This is my 2nd most played game across platforms. This is perfect for those who like past paced gaming. Its futuristic so give you a star wars feel which is what I like. There is also "Ambition Of The Illuminus" expansion pack which not only give your more areas and monsters it improves the graphic element also. That however requires 2GB space on your HDD. This game requires a XBOX Live Gold account to play in addition to your monthly subscription fee. For those who played Phantasy Star Online be advised they have changed several elements which you may not be happy with. Ie the battle system. However they have put some of the old bosses rom PSO in PSU via the expansion pack. The flat monthly fee allows you up to 4 characters online giving you access to Episode II & III(Epi III is via expan pack). Its another Perfect choice for those who can't or dont wish to purchase a new game monthly. For the small monthly fee of £6.99 I find it good value for money.
