Could have been better. Very repetitive, and definatly not worth the online fee.

This is a good addition to any fan of PSO, but everyone else in the world could definitely do well without it. There are so many ways it could have been better.

Like for starters scratch the subscription fee! It actually seems like they have some nerve to put a $10 a month fee on a game that isn't even very good. It's barely even an MMO, and the things you do are so repetitive.

All you do in missions is go in a room, kill the slow stupid monsters, then go to the next room that looks the same, and kill the same monsters again, and repeat until you reach the end or the end boss, which is even less challenging.

Doing these missions with other people is a little more fun, but also more frustrating. The person who struck the enemy last gets the experience, and if your not careful, can also take the loot.

I've actually had some guy at the last boss make me sacrifice myself so that they could kick me out of the party when the boss is almost dead, then they finish it off and get the loot. It sick-end me, and from then on i was careful on who i travelled with.

The single player isn't so bad, but the stuff you do is also repetitive and tedious. They are different objectives, but you have to do the same things to accomplish those objectives. The cut-scenes are pretty cool, if not cheesy. It makes it feel like a anime TV show, which isn't really a bad thing.

The thing that bugs me the most about this game is the subscription fee. Of course I haven't paid for it, because all that i did online was in the demo, but i have the game, and decided that it isn't worth paying for it. The demo was enough for me to be honest, and it was actually kind of annoying because i had to download a demo for a game i already had. Why dosn't it let you try it first? That's pretty dumb.

So why. I bought a 360, pay for internet, bought the game, and pay for xbox live, and they have the nerve to ask for more?!? All of this already costs hundreds, if not thousands of dollers and in the end the game isn't even worth it.

The best thing to do is get the demo if you want online. Your character gets deleted after awhile (not sure how long i think its a couple weeks), but you won't care because you have had enough for awhile after about 1 or 2 days.
If you want the single player then buy the game used,and have your fun. I personally think the game isn't worth the full new price, so i that's why I bought it used.

Once you try it, you'll understand what the rest of the game is like after about a half hour of play time.
