Edge Online has posted a short review (http://www.edge-online.com/features/review-virtual-on-oratorio-tangram) of Sega's new Dreamcast to Xbox Live Marketplace port, Virtual On Oratorio Tangram.

It’s clear that Sega intends this version to be the definitive console port of the game, from the fully customisable button configurations to system link play, online play and the ability to upload and download replays of top matches. There are rumours of a forthcoming peripheral, similar to the one the Saturn and Dreamcast ports received. However, until then the game will be spoiled for those who are interested in high level play. Meanwhile, for beginners and intermediate level players, Oratorio Tangram presents an unmatched experience, a bright and energetic burst of fantasy combat, still quite unlike anything else in videogames.

I guess I missed the boat with this game, but every time I ever played it I found myself bored, and this was playing it in the arcade. Which apparently is THE way to play it. Is this really that anticipated?

I would buy a peripheral if they made one, just for this game.

I spent so many countless hours playing this on my Dreamcast with my Twinsticks and the same could be said for the Saturn version before it. I just played this a little while, after customizing the controls I'm very happy with it. Love it actually and it is easily the best version I've played with a controller. Also the graphics aren't too shabby either.

Buy this if you like fun.

I felt the same way, I always felt it just wasn't clicking for me. Seemed like a cool game, but I just couldn't find the fun.

I loved this game in the arcade, but when it came out for Dreamcast, I couldn't play it for more than a couple of hours. It really benefited from the arcade controls.

I just bought this game for the Dreamcast at a Goodwill for 4 bucks - wish I had twin sticks.
