The same world, the same way you remember it!
-Continues the story of volume 1(.hack//INFECTION) and adds a lot to it.
-Great graphics and soundtrack
-Some new minor additions
-Lots of sidequests
-Ability to transfer saved data
Cons:
-Battle system hasn't changed as still gets repetitve after a while...
-Dungeons start to get longer and more repetitve towards the end...
-Story portion is still short
-MUST lay volume 1 to understand this volume...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Welcome back"
.hack//MUTATION continues right where INFECTION left off...so if you haven't played volume 1 yet, suggest you do before playing this.
Story:
The story (like I said above) continues right after volume 1...so if you haven't played the first one, you'll be left confused...But if you have played the first volume, the this volume adds a lot to the story, making it even more interesting and deep...\
Gameplay:
The gameplay hasn't changed much from the first volume...It's actually the same...But they did add some new features such as "Grunty Racing."
Music:
The soundtrack (like the first) is great, not many new tracks though, but still great...
Graphics:
Still good...barely changed from the first...no new dungeons designs though, and they ARE still a bit repetitive...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERALL:
Story: 9/10
Gameplay: 7/10
Music: 8/10
Graphics: 8/10
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Words:
If you haven't played the first, then rent it (or buy it) before you play this...
