.Hack//Mutation is the same game as its predecessor, with a new name, and cut scenes, although it can be enjoyable.
.Hack//Mutation is the follow up to .Hack//Infection for the ps2, and its the exact same game as its predecessor, down to the letter.
You still play as Kite, a character in the online game "The World", who is trying to figure out why his friend Orca has been put into a coma from playing the game. The story progresses a little in this game, and remains the highlight of it.
Game play remains the same as the previous game, no updates whatsoever, not even any new dungeons, which is a little disappointing, and kind of lazy. The only real additions are that of a new server to explore.
Graphics and sound design are the same as the previous game, no real updates to either one.
All in all, .Hack//Mutation isn't bad, but it just feels lazy when compared to how original the first game felt, that aside, its still a good game, but repetition is beginning to set it, I'm going to give .Hack//Mutation a 7/10.
