great price and great Game I thought I already did this rating but if not sorry.
I have played PSO with my best friend for a couple years, and when he left for the Fleet in the Marine Corps, I couldn't play anymore because he took it with him :( I broke down and bought a NGC and this game was the first on my list. The game arrived in excellent condition and I've needed to buy another memory card just to keep up with my character list now ^_^
The difficulty increases the more people are in the party. Sega made a few mistakes. However, the highest difficulty level you can go to in multiplayer is limited by how high everyone in the party has gone. Meaning if one player hasn't passed Hard, but everyone else has, you can only select Hard or below if they are playing too.Otherwise, the only point to the game is collecting dropped items. So be sure your friend brings their own memory card to play, if they ever want to take their character elsewhere.This game is highly repetitive after the first few times through.But there are a multitude of "side quests" accomplished by taking Missions through the Hunter's Guild in a very specific order. Particularly that you cannot move your characters between memory cards. [.].The main draw of this game is being able to play with all your friends, as the online mode or simply the "all together in one physical room" mode of multiplayer with all four people allowed at once is really quite spectacular. Or playing Online, in which even more quests, special event items or special item-grinding can be done.The second revison has different cover art, and fixes the infamous shop-duplication bug.
You would need to play over 500-1000 hours to experience everything.40 - 50 days worth of playing, i mean. I love this game. I know almost no one is gonna read a review for this, so i'll put it quick and simple. Its so sad they have discontinued it."sniff".But i think this is one of the greatest games of all time. but it is so worth it.
If you're looking for a game with realistic, beautiful, colorful backgrounds, i can't say i'd recommend this game. If you don't pay attention to the rambally of the principal at the beginning of the game you won't know why the heck your fighting until the 3rd or 4th level. but a little cartoony for my taste; the monsters don't have much detail (for instance it took me 3 months to relizes the evil sharks had dark green scails) and although the backgrounds are colorful, not realistic, for example most caves (or at least the ones i've seen) don't have lava waterfalls with a metal bridge going over them. You can choose a fast, but weak attack, and slow but strong attack or a very slow but special attack (such as lightning, freezing, steal money, steal health etc). And best yet you can play online. Nintendo pros will even spend much time on this game due to multiple things. Occansionally you'll turn around and retrace your steps but you always find your way through.
The graphics are nice. #2 each class has different attributes such as robot, human male, human female, girl robot etc. What's great about the maps of this game is that it has the "maze element" but not so much to the point where you get frusterated and turn the gamecube off. (I'm still trying to beat very hard mode with a ranger.). #3 There are different difficulty levels, once you beat normal you can try hard, then very hard, then ultimate. This game is pretty darn good. The end of the game kinda leaves you hanging too.Next, the gameplay.
It turns out you're in a spaceship with a ton of people looking for a new home planet -Your misson: Fight through the alien monsters and see if it's safe. It's graphics are detailed, the sound is of decent quality and the story line actually makes sense.We'll start with the storyline. The game could definitly use a tutorial i got killed like 5 times before i got the rythem of the game. As you progress though the game you can find and buy different weapons, powerups and armor. There are no cutscenes which is a definite time saver but you end up forgetting about the story in general through out the game. (requires and gamecube internet adapter though.).Lastly, the graphics. You go around different areas such as forests, caves, mines, runes, temples, spaceships and some others and kill monsters. #1 you can choose from 3 different classes: hunter (melee) ranger (gun-ranger) or a mage type (range-magic).
You attack in a combo up to 3 hits at a time. Other than that though it's great. in a rythmic pattern. Anyway over all it's definitly worth buying and playing.
