User Rating: 9 | Phantasy Star Universe X360
You play as ethan waber, brash, obnoxouis young male who just los this father in the battle of the seed, as you proceed to linear line for a festival you encounter a dog lookalike character who is one of the vooh brothers, and pretty soon they end up fighting because one of the brothers stole ethan's sister's (lumina)meseta card, soon the entire guardians colony is ambushed by a bunch of mean mutated farm animals if you liek called the SEED, soon you find yourselve going to various diffrent planets, purchasing new weapons and armour on the way, There are 3 classes-hunter-ranger-force- hunter can use all of the striking weapons at first hand, ranger as we all know get to use some swords as well as guns, and force we all know uses technics eitherwise known as spells. The bosses are actually quite simplistic but have some difficulty amoung them, during you missions you havbe many swarms of enimes set in gropus of 2,3 and 5 which are all very dangerous if not careful, upon the death of the monster as long as you hit them you get exp (experience points), which add up to your total level, the combat system, is basic and effective, it sets out as a hack and slach shoot em up with magic combt, for stiking wepaons it goes back to the classic gameplay, which is 3 attack combinations, as well as having special PA (photon arts) attack which can be levelled up to use less pp (powerpoints) and to become more powerfull and have a second combination, rager guns are very simple their combat includes, staying at a distance from an enemy and shooting them with either a grenade laucher, a laser cannon, rifle or shotgun, which proves quite effective if you aren't confedint of getting close to the enemies as they are, quite strong alone but very vicious in groups which often you and or your party will die quite easyly, upon death, its not a complete bad thing you have a choice wether or not to go out of the missiona dn go back in it to try again or stay in the feild and wait to one of your party heals you, the downside is that it loses your S A or B ranks which effect your overall mission points and meseta rewards, and also you have to pay 5000 meseta to purchase a scape doll to revive yourself upon death without losing your rank, your mission points are added up to your calls experience for example: hunter-70 mission points gained-level up to level 2.
which makes your calsses hp (healthpoints)increase as well as your classes special bounes I.G. atp or ata _attack pwer and attack accuracy).
overall phantasy star universe is a great littel game which will last you 40 hours to complete, its a must have for casual gamers and rpg fans, but the combat system is very repetitive and gets annoying at times! You get acheivements for every major boss you face, but thats all there is to it, it doesn't suck you in, it gets boring quite fast, but if you can get addicted to it, it's good fun.
