Phantasy Star Universe

I've been a huge fan of PSO ever since I had it on the dreamcast it's had me hooked. Probably because its the only online game i've bothered to play, because I know how addictive online games are, especially RPG's.

This game as I said in the title is a good sequal, its a lot more in depth gameplay and new additions, such as being able to choose what fighting style of character you will be during the game rather than having a set fighting type, like magic, melee or range throughout the game.

The graphics are good enough, i don't really worry about graphics too much to be fair. I mean crysis looks amazing on my pc but its just another FPS, this game is different to other RPG's. It can be repeatative at times, especially when trying to level up, but then again so can all RPG's.

The amount of levels and variation is good, and with the upcoming AOI the universe is set to expand. Starting out in this game is very difficult which might put some people off, but asking for help online and you'll soon get the hang of it.

On the downside tho, not being able to have an offline/online character annoys me no end, the offline mode is a set storyline which is good but would be better if you could select a character to begin with.

PSU is a good game with alot of elements from PSO, theres a few problems with this though, firstly offline mode you still need a internet connection, the 2nd is it seems to americanised, while PSO was decent PSU seems not much japanese, there is still good appearances though like De rol le boss and many more. Still worth a try though
