DESCRIPTION
Billed by Sega as a true successor to the groundbreaking Phantasy Star Online, Phantasy Star Ø transports gamers to an alternate Earth approximately 200 years after a massive war decimated the planet. The survivors managed to pick up the tattered pieces of once great civilizations and build thriving, albeit isolated, cities. And while the apocalyptic nature of the "Great Blank" led to a more peaceful society, a select group of adventurous citizens choose to explore the expansive wilderness areas in order to hunt monsters that threaten the safety of city life. Gamers take on the role of one of these explorers, choosing from the blade-wielding Hunter race, the gun-toting Ranger race, or the spell-casting Forces, and then selecting from 14 different class variations.
Players can also create unique robot "Mags" to provide stat boosts, heal injuries, or serve as an extra attacker, and feeding each Mag surplus items helps them level up in four key areas. There are more than 350 unique weapons available, and combat is handled in a three-beat system, whereby gamers can unleash as many as three normal or heavy attacks consecutively. Phantasy Star Ø includes three online modes: "Free" mode, in which players join a randomly assigned party; "Friend" mode, where two friends can set up a private adventure; and "Single" mode, in which solo gamers partake in online combat to increase their stats. A new "Visual Chat" option lets gamers use the stylus to create and store 20 different visual or written shortcuts in order to more quickly communicate with fellow players during online action. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

“I've been enjoying Phantasy Star Zero for the DS a lot lately. It shares some elements with Monster Hunter that I find really appealing, like weapon crafting/collecting and vastly different combat...”

“A great game if you love nice combat animation that varies for a bunch of weapon classes, collecting weapons/armor, stat building, level grinding, fighting monsters and machines and bosses, exploring random-number-generated maps (you can't memorize the route because it's different every time), and picto-chat over online multiplayer. :3”

“Still cannot beat that Octopus boss to save my life (or those of my easily killable comrades. Perhaps I should tell them to use their Photon Bursts separately as soon as that battle kicks up.”

“PS0,the first Phantsay star on the DS, gives the hardcore PS players lots of weapons and equipment that they can find and trade with friends, and also gives new PS players a fun hack and slash RPG with up to 4 people online. The games story mode is "ok" at best but the draw on the game for most people is the online. You DO need to play story mode to unlock other areas to play online. You can not just play online and unlock all the places. The game also has a level cap of 100 witch is the lowest level cap for any online PS game. All other PS games have a level cap of 200. The lower level cap does make the game a lot easier compared to any other PS games, but I'm sure this is because the game is on the DS and is targeted to much younger player who have never played a PS game before. Overall the game is very good and in my opinion has the best online play of any DS game I've seen or played. So if you and a few friends like RPG's and have DS's then pick this bad boy up. If you want to play online by yourself then be ready for player WAAY higher then you to join up with you, and don't go on thinking that everyone is going to revive you if you die. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.”
