Editorial Review: Editorial Review: The first question we couldn't help asking ourselves after a few minutes of playing Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram was 'Why?' More specifically, we asked why Activision would go to all the trouble of converting this game perfectly from its arcade counterpart only to stiff gamers by not letting them program the controller? Oratorio Tangram is all about perfect control--the arcade version uses a pair of sticks that allow for all types of moves--and this Dreamcast version contains only a handful of preset controller configurations. None of them work well, and it really hurts the gameplay. Control issues aside, this is one of the most visually stunning Dreamcast titles available. The graphics are simply eye-popping, and the loud sound effects are perfectly appropriate for a giant-robot game like Oratorio Tangram. If you've ever wanted a title to show off your Dreamcast to friends, this game will do the job nicely, and it doesn't hurt that the two-player mode is more fun than the single-player game since both players suffer from the same controller limitations. With just one little addition (programmable controls), this game would have been near perfect. As it stands, the game is good-looking, but doesn't have it where it counts. --T. Byrl Baker Pros:

 Rating:  - A Great ClassicI remember playing the first one on Sega Saturn but this one is even better. The battles are high speed and awesome! Rating: - The most fun 3D fighter on the DreamcastVirtual On rocks!! The controls take some getting used to and the Dreamcast holds up pretty well to this end. The graphics are AWESOME, the action is FAST and the game is TIGHT! If you have finished beating Soul Calibur for the millionth time and you're ready for a real 3D challenge then pick this up. This game is a gem from the far east, don't let it slip by. Did I mention that the animation is silky smooth, the graphics are some of best that the Dreamcast can produce and action is fast ... Read More Rating:  - like a virtual on flashbackThis game is similiar to the first one on the saturn. The graphics have been beefed up a little, and there are more virtual ons to pilot. The only thing that ruins this game is that the control schemes are horribly and there is no way to set your own buttons. This makes some of the move almost impossible to pull off. Other then that, It is a solid game and a good addition to any dreamcast gamers collection. Rating: - like a virtual on flashbackThis game is similiar to the first one on the saturn.
