What most people dont reailize is, what they say is bad about the game, is what make is good. The combat was the way a MMORPG's always is, chose a monster, let your character fight the monster and you supply the health and skills. The story was what really made the game great. The story wsa so in depth and interesting, I spent hours studieng and figuring it out, and when i did, there was a great feeling of accomplishment that made it all worth while. Yes, the game would have ruled with online play, but as i have recently learned, there is a new .hack game that will be online, so i doesnt matter. The graphics were not the best, but good. The dungeons got repeditive, but only near the end.
Overall this was one of the best games i have ever played, I am not sure why everyone is so down on it.
This review goes to all of the .Hack games
