OF THE MONTH COLLECTION!!
BEST SEGA SATURN GAME!!
95 PANZER
DRAGOON SAGA (Sega, April 1998)
One of the best and most original 3D RPG's
ever made, it's too bad it was released so close to the Saturn's death. There
is some bad looking pop up now and again but the graphics overall are very stylist
with awesome battle scenes. This game uses a 3guage system to perform more attacks
plus you can even fly around you opponent to gain a edge, there is nothing else
like it. Very Recommend!
