.Hack: Infection (Part 1) for PlayStation 2 Reviews by Gamers

okay i got this game for its its high reveiw's but is just awful your never find a area you can battle early on the control's are AWFUL you move in 8 directions that would okay for over head BUT NO OVER HEAD next almost every button opens a different menu which is annoying but not broken then the story is to weird to be intresing or even passable Also the the graphic's are bad PS1 quality i know graphics arent that important but it come's off as lazy the only thing good about THE ONLY THING is the main character is voiced by izzy from digimon its so OVERRATED it truly make's me sad

I have to say, this game is excellent! It puts a whole new twist on the term "RPG" because it's an RPG within an RPG. You play as a newbie named Kite in a game called "The World". Something awful happens to your friend so you set off on a virtual adventure to save him. You aren't very strong at first, but you have this unique skill called "Data Drain".

"The World" is supposed to be an online game, and it does a VERY good job of imitating one. It has that 'online' feel to it. A bunch of players running around, talking to each other. My dad even asked "Are you actually playing with other people?"

Being an older game, the graphics are a little choppy (pretty good for the year it's from though), and the voice track doesn't always express the dialog the way it should. But if you look past its flaws, it's a great game.

There is a variety of different levels and dungeons to go to. The scenery doesn't really get old. However, the plot line can be a little monotonous.

All and all, the game is awesome. I wouldn't mind having a few more cut scenes, but some gamers don't like them as much as I do anyway, so that's fine. I definitely recommend renting this game. I bought it and I have no regrets so far.

Oh, the 45 min. video that accompanies the game isn't half bad either!
