heading. Panzer Dragoon Orta is a third-person rail-shooter, and more than likely, most gamers won't have heard of this short-lived sub-genre.
