A big let down for PSO players.
User Rating: 7.9 | Phantasy Star Universe X360
Phantasy Star Universe is suppose to a follow up to PSO, but all I see is nothing more than a half done sequel if you can call it a sequel. Now not all of PSU is bad there are some good things about it. One of the first is a new single player campaign that gives us some characters with a 50 hour plus story, but if you can get past the cheesy story than at its core this is an enhanced PSO engine which works. One thing you will note on the 360 version is the way the graphics look like an Xbox original game and the game doesn't even take advantage of the 360's graphics power. The music is your standard pop techno and it is forgettable, but thanks to the 360's custom tracks you can cut out the bad music. The monthly fee you have to pay for PSU is outrageous and even makes PSO:BB look like a cheaper game. The multiplayer is the saving grace of this game, but if you are looking for a good single player game don't get this game, look for something else. Maybe by the time they release they expansion they might fix the problems of this game, but until then don't buy this game just rent it.
