Editorial Review: Product Description: Phantasy Star Universe will offer users two completely different experiences for use in both online and offline play. It boasts more than 40 hours of single-player exploration -- with a character-intensive storyline and plenty of cutscenes. Specific plot details are pretty thin at this point, but we do know that the game follows a 17 year-old military cadet named Ethan Waber, a man that's determined to rescue his kidnapped sister from a mysterious life force known as THE SEED. Player-controlled vehicles eliminate the need to travel by foot Includes additional downloadable content for several years Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Fun but not as fun as PSOI thought this game was fairly repeatative. After time it became boring as all you were doing was grinding for materials and such. Rating:  - A nice mix of the Old and NewAs a owner and fan of the original Phantasy Star series, I was a little hesitant when PS Online came out. Not all of us can afford or have the hardware necessary for a MMPORPG. But when Phantasy Star Universe came out for the PS2 as a stand-alone game, I wanted to try and see if this new game had any of the charm from the old series. Overall, I really enjoyed Phantasy Star Universe. Its certainly not the original series but that's okay. It takes off in its own unique direction while ...

I have no way to play it online, and after this, little desire to. I bought this as my second game purchase, thinking it was a straight RPG. However, in handling, this game comes across as more of a shooter--that is, the characters move more like characters in a shooter game--swooping circular movement, camera angles, hyper-sensitive positioning. It even speaks of 'classes' and 'missions', things I hear more with action/shooter ... Read More Rating: - Single player is lackingWell, I played the first two episodes of this on the Xbox back in the day and even enjoyed the little card game a few years back. However, I was somewhat disappointed at this one... The first thing to note is that this series is meant for online play and PSU is a pseudo-MMO. That means all the players do not share one world, but instances of areas for each group with a central chat/lobby. Although PSU has a very comprehensive character creation process online, in single player, ... Read More Rating: - Maybe online is betterAlthough this game has been associated with good online gameplay reviews I wanted to check out the single player mode. I have found that the action RPG aspect of the battle system falls short and the environments are extremely dry. Moves are very basic and it feels your walking in the same room/area over and over again. The overall style of the world tries to give the feel of being in the online universe but is over shadowed by the problems I mentioned. I will never play this online but maybe fighting ...
