A great expansion, but not yet perfect!

The Version 2 of Phantasy Star Online is a great addition to an already great game, with the addition of Tons of new items, a Ultimate Mode (which is REALLY hard) a Battle mode (fight your friends online!) and a Challenge mode (limited time to kill the boss!), version 2 is sure to keep the gamers busy for quite a time... Although the expansion is good, some things have been left much the same, including the limited numbers of items you can have, the online quests and the monsters. Furthermore, the disc seems to have slightly longer loading times...still a great buy though and a must for PSO players!

That's right to play this game online you have to pay! My friends and I being hardcore Sega fans are very disappointed. You already have to pay 40 bucks for the game. In this version there is only new items and new levels no new characters. I would recommend purchasing the first one it is very good and you dont have to pay to play online. I also recommend Sonic Adventure 2 it is way fun the best sonic game ever.

THIS IS THE BEST GAME!!

This game is great! Sure you have to pay to play but it's only [price] every 3 months. It is one of the best games that ever hit the Dreamcast. It is an RPG but better. The best part is you go on to the internet get a team together and play through the game as a team. It even has multiplayier and a soccer game in the lobby. I'm forming a group as soon as I get the english version.

Let me say this in the first one you could get tons of items, weapons,armor and anything you could imagine. Well....In v.2 its everything times two ! Tons of upgrades, new items and tons more ! Some slight drawbacks though. No new characters, that stinks, no big deal though. And some of the same blah ( Did I sound arrogant, eek !) enimies. But there are new ones like Barbie a giant Rhino morph. Also you have to pay to play, luckily its not that expensive, its 15 dollars for every three months u play. I played the Japanese version and it ruled, but I wonder what the Americans got up there sleeve...?

Supposed to be excellent.

I first of all just want to see that this game is the first one with more stuff, so of course that's good news. I haven't played it, but I suspect it will be great.

THIS GAME ROCKS!

IF THE FIRST ONE WAS AWESOME, THEN VERSION 2 HAS TO BE TWICE AS AWESOME AS THE FIRST. BESIDES, BATTLING OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE TO PROVE YOUR BETTER THAN THEM, WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?!

Gotta' Be Great!

I have to say the first game rocked! It was the holy grail of all video games. Know back to PSOver.2. The game is RPG like with a little shoot em' up in it. It has over 200 weps!(some incredibly rare to find and will take hours of play to find). The game is pretty complex with all the char. statistics but incredibly fun! The new version will have 2 more levels to play (Both can only be played in Battle Mode), all monsters look different, new dawn to dusk background effect, tons of new items like the Ancient Sword, Hildebear Cane, Plaintiff Leaf and tons more, new mags including old SEGA consoles and old SEGA chars. as the mags themselves!, new Ultra Hard Mode, Battle Mode so you can fight with other people insted og monsters and a new lobby soccer game which you could play for fun or when your just waiting for your friend. You start the game with a choice of 3 categories of character to choose from, Hunter's (Excell in close range combat), Force's (Amazing with Magic) and Ranger's (Great with guns). Tough choice, each has their strength's and weakness's. You decide. Then you start playing in huge, magnificent, 3D Worlds, defeating enemies while picking up any good items you find and leveling up your character so he becomes stronger and has a better chance against the game. There is a small bad thing about this new version. For where it was free to play online in ver.1, in ver.2 you have to pay to play..... From what you just heard, this game is very very addictive. You'll have hours of fun leveling up your own made char. to try to reach to lvl 200!(almost impossisible) Offline or Online. Battling Monsters to gain Exp. and skill, trying to collect all the best weapons and mostlly, annoy the people you live with to the brink of Insanity! Later!

Nothing against PSO actually

PSO is a great game, my friend brought it over and it's incredibly customizable and fun to play, if you want a game to brainwash you into playing more and more and more, this is your game. However i'd advise against the version 2 very very strongly, you have to give Seganet your credit card number to play this and it costs like 24 bucks a month or something for a few extra levels. However PSO is a very very good game and you can head out today and buy PSO and a keyboard for 45 bucks and never pay a cent. It's kind of a no brainer unless you live, eat, sleep, bleed, sweat, etc... PSO.

Dont let that stop you.

The dreaded Credit Card fee is not that bad. You only pay 15bucks every 3 months. A VERY GOOD DEAL! and your getting much more then a few levels.

Besides... it helps cut down on the riff-raff that rune the game.
