“This Game, Is Pretty Good, I Mean, The Way it Simulates An MMORPG Is Really Almost To A "T", The Only Down Side, Is That It Partially Destroys The MMORPG Feeling With All The Overly Dramatic Events, But Them Their Selves, Just Add To How Good This Game Is. It's A Real-Time Hack-And-Slash Game, It Takes A Certain Level of Skill, But You Can Basically Choose The Difficulty, By Choosing What Level Your Going To Be At. But The Story, I EPIC, Like On A Major Scale, Just A Little Over Dramatic. Replay Value is Not That High But Once Your Through The First Time, That'll Make You Love The Game, That You'd Want To Play It Again To See If There's Anything You Missed. Which there Is. Lots :D

The End To It All, Hope Not, If They Make A New Series I'd Be The First To Pre-Order It :D EPIC ENDING!
Spoiler Hint : Futari No Kiwami!!!

“So I've owned this game a long time...but only recently did come up with my review

Basically, playing as the Adept Rogue Haseo gave me some satisfaction but still let me down.

.hack// has been wonderful gameplay all around, graphic have always been beautiful and only gotten better, and story rocks.

However, it limits your options, in the first four titles, you play as Kite, a Twin Blade, and in GU you play as Haseo, a man toting dual daggers, a flameberge, a scythe, and then later Dual Guns.

Sadly...I'd like to play as a Long Arm in Kite's games and a Tribal Grappler in Haseo's, but the game doesn't let me...
Thus minus 1 star

However...Gameplay Rocks, Haseo can use any of his obtained weapons, and Kite before him could purposefully weaken enemies...
Then the party system really picks it up when you add different classes...

Whats even more fun is the status ailments are deep yet understandable...resulting in a full-tie simulated MMO that plays beautifully

My main beef with GU is PKs, or as I like to say, MUDERERs are all too common, in fact over half of GU, 1 2. and 3 is played in a PK Arena, where over half the fights are very dark and murderously toned.
Again minus one star for support of mass murdering with impunity...

However battling the monsters could be classified as such murdering but, I feel killing monsters is different than killing a Human, after all, those monsters attack you first, so you defend yourself, whereas PKing you assault the nearest player, without asking...

The monster fights are immensely fun...various monsters have abilities that either render tem unlaunchable, physically immune but mystically damageable, and even more than those...

Still I feel it could be more fun if they'd allow you to pick your class...

However: the simulated MMO side of the game makes a reasonable excuse, so while am dissatisfied, I am not too unhappy,

.hack// GU Vol3 gets a 3 of 5...a good game, worth the money paid to buy it, but lacks customization capabilities.”
