I just got this game but its pretty sweet and the ppl need ta know!
Gameplay is superb and innovative. Its pretty much playing a game thats playing a game. You play as Kite, a kid who's intertwined in a larger plot than he understands. To save the world he must be in the "The World" a company game that is like a virtual universe. You log in and warp to different areas. Tackling dungeons and chatting it up with other online players in the game. You can trade with other users items, weapons, and magic. Dot Hack/Infection is a true RPG.
Since dot hackcame out around the beginning of the PS2, don't expect super crisp graphics but they are enjoyable enough.
The sound quality is that of an orchestrated and enjoyable RPG. It'll gather your interest as you play.
Point is...this game is highly overlooked and superb. Part 1 also includes a special DVD with an animated movie of dot hack...entirely enjoyable. So if your a big RPG fan, you won't be failed in this excellent title.
