online RPG that takes place entirely offline

User Rating: 7.7 | .hack//Infection Part 1 PS2
.hack//Infection has a very odd premise It's an RPG about an Online RPG that takes place entirely offline now did I just blow your mind ok lets continue the story follows a boy named kite that plays this online game with a friend when some crazy stuff happen and kite's friend ends up in a coma. Though the course of the four games you go through the online game and try to find out what put your friend in a coma. The controls of .hack are as simple as you can get, walk up to a monster and press x to attack push triangle to open the skill and spell menu basic the combat is semi realtime you fight in realtime but when you open the skill and spell menu the action pauses. The downside of this game is that it's very short and all it's installments are even shorter. One other bad thing is that it's a dungeon crawler every time you want move the very interesting story along you have to go through a dungeon that looks just like the one you just went through five seconds to go. overall if you put up with the semi fun combat you will get a really great story and experience
