Could have been so much more - were Sega stuck in a vacuum for 4 years while developing this ?

What is it with Sega ? Why are they so bad at inovating ? Instead of coming up with new and oringal ideas we get Sonic Mega Collection 4587 and a collection of old Sega megadrive games.

So welcome to PSU - otherwise known as PSO 1.5 (or perhaps 1.3).
It's not a bad game but the word dated is written through it like a stick of rock.

The graphics, sound and gameplay give the impression they were imported from an old Dreamcast game.

And on top of it all you have to pay £6.99 to play online.

PSO was one of my favourite all time games. But I just can't find the energy to play essentially the same game all over again...and pay for it.

Avoid !
