Wow. I was thuroughly disappointed with this game. I feel lucky I am going to sell it to a friend for a fraction of what i paid for this.
The story is spotty, the graphics are soooo 4 years ago (hehe), the gameplay is boring and repetitive and the game is so short that an introductory price to this INSTALLMENT of the whole game should be around $20. If you paid full price, for this game, and the rest in the series, I hope you have a fat bank account.
With the lackluster graphics being so cheap looking, found and won items being uninteresting or not useful until you buy another game in the series, I have to say I want to WARN everyone that you do not get what you paid for.
If you are one of those who are happy with this game: good. I'm not... so off to Target to buy Final Fantasy Unlimited Saga. Final Fantasy series, not that's a REAL game.
Blah!
ONLY THE BEST GAME EVER!

the game is very fun once you get into it
but once i found out that it's 8-20 hour game
There's alot of sidequest in the game though and if you beat the game you can keep powering up so you can stand a chance in mutation
hint. before the second town get something that gives Kite acurracy and strenth for a goblin trust me
One of the best games of 2003

I'd like to start by saying I've beat this game and had a lot of fun with it. Even though I paid about forty dollars for it and know that the next installment cost about fifty dollars, I'd still be willing to pay that for it because the game is just that good. Some people say that this game is short which was true for me,(about a week) it was only thirty hours. However, the reason it only took a week is because it never came out of my ps2. I played it nonstop the first five hours I got it(only stopping to eat) and then woke up at six the next morning when I usually get around ten just to play it.
Sorry I've gone on soo much about myself and how I have no life. The gameplay of this game is nothing new but it has the best execution so far. It is like Dark Cloud but without the limitations and water system. My favorite part of the battle system is the allies. You basically tell them what to do and they get around to it eventually. For instance, -First Aid!- is a command that tells the AI to heal, cure, and revive who ever needs it. Also, you get all the treasure found in quests that you can use,(if it fits your class-Twinblade-)give as a gift(to make allies have stronger abilities/stats) or sell for cash. If you watch .hack//sign the type of character you are is like sora, where you have 2 approx. 2ft. long blades. There's also a Data Drain move where you make a monster weaker or in some cases back to a normal monster and you gain different types of items, but your INFECTION goes up when you use it(which can be deadly to you if you overuse it) hence the name .hack//infection.
As for the story of the game, beeing as how it is part 1 of 4 this game serves as an introduction to the series. If you have ever played Final Fantasy 7,8, or 9 (3-4 disk long games) it is kinda like buying the disc separate. I think the reason they did this is because they wanted the player to have what seems like a longer story and have sort of "I wonder what'll happen to Orca" feeling. Like in cartoons or citcoms you have a years worth of entertainment while a movie gives you one quick hit of entertainment.
Lastly, the 45 minute DVD that comes along with it is also entertaining. It is an introduction to the .hack//Limitality four part series. What I like about the .hack craze is how you have the Sign, Limitality, and Infection(includind the other 3 parts) and they all are taking place around the same time. And if you listen closely(and know all that is happening in the series) you'll hear people talking about someone talking about something that happened in Limitality that occurred in Sign type of deal. So it doesn't have that feel of, why do I have to save everyone isn't someone else going to help themselves.
The main point I'm trying to make in this article is buy this game. The only way you may not like it is if your the type that only likes sports and racing, in which case you probably wouldn't still be reading if your like that. So for those of you still reading either go rent or buy this ASAP.
Own it, love it, you gotta buy it!

I bought this game just recently, and I love it! I am not yet finished with the game, in fact I am not even sure how far I am ( I don't think I'm that far). HOWEVER the game rocks! Some of the enemies can be tough, but you get through it...beware of some of the bosses because sometimes it is hard to make them "break". Overall the game is pretty solid, trippy at times...always making me want to get further into the plot. BUY IT!
The is cool

This is the best game I've ever played! It has a couple of charecters that I know of (Kite,Orca,Black Rose,Mia,Elk,Natsume) It is fun to play the game and watch it unfold in front of your eyes. I haven't finished the game but I like it so far. Overall I suggest the game to all videogamers.
It was awesome!

It was a great game I mean I didn't know a whole lot about .hack//SIGN but watching the dvd and some on tv and playing the game helped me learn alot.My cousin who is the worst video game player in the world thought it would be too hard but he got pretty far.It is hard enough to challenge skilled players but not hard enough to where you get frustrated.
I found it really cool to see these characters and awesome worlds.I had fun playing through the adventure and naming my character.It doesn't have a technical playing system it was mainly x and square.
I didn't have trouble playing the game or understanding the plot I found it really fun.It was exciting and interesting and I would recommend it for any player it was very neat!
