Phantasy Star Online (GC) Reviews

You play as either a warrior or a mage and you can level up through all the in game fighting you perform. However the enemies in the main one player game has only few enemies to chose from fighting and they are stupid which makes it a bit boring to play. The game is meant to be played for the online factor. Hence the name phantasy star ...  Read the complete review

I love this game!!!! I think anyone who buys it would love it too.. The level system it runs on makes u want to play for hours to gain levels to become a top Hunter.

When I first saw the pictures for PSO in CVG I began to think that this would change the way that I thought about the Dreamcast. The idea of an online RPG with players from around Europe and the USA sounded amazing. Because this game was going to be online and interactive it sounded like a game that would not become repetitive or boring, but I ...  Read the complete review

Not since Zelda 64 came along have I been so drawn into a game! As soon as I heard about this game I knew I had to have it! The fact that I didn't have a Dreamcast at the time didn't matter. This was the game that for a few weeks would change my life and, like Zelda, force me to buy a new machine! So, after giving over my ...  Read the complete review

First of all I would like to share with you a fact I discovered-this game is amazing! The moment you tap into the character selection screen you’ll realize this isn’t your ordinary RPG. You can change your character all you want and there are almost too many things to tamper with at first. At the basic level, you’ll need to pick ...  Read the complete review

I lost 200 hours of my life to this game. A couple of years ago I pretty much swore off online games. Most the titles around were either first person shooters (ack), dull, overly complex western role-players or just plain sucky. Then at the end of last year my devotion to Sonic Team, and a bit of prodding from a few people, caused me to ...  Read the complete review

Phantasy Star Online (PSO) is an RPG with a difference. While it has an adequate story line (and admittedly weak in comparison to some epic RPG tales), it is one of the few RPG's that offers a new 'experience'. And that's really what PSO is about - the 'experience' of playing the game online with newfound friends. ...  Read the complete review

Phantasy star online- many praised it as one of dreamcasts pinacle games, but was this justified against other, quite frankly, excellent RPG games. Well......yes!!! it is! Although not as initally engaging as final fantasy VII, or as graphical as Shenmue, the game immediatley looks stunning and considering the technology looks, in the later ...  Read the complete review

PSO is probably the most stunning game I have ever played. An auspicious opening you might say but please allow me to continue. Sonic Team’s latest creation quite simply is shockingly good. First lets get the basics out of the way. Despite the packaging and publicity, PSO is not really an RPG. There are no turn-based battles, no ...  Read the complete review

What is it that people like about RPGs? The numbers? The complicated battle system? How about the hit points and weapon strengths? No? Well it must be the characters and story then.

Such a big name, Phantasy Star online could So easily have been a big flop, but if you have played this game for yourself, you will be well aware this couldn’t be further from the truth!

Forget all your pre-conceptions of computer RPGs; Phantasy Star Online (PSO) is something very new... it takes the "character development" aspects of RPGs (e.g. character classes, stats, persistent inventory), and marries it up with slick 4-player arcade action, much akin to the 80s arcade classic "Gauntlet" (only in ...  Read the complete review

They say that football is a game of two halves, but with the Dreamcast's drought of great games in that particular genre we gamers must look for our thrills elsewhere. With Phantasy Star Online (PSO), those gaming gurus Sonic Team have provided us with an experience who's two distinct halves render sporting conflict bland in comparison. ...  Read the complete review
