Fixes everything PSU did wrong.Apr 05, 2008
By Kuro Korin Phantasy Star Universe had a few flaring flaws in the original title: a lackluster storyline, heavy loss-rates for items and repetitive hack-and-slash gameplay. But they made up for it.
PSU AoI introduces several new features, mainly nostalgia relating back to Phantasy Star Online. The addition of PSO based clothing, areas, and timed-hits bring back what made PSO fun, and expands on it. Unfortunately, they did not fix the ratty ally AI, nor did they make it any less cheap with traps or enemies that seem just a tad faster. But the game is still fun, and the flexibility in weapons, clothing and hairstyles they have added make your Guardian completely customizable. I recommend only buying this if you play online, since that is part of the charm of the series.
Offline play does have its merits, even though the story is a carbon copy of Online's Episode 2. Also, it would've been more fun to be able to remodel your room and add more objects like in online play, but it is still solid.
Overall, I enjoyed it, and it is worth checking out, especially online.

Great gameMar 28, 2012
By Guy If you enjoyed Phantasy Star Online for Gamecube/PC/Dreamcast you'll enjoy this game as well. The only issue is that the servers are no longer around, so the game is rather short. Since you can transfer your character data from the first game, this expansion adds a couple more hours of play time and a lot of new items and quests to do and you can start out from where you left off in the previous game.
PSO fan first....now, PSU-AotINov 03, 2011
By Ike I originally started playing PSO with my brother on Nintendo Gamecube and I'm amazed at the similarities. I have heard that in PSU the user was unable to modify their character for story mode, which I've always really enjoyed, and I'm glad to this game does. In addition, the game is great and addicting :O) I'm glad I purchased this from Amazon and I couldn't ask for a better result at a great price!
Thanks!!

I am a long time Gamer I guess you could say at 56 I have been playing since Atari first came out. I play Phantasy Star Universe with my son step son and a multitude of friends..just as I have played Final Fantasy Eleven Online for years...It's great interaction, entertainment and an interesting way to meet people from all walks of life from all over the world. I have watched my son play this game for some time now and have enjoyed the 'format/layout and programming'..they finally convinced me to join...I'm glad I did. Purchasing from Amazon was done in a professional and timely manner and I appreciate the process.
