Hi,
i imported this game and it was worth it.this game is a must buy. the constantly keep updating it.so less codes and new modes of play. the battle mode is amazing, and the challenge is very difficult,always leaving you up for a challenge no matter your level or if your new or old to the game. if you dont plan 2 go online. i suggest sticking with ver. 1 if you have it. if your willing to go online.this is a must buy expansion.you dont need the first one for this game,so thats a nice expansion. the game is great,i couldnt wait so i imported. i think this is a must buy.

Phantasy Star Online (PSO) is a good game bordering on great. The game starts off with a ship called Pioneer 1 heading to a planet to migrate there because earth was no longer livable. Pioneer 1 had said that everything was A-OK so Pioneer 2 was sent off with the rest of earths population to go to Ragol (the name of this particular planet),But when P2 gets there they loose all contact with P1. This is where you come in,your character is tasked with investing the many areas of Ragol in search for survivors and any clue to as why the animals have suddenly gone aggressive. This is about the most story your going to get in one chunk with PSO the rest of it is told Via side quests and little text orbs in the main game.

PSO was meant to be an online game and it shows, Pioneer 2 is pretty empty and the NPCs never say anything different unless your on a side quest. Normally when your online this is the place where other players are supposed to be,now since there is no conventional way of getting online (Yes you can still go onto PSO online,via private servers) all the areas will feel empty and you can blatantly tell that you were not supposed to be the only one doing some of the missions.

The graphics of PSO are very nice for a Dreamcast game,imagine a stepped down version of PSU and your not to far from the mark. Gameplay is pretty fun,if your a beginner on PSO then you might want to try your character out as a Ranger first,being a Hunter or force you first time will result in you not playing PSO very long. My only complaint is that you have to do an area over an over again to get the proper level to beat the boss/later floors,because as mentioned above,you were supposed to be in a group to beat the bosses at lower levels.

Pros:
+Good amount of character customization
+Good Graphics
+Gameplay is fairly fun
+Feeding you MAG is rewarding
+Can still go online

Cons:
-Was meant to be online,thus levels seem kind of empty
-Have to go through levels multiple times to be strong enough to beat bosses
-Game just feels overall empty offline.

Overall I'd recommend this game if you like Phantasy Star games,but If you want a great offline experience with a story, go for PSU.

It's sad to see the Dreamcast leaving us. But it's great to know that it's leaving us in style with some of the best games. After Sega announced they would stop producing the Dreamcast, some of the best games have been released. NBA 2K2, NFL 2K2, NHL 2K2, Sonic Adventure 2, and of course Phantasy Star Online version 2.

PSO version 2 is about the Pioneer being destroyed. You use your created character to go around a planet called Ragol to research what happened and it's remains, etc. The gameplay is one area that PSO version 2 really shines. You can choose to either play online or off-line (both excellent modes). If you own PSO version 1 for Dreamcast you will be able to port you character form that game into version 2. Unlike most RPG's this game is a big-time slashing, shooting and killing game and is much more fun than many RPG's. This game also has many new quests that were not in PSO version 1 as well as several new levels such as Cave and Beach to go along with Forest 1 and Forest 2. Sonic Team has also made it easier to get more useful items throughout the game. Meseta (the money in PSO) is much more plentiful and rare items are much easier to find than in PSO version 1. Also you will find more items such as weapons that can be used by your type of character. If you would rather play online it will cost you $15 for 3 months which is not at all a bad deal. Online you can play Battle Mode vs. other players around the world, play Go-Go Soccer in the lobby or join forces with others.

If you own Phantasy Star Online version 1 and have yet to pick up version 2, you don't know what you're missing. With new quests, more rare items, and great, new levels, PSO version 2 is one of the best games on the Dreamcast. The DC definitely goes out in style.

PHANTASY Star Online version 2 is a great game for most ages. It is an action adventure somewhat similar the Zelda battle system. This game includes everything from 3 unique classes to a mini robot called a MAG that hovers over your shoulder and provides protection and help. This is one of the best games EVER made for the dreamcast system, and it is even playable online! great for any ages over 10. Also, this is a highly addictive game and never gets old because there is always something more to do.

This game... is the best RPG game EVER!!!!!
TO tell the truth... This gae is real real good.
I heard the news that this game came out in PC VERSION(!?) in Asia.
I have the PC version and it's so good.
The good thing about this game is that you can travel through world,
OR Play Online. (Exactly, playing online is much fun>
but still even if you play alone THIS Game rules.
This game has been permitted to be selled over all nations.
It was been proved that the game itself was REALLY GOOD>

If you have played Final Fantasy, You'll know the difference.
In this game you can go up to LV 200!!!!
When you play in online, you can battle with your friends, travel, OR do the Challenge Mode.*you'll know what I'm talkin when ya play the game.
Also, I read another review about this game. The reviewer WAS Unsatisfied about the Online game because you had to pay.
But WHAT SO WRONG ABOUT PAYING 15 DOLLARS FOR 3 MONTH?
ALSO!
This game...'s graphic ... is so...

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

Buy this game , you won't regret it.

I loved the first one,and this has to be a alot better.One reason is battle mode,you get to fight and hopefuly defeat the other players.Another plus in this game is thenew levels and animals and the ultimate mode for 80+,and you can trade symbole chats too.Soccer is another major thing in this gameyou will love this.The pay to play issue is no poblem its only 15 dollars every three months not a big problem.

The Version 2 of Phantasy Star Online is a great addition to an already great game, with the addition of Tons of new items, a Ultimate Mode (which is REALLY hard) a Battle mode (fight your friends online!) and a Challenge mode (limited time to kill the boss!), version 2 is sure to keep the gamers busy for quite a time... Although the expansion is good, some things have been left much the same, including the limited numbers of items you can have, the online quests and the monsters. Furthermore, the disc seems to have slightly longer loading times...still a great buy though and a must for PSO players!

This product is more or less for old time sakes, its a little more glitchy than the newer games, but the thing about this one is you have to make more decisions because of the smaller bank size, also it seem like the monsters in the ultimate mode are tougher in this version. Still it is better than version 1 in the things you can do (the scrolling) It is still fun to play even these days.

I have Phantasy Star Online V.2 of Pc Game.(In Asia PC version came out.)
I've played it and you know what...
This game ROCKS!!!

online Rpg game i've ever played in my whole entire life!!!!

In this game, you can play online or travel through phantasy world alone. Also if you have PC version, After playing all the
QUESTS(you'll know what I mean when you play this game), You can download more from the INTERNET!
In Online, You can battle with your friend, travel...etc.
If you've played RPG games like FF series...
You'll never regret it.

BUY THIS GAME< YOU WON"T REGRET IT!!!!!!!!!!)>

This game rocks. It is one cent more than the other one also(at least on amazon). But you get a lot more than number 1. New weopens, new features, new almost everything. and on top of all that.... PSO Version 1!!!! Stop complianing about the price of 15 dollars for three months.
