Despite one or two annoyances this is a great game

.Hack//G.U. Vol.2//Reminisce defenitely improves upon the already great Vol.1
The story really picks up and clears up a lot of questions, which is really good for those who never played the original .hack games like me.
A lot of improvements were made to the gameplay as well...
You can change weapons using the skill trigger to use a skill for the weapon you want(once you get the job extension, which gives you the awesome looking Haseo)
The fights involve more strategy with all three of your weapons and not mindlessly mashing buttons
new, more interactive awakening and improved morale system
NPCs are more customizable and interactive, plus the addition of some nice party members
You can visit a new town and buy parts there to customize your steam bike(which is actually useful now)
you can buy better equipment and now alchemize your armor too
you can visit new areas and fight new monsters.
with the expanding story and major improvements to the gameplay this is a must play for anyone who played the first, but like the first the repeating levels and missions are a little repetative and it seems a lot of pointless wandering, like logging in to go talk to a character for about 5 lines of dialogue only to log out again and this can be frustrating inbetween adventuring. All around this is a really good game/improvement on the first one and with a summary of the first game at the beginning even first time players can enjoy the game as well
