A Solid New Concept...

...is what I would have called .hack//INFECTION upon its first being released. 6 games, and countless anime episodes and manga books later, I would still stick with my original decision.

In this game the player assumes the role of Kite, a newbie character in the fictional MMORPG (Short for Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) "The World" set in the "distant" year of 2010. Upon first logging in, Kite is invited by his real life friend, and fellow player of "The World" (known as Orca) to an area to level Kite's character up. I'm not going to ruin too much, but Kite and Orca quickly finds himself face to face with a monster no one has ever seen before.

The monster puts Orca in a coma, and Kite soon meets a mysterious girl named Aura that presents the newbie with a "Braclet" that infuses Kite with unimaginable powers beyond those of any character in "The World".

This game is filled with bold characters, countless areas (Literally there are 1000's of random areas one could invent.) and a unique storyline packed with twists and supprises along the way. Although the story can be a bit dull at times, and the dungeons can get quite tedious, the game is truly a masterpiece, and is worth the time of any gamer with a thirst for adventure.

(It is also my reccomendation that one should play this before diving into the .hack//G.U. series.)

I think the gane is very good but its going to be hard to levelup.Plus you get a dvd as a bonus when the game/it's about a girl who played a game called the world and she must find out how she got out of a coma but her friend didn't get through the coma.

The start of a great game series.

I will not spoil anything and will make this review short: The .hack games are great. You'll love it. After you've played this, play the others, because they rock as well.

Great start to a good story.

It's a really good idea to try the anime's as well as the books, because they all have a intersecting story. This game takes a bit to grow on ya but the story draws you in and keeps you wanting to know more. Your characters can carry over into the next volume too when you finish with this one.

Tiny bit repetitive, but overall excellent

This game is really well done, except for the repetive parts. I know that it is just the part that sets up the upcoming games, but it is a bit short. The graphics are excellent, one of the better ones I have played. I would recommend this game for any person who is familiar with the Manga/ other parts of .Hack, because this game sort of jumps directly into the plot, and it can be confusing it you have no history with .hack.

Graphics: 5
Plot/ Gameplay: 4
Difficulty:4
Funness: 4
Overall: 4.5

When you purchase this, you might as well buy all four parts becuse you can transfer your save game to the next part. Also, the plot gets better from part to part.

Waste of Money

Now don't get me wrong, I love dotHack. I'm one of those kids who sits around in the bookstore reading the manga. So I thought even if the game wasn't so good, I could deal with it. Right? Uh. No.
I forced myself to play for about two hours. The graphics were insanely bad, the voice acting made me squirm, and the dungeons were just horrible. There were a couple of intriguing concepts in it, which could've been awesome if handled right - as it is, I think they ultimately take away from the game. For instance, the idea of picking words to shape a custom dungeon was really cool, but maybe if they hadn't done that they would've been able to spend more time on actually making the dungeons interesting and playable. Also, being a total Warcrack addict, I liked the idea of a simulated MMORPG, but after a while reading the stuff on the forums to get new words and hints and stuff just gets tedious.

A totally unique RPG experience

This game does things in an action RPG that have never been done before, while maintaining the core. The character development is great, the soundtrack is great, the value is unprecedented because of the inclusion of a DVD movie. You should absolutely add this game to your collection.

Great story! Decent gameplay

The story and way they portay the elements of the atmosphere and a made-up MMORPG world are very nice. It's very easy to get hooked on the story and concept with all the mysteries in place, and very colorful characters

Gameplay-wise it's ok. Alot of it is repetitive, and the game overall is VERY short, giving you about 8-9 hours tops. It's really like they made one whole game and split it over 4 parts. Shame on them!

Overall it is nice, but really only if you love a good, interesting story

These people posting good reviews...are just hardcore fans of the series.

The game is REALLY pathetic, honestly be lucky I am giving a 2 and not a 1 ( cause i luv the series too ). Now lets start with the Story:
Story based this game is solid, real good story/Plot all the way through 9/10... You are a kid stuck in a game with a special hacking ability. You are trying to save the digital world from wondering AIs with the help of other people who are in the game too...Like I said strong Plot.

Game wise....this is where it simply FAILS and I mean Fail with a Capital P-hail. I read a few reviews where some try to make excuses and blaming the companies 'reputatioin' on the reviews it has gotten...COULD NOT BE MORE WRONG. Ok lets see, would you find a game where just about EVERY SINGLE Dungeon is exactly the same....yes exactly the same except for the fact that almost each dungeon has a diffrent color scheme. You walk into one room and 5 seconds later ( a few feet later ) Onto another room and so on. Now besides the crappy dungeons theres also the monsters, the monsters just stand around and hit you, no moving around or anything ( mind you this game is not Stand around one at a time hitting game like FFs ). Now the GAMEPLAY..wow just walking towards a monster and swinging your blade ( Stop and punch like attacks with no Varietiess to them ) and when you want to use a skill...ready for this? You have to PAUSE THE GAME to use it. For example, You find a wood type monster so you press pause choose a fire type skill and use it! ( take up to an hour to figure out what attack you want..talk about Player timing and skills! and did I forget to mention that you can change weapons inbetween games, yep you dont have a weapon that is strong against the type you want just pause the game and switch weapons ( hold like 10 weapons at a time =\)...wow again with player skills. Who wouldnt think the game is challenging and fun this way!!...Seriously its pathetic. I expected it to be atleast alittle like the game Kingdom Hearts, but I was sadly dissapointed.
I have tried 2 of the games of this series and ALL OF THEM are almost identical to this gameplay -stop-pause-hit, repeat stop-pause-hit and so on. So if you are a hardcore .hack fan, get these games, if not dont even bother at all. -_-'
