While I enjoyed Rebirth's storytelling, it still is highly repetitive some cutscenes seem highly useless....
/Story/9-10
The storytelling is great, but there are too many different stories and ways to steer me off track. So first, you spawn in a game called "The World" and some players decide to help you. When you get to the temple and get your gift, they "PK" you (Player Killers.) A guy named Ovan revives you and then it goes ahead 8 months later. Haseo is now the PKK Terror of Death. You kill a group of PKs, and then he decide to check out some church and solve some lady's death by killing Tri-Edge, her killer. He dies, sorta. He gets "Data Drained" which puts him back at level 1. So with the help of a group of nerds, you go to kill Tri-Edge.
/Gameplay/7-10
The gameplay is fun at first, but gets repetitive after awhile. But the customization of the game is fun. After getting some random materials like fire mouse skin, I suddenly had fire power on my blades. Then I'm ready to fight! I fight against the most boring enemies ever. Then it gets cheap when enemies summon yet ANOTHER enemy. Then I get to a cutscene, useless, talking about arenas. Then I learn about Epitaph Users who use Avatars. Then AIDA, an inky enemy that is well, pretty useless.
/Graphics/9.7-10
When characters aren't Keanu Reeves fans, they have some of the best facial animations around. Graphics are amazing. When I was in a field, I saw some Crest Gun, or a god shooter. Nothing went out of order, backgrounds on the PC were cool. Then You would see the animal users, which scared me, I was like "Beast Race?"
So all in all, if your looking for good graphics on the PS2, this is it.
/Overall/8-10
So putting aside the fact that enemies and some cutscenes are useless, I found that Rebirth was the first in one of the best hack. game in the series. When I saw the graphics, I was like "oh my god, this is cool."
So I highly recommend this game if you own a PS2.
