FINALLY! The last disc... or is it?

Welcome to the World... again and for the last time. Disc 4 of 4 and its still no real improvement. Chances are if you are playing this you just want to finish the story... and good for you!

Good- Very strong and interesting story still, great for those who have read the manga/ watched the anime. Most all the characters carry over to this disc with same stats if you loaded the previous flagged save (you will see why I say most if you have played it). Control is still same and if you missed something from the previous disc(s) you can still acquire it usually (some quests/items do not appear from disc to disc).

Bad- Same troubles as the previous editions... monotonous dungeons and somewhat dry dialog. Unfortunately if you have played this far you are starting to see a trend... and possibly a marketing scam! If you havent figured out the marketing ploy... you probably have purchased all of those "make money now from home" books and CDs.

Ugly- Same basic scripting problems but hey... you made it this far, why would you care.

Last one! You did it, and only $80 or a few months worth of work. Again I say... They really could have cut about 30 hours out of this WHOLE mess and plastered it on to two discs.

I recommend watching the 'luminalites' DVDs that go along with the games... its adds some flavor on the side to the story.

Challenging,and a good ending for a 4 part series.

.Hack/Quarantine delivers a surprisingly challenging game atmosphere compared to its predecessors,and not to mention finally "wrapping up" this 4 part game series.

There are many mixed reviews about this game, not to mention the series as a whole, but the game does deliever a great story to keep anyone captivated. Here are some pros and cons about .Hack/Quarantine

Pros:
-Finally receive some answers in the end
-Somewhat challenging compared to the other 3
-Same gameplay (good for those that don't like change)
-Some of the characters from the .Hack/Sign series appear
-Using a wide variety of virus cores other than 3 a game
-New Drain Ability! which data drains all enemies
Great story!

Cons:
-Repetitive, but you know this by now
-Maybe over challenging in regards to using SEVERAL virus cores to unlock protected areas.
-Virus infection rate is higher, especially draining any monster level 70+
-To much time spent on collecting and leveling up

Overall it is a decent game, if you consider all for being part of 1 game instead of separate ones. Playing all 4 back to back is better than waiting in my opinion. The issue we deal with in game series is we expect games to be better each time around, but considering this is really 1 long game, divided into 4, we must consider we are playing the same game. The graphics are the same, game play is the same, really everything in these games is the same. .Hack fans will really get a kick out of it, but may lack in quality to those that did not get into the other games.
