Disappointing.Sep 01, 2009
By Michelle I sound harsh but I honestly tried to like this game,unfortunately I didn't. This game was disappointing. At first I had fun until I realized that EVERYTHING is the same. Exactly the same. All you do in the entire game is beat a monster,open a door,beat a monster,open a door,beat a monster,open a door through the ENTIRE game. That's it. This is a very poor game and the makers were too lazy to create anything fun. You can't even talk to the npc's,they turn invisible when you approach them..it's a pathetic excuse and it shows that the makers were too lazy to make actual npc's with personality or dialogue. This game doesn't deserve to be called a role playing game.
I did like how you could equip different weapons at the same time and change clothes for your character and how you can customize a new character in the extra mode,unfortunately the game becomes very boring after the first couple of "kill,open doors, kill, open doors" thing that I don't want to even bother with that.
I got Rogue Galaxy with this and that game also has different weapons and equipment/clothes which is rare in most Japanese styled RPG's,it also have a nice story and the characters and the world is extremely well made unlike this poor boring game.
This is just my opinion though,I myself love role playing games and for me this game was disappointing. Others might not care for that and they might like this game for the battles but this was just not for me.

Maybe online is betterApr 09, 2007
By Kilroy
"Old Ram"
Although this game has been associated with good online gameplay reviews I wanted to check out the single player mode. I have found that the action RPG aspect of the battle system falls short and the environments are extremely dry. Moves are very basic and it feels your walking in the same room/area over and over again. The overall style of the world tries to give the feel of being in the online universe but is over shadowed by the problems I mentioned. I will never play this online but maybe fighting with fellow gamers helps over come these factors. For those who want to play a single player action RPG with this type of feel I suggest Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. It is an older game but the best action RPG I have played for the PS2.

Single player is lackingMay 02, 2007
By Risrepkel Well, I played the first two episodes of this on the Xbox back in the day and even enjoyed the little card game a few years back. However, I was somewhat disappointed at this one...
The first thing to note is that this series is meant for online play and PSU is a pseudo-MMO. That means all the players do not share one world, but instances of areas for each group with a central chat/lobby.
Although PSU has a very comprehensive character creation process online, in single player, you get stuck with some guy in a hoodie who thumbs his nose like Cid from Kingdom Hearts (or rather he tries to dislocate his nose with his knuckles)... The gameplay becomes repetitive with only boss monsters offering a different style of combat for players. Unfortunately, there are only about a dozen of those around.
The controls also leave a lot to be desired. The entire d-pad is unused on the main screen as well as L2/R2 buttons. You can't create custom key mappings to actually link useful commands to them like switching with the next weapon down the list or use a monomate. This is important because to navigate the palette, you have to use the d-pad which makes it difficult to dodge attacks when in combat. And chances are most of the times you need to heal is in combat with a boss where dodging is very important.
In conclusion, this is a great game if you plan on going online and paying the fee. If you're looking for single player action, you might want to look elsewhere.
Surprise inside!Apr 06, 2012
By Sgt_Tragedy Well I've only just begun but it's actually quite surprising. The game has you going through these weird vids but as you progress you find it's set up like a tv show. After each chapter, you save and it shows you previews for the next bit (which can be annoying if you like surprises.
Overall though, I'd say its a great start to a fun game.
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.
