Great game. I played from start to finish and eagerly await part 2.
I got this game after months of considuration. I decided to watch the anime first. (.Hack//roots)
And after knew I had to finsh the story. Its short.. But its part 1 of a 3 part game so yeah..
You play as Haso the terror of death in his continued search of Tri-edge in the game the World an MMO. Tri-edge is a PK (player Killer) who puts its victems into a coma in the real world. As the story unfolds you meet many characters who will join you. With these characters you have to train to continue the game. You will find that this game is more focused on fighting and training. As the core of the game revolves around the arena where players battle one another for sport. The battles are action based and quite fun.. And really never get old. You will want to get further and further in the story every time you play. Its quite adictive. A key part of this game is character interaction. You have to email your party and interact to boost their relationship with you. Or decrease.. I happened to decrease two members to hating me.. Piros the third for one.. Visuals are great and sharp. Sound and voice acting is rather good. And when the game ends you will wait for the secound. How ever at the end there is still much to do. Train to the max level of Vol.1 to be ready for vol.2 there are quests.. And items and much to explore. All and all this by far a favorite game of mine on the ps2 now.
