DESCRIPTION
First in a four-part series, .hack//INFECTION is set in a near future when society has come to rely heavily on advanced network technology. Recently, a ban against online gaming has been lifted and millions upon millions of people have flocked to a new virtual reality known as "The World." Two teenage boys are among the participants, taking the roles of Kite and Orca in The World. When they are attacked and Orca's player falls comatose in the real world, Kite must continue in the virtual reality of the game on a quest to save his friend.
While the story element of "will to power" in an artificial reality may share basic concepts with 1999's The Matrix, many of the presentational aspects of .hack are created with the sense of an epic anime film. The plotline is crucial to gameplay and an included DVD features original animation that may reveal important secrets to observant viewers. Characters in the game were designed by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Evangelion). The story was written by Kazunori Ito (Ghost in the Shell). ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“A fun delving into the realm of a simulated MMORPG. This continues where .hack//Sign leaves off and is the first installment in the PS2 .hack franchise. Many hours of fun and a mystery to solve makes this a great first game in a strong series.”

“The Start Of It's Epic Series, Dot Hack Infection. This Game Was One of My " Try A New Game " Tests, Thank God I Picked This One, This Game, I Played For Hours On End, Like, More Then I Normally Play Games, Played 24 Hours Straight Trying To Beat It. The Simulated MMORPG In This Game, It's Got It Down, You Can Trade Other People Roaming Around In Town, Warp Places With Keywords To Enter Areas Kill Monsters Or Go Farther Into The Game, The Story Is Epic, Sorta of Starts off Pretty Dull, Seems Like It's Going To Be A Boring Game, Then It Gets Real Good And You'll Want To Keep Finding Out More And More. But There's A Limit... As This Is Only Part One Of Technically An 7 Part Series. If Your Going To Play This Game, Try Getting The First 4 Volumes , Cause Once You Finish each Part, You'll Be Begging For More.
5/5 - Raujien”
