i see these reviews that say this game is only like about 16 hours which it is if u play straight through but its part of a 4 part series. this game is so original its a game within a game. u play as kite a character in a huge online game set in the future called the world. the game is so much fun u can trade with other people in the game but its not a multiplayer game its single so its like a game within a game. the concept is prob the most original ive heard. the only rpg that compares to this is ff7. buy this game if u want an out of the ordinary, super original, fun, and super addictive alot more than everquest game.

Why did I waste my time playing this?

I enjoy long role playing games, like the 70+ hour type. That's why I was intrigued when I heard the mention of the new 4 part .hack series. It had an interesting premise in that it recreates an online world through offline play.

Unfortunately, the game is just pure tedium, and getting to the end really feels like a chore. All the game is just one endless dungeone crawl between each randomally generated dungeon to the next. Your clues are spelled out in the 'email' snippets you get.

Hardly too exciting. You'll easily forget the reason you're playing by the 5th hour or so. Especially since so little of the story is spelled out in the 1st game. Why would it be when they want you to buy the next 3 at $50 a pop?

Most weapon acquisition (which is done through a frustratingly limited inventory system) is done through the 'fun' act of trading. And the weapons and armor are so poorly balanced you feel the need to hold on to each piece, as one piece holds no clear advantages over the other.

I really can't imagine why anyone after getting to the end of the first game, having played through 20+ hours of the same random duneons, and battled against the same variety of enemies (who are only differented by name and color) would really want to invest in the whole 'series'.

When I first saw this game on the shelves I thought, "Oh just another hacker simulation like ones I've seen for the computer DOS platform serveral years back only with an anime cross-over." However, when a friend of mine showed me the game, I was more than awed at the wonderful graphics and deep and intense story line. It actually made me go out and buy the Playstation and the game I was that impressed. I recommend this game to all hardcore and newbe RPG players alike. Now if only they would make a spin off game for PC and call it "The World"... of course without the coma part. ^^;;

This is the best Game in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so im going to tell you guys some secert's. If you go into a room were you break open stuff, you can always get back in and redo it. The best way to level up is to fight every monster portol you can find. you might have to searh a while to find all of them but it is so morth it. Do not die because you will lose all your levels which you don't want to do. After you leave an area if you are low hp and low mp you will get them back when you go to the the server.

Repetitive, Hack and Slash Gameplay

There are only a few things that bring this game above the level of a single star. First, it is tightly integrated with the Anime/Manga series, and the cutscenes and storyline meshes well with them. Second, it does a great job of making a single person game feel like a multiplayer online world - the quotes from other characters as they run past make you feel just like you're part of a game filled with real live newbies.

Unfortunately, the game play doesn't live up to the possibilities. Players of AD&D 1st edition may remember a random dungeon creator, which you could use if you were just too lazy to come up with creative worlds. This game is slightly less creative than that, as it omits any special dungeon dressings which would at least make the dungeons feel different. Instead, you spend hours going through the same types of randomly generated areas and having the same kinds of fights, again and again.

I gave up on the game before finishing it. I think this is the only game I've ever done that with - I felt, though, as if I'd already played it out. I'm sure there were nice ending cutscenes and a few other plot twists ahead, but since there are already three sequels, I doubt I missed anything earth-shattering. Even if I did, I don't think I could sit through several more hours of hacking and slashing through cardboard dungeons.

very good!!

i just got this game a week ago and I love it! Now I've played FF 9 on PS once and liked it, then I got a PS2 and I hurred and got Kindom Hearts, which was like a superb thing of a miracle, then I played Everquest for the PC, and I thought it was another "holy grail". This game is like all of those. It has the "move around" battle system of KH, certain RPG features of FF9, and an Online SIMULATOR like Everquest. A must have for any PS2 game collector!!! :p!!! Plus know, it's only $! Not to shabby!
