4.0 out of 5 stars Just a Regular Review, December 21, 2006
By K. Bisram (New York) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
I got the game recently it has like 12 levels where you can get to travel to three different worlds [I forgot their funny names, I remember now, Parum, Mootab...i forgot the other]. So far I'm on 7th quest and each quest last roughly 30 minutes [Some I finish under 20] so overall the game is pretty quick offline. But there is an online mode which you can play online with other users; I haven't tried it out so I can't fill you in the details. There's also an "Extra Mode" which you can unlock after you do a certain amount of quests. Extra Mode is basically you get to be another "Guardian", other than the main character, Ethan [I know what kind of RPG name is thaT!!], and take on the quests you already completed with the Ethan. Unlike "Story Mode" which is the original mode you play with Ethan, Extra Mode never ends until you end it yourself. Extra mode is pretty nifty because you can create your own character from the hair to the clothes and even the voice is customizable.

Even though, the game is pretty fun and has a somewhat good replay value, I would suggest renting it first. I haven't played the rest of Phantasy Star sagas, so this one is my first so I can't tell you the differences and similarities

Cons:
-the buttons commands were hard to get use to
-too short
-stupid AI, stand around doing nothing, and when you leave to kill the enemy, they yell "where's Ethan!!"
-When the character's have conversations, the bubbles take up a good portion of the screen making it hard to see
-No pause button!! So if you left your game, let say to go the bathroom you have to make sure you clear out the area because can get attack and die [trust me on this on]
-Not much to explore in the planets, unless you prefer not to have a bunch of places that don't serve a purpose
-When you beat one of the 12 chapters they show the same cut scene from the beginning act over and over...it's pretty annoying

Pros:
-Big area maps w/ pretty scenery
-A lot is customizable; include Rank, such as Hunter, can buy clothes and change into them
-You can use almost any type of weapon you want and change it easily
-Nice cut scenes
-Nice futuristic look but as great as Star Ocean
-They put extra characters but the ones who you can't talk to disappear
-"The Buddy System", you can get to pick which characters you want to go with you on your side quests
-The three planets you get different distinctive shops, they don't sell you the same thing as the others
-Earn money pretty quick and spend it quickly
-Pretty easy to gain levels
-Enemies offer a good challenge, they don't die to easily and they aren't too defeat
-A lot of treasure to be found
-The made the chapters look like an anime or TV show, having a introduction on what the chapter is about before you play it, can be interesting for some or just a spoiler for some
-Synthesis ability, even though you have to find the boards before you can synthesis item and each board has a limit to how much you can synthesis
-When an ally is dead they resurrect themselves in some time

[That's all I can think of on the top of my head]

Overall I would say the game is good, but too short [But the online & Extra mode seems to show some promise]. I recommend people who haven't played the rest of the phantasy star sagas to rent it before, instead of regretting spending $60 on a game they didn't like. Great way of just spending time killing enemies, saving the world without much of hassle of needing a walkthrough

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun but Highly Repetitive, January 7, 2007
A Kid's Review
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This game is very fun on your first go through story mode, and the storyline makes me think of a bad anime. But after that, I saw nothing else to do but try to and repeat missions for meseta(PSU's form of currency)for the best weapons and armor, and after doing that, there is absolutely nothing to do but the missions which you will no longer need to do unless you are bent on achieving the maximum level.

I did all this in the offline mode, and online mode may be different in good ways. But making a game which is basically like Diablo 2 in space pay-to-play, I found to be very idiotic. In short, if you enjoy games that have an easy story mode, and require you to spend large amounts of time to get the decent weapons, and enjoyed PSO, then you will most likely enjoy this game.

5.0 out of 5 stars COMPLETELY ADDICTING!, July 20, 2007
By Sandra L. Carter (Grove City, Oh USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Okay so the storyline is so and so. Not a bad one but at points sort of corny but I overall enjoyed it. Was too short. But here is the good part. Online is completely amazing you WILL BE ADDICTED. My fiance plays and so do I and we never quit. We fight over it! The story line continues in oline mode. With new charactors and such. Online there are thousands of poeple you meet, so many new missions to do, it's just so fun. They update everyweek. New levels. Such as it used to be level 80 was the highest. Now they updated it to 90. SWEET!
A new expansion pack comes out for your rooms. So they are more whats the world??? kewler?? haha.
You can have pools, fans, all kinds of nick nacks. New weapons. The prices are a big ubsured. BUT it makes it for longer gameplay. I love it. It's completely addicting. ^_^
