4.0 out of 5 stars Ignore the biast reviews., December 21, 2006

By	Magus12000BC "SNK Psycho" - See all my reviews

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This game is good. But you should only get it for two reasons.

The first is if you are a hardcore PSO fan. Version 2 for the Dreamcast doesn't match up at all to the Gamecube version. And most people that have been playing the Gamecube version have transitioned to the more superior "Blue Burst" for the PC. So this is a novelity perchase at best.

Secondly, if you are going to play this game, Sega doesn't have their Dreamcast servers up anymore. So you'll have to find a private server to play this game online. Yes, they are out there. But this game simply isn't all that much fun unless you are online.


There are also some key diffrences in the Dreamcast version in comparision to the Gamecube version. The most prominent one being that you actually drop the weapon that you have equipped if you die rather then it just merely being unequipped. I don't think I have to tell you what that means if you're playing online. And for those of you that are looking forward to playing all the offline quests, some of the quests that were in the Gamecube version were downloadable only in the Dreamcast version. So you'll miss out on a few of the quests if you stay offline. But you will have more fun with that quest where that useless RAmar, MOME, tags along with you to fight the Del Rol Le. Unlike the Gamecube version, he doesn't play dead and you have to protect him the entire fight. I thought I'd mention that for those that want to try that quest out in a new light.


In summary, this is a novelity perchase for the fans and nothing more. You can only have one character at a time in the Dreamcast version as well. So, whatever class you pick, you're stuck with and you don't have the other 3 slots to play with. It's also worth noting that the HUcastal, RAmarl, and FOmar aren't in this game either. None of those classes were particularly practical anyway. So, that's no big loss. But if you're looking for a version of PSO that can be played online for free, this is the best thing you can get outside of getting a hacked J version of "Blue Burst" to play on a private server (which is hard as hell to find now).

The kids that say that this is the best game ever, should know better.

5.0 out of 5 stars What's everyone's problem?(I agree with DragonFlameX), March 26, 2002

By	"ultimateston" (Poland, Warsaw) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Imported, September 9, 2001

By A Customer

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.
