First of the 7 best games ever!
PostedFebruary 23, 2011
From the first time I played this game I was addicted to the dot.hack series. This is the first of the series. It gives the foundation for the story. The length of each of the individual dot.hack games (vol1-4) are not very long compared to many other RPGs, but nevertheless are completely worth playing. I mainly only play RPGs, with a few exceptions, and the dot.hack games are my all-time favorite games EVER!!! *On a side note* Gameplay/Story > Everything Else > Graphics... Yes, graphics are the least important thing when deciding if a game is good.

One of the best games around

To say I loved it, that might be an understatement. Last night, I just beat it and... wow, it's great. This game has flaws like any other but, it's great points eliminate all of those.
I suppose I should start with the few things that irked me. Now, if you have played the game, you'd notice that when you go into a protected area there are times when the screen flashes and such. It's really annoying if it happens mid-battle but normally it tends to not. There is also the fact that when you beat the game, the only way to watch the 'movie' parts (if you don't speak Japanese) is to change your language to English. That leads to another thing. Their English voices aren't good, at all. >shivers< I swear, I tried to watch my brother play (he hates Japanese voice overs) and I had to leave the room...
Some of the better parts of the game is the dungeons. They are fun and are easily are great. G-r-e-a-t. I trained for a whole day straight without getting bored. (of course I took breaks every now and then.) The battle style is slightly different than most but, that's a good thing. Another thing is, without meaning to, you become very serious while playing the game. Last night, while trying to beat the last boss, I was shaking because I was so nervous. The graphics aren't the best but, they aren't the worst. The music is wonderful. I could spend hours listening to it. I love the way you can e-mail the other characters. Their responses make me smile. The characters had their own personalities, which really made the game fun to play. I would have to say that Kite is one of the better main characters. Though, my favorite character would have to be Balmung and my least would be BlackRose. (I can't help it... she's just to...ugh)
Anyway, the game overall is fantastic.
