Wonderful... and much longer than the first game! [Posted on 2007-10-05]
Oddly enough, I'm finding myself enjoying the .hack//GU games more than Phantasy Star Universe, an actual online RPG that has many of the same action RPG mechanics!!

As opposed to the first game, we finally get some really interesting customizing items and three slotted weapons, which allows really encourages switching weapons in battle, including the scythe gained with your third form. It reminds me of the slotted armors back in Phantasy Star Online... it's hard not to compare the two games, oddly. The set up of fighting is similar, online RPG, and heavy on the repetitive dungeons...

We get one new dungeon skin, and one new town in this game. Mrrr... Well at least the thundering field levels still looks awesome.

New plot twists and turns... make you forced to buy the third game to get to the end. Arrg. Seriously, it's okay to take longer and release it all on one disk. I've longed for a game with 100+ hours for a loooong time. Could there a least be a fancy box for all three discs? Or a multi disc game? Remember that, on the PS1? Yeah, and it cost a little more, but not as much as a whole new game? The first .hack// games came with coupons for the next volume released...

Great Order [Posted on 2008-01-07]
I bought this game for my son and he loves it. It was a great price and I got it in a great time frame. I love Amazon and will always order from them first.

I purchased this game for my daughter. We were having a hard time finding it anywhere and I found it here. Her and her friends really like the game. They had it finished in four days of playing after school.

An engaging and unforgettable adventure [Posted on 2008-05-24]
Reminisce is the second volume in the .hack//G.U. trilogy. It continues the adventure of Haseo, who has lost his closest friend to the mysterious monster known as Tri-Edge.

It takes place in the online game "The World," though the game itself isn't online. Reminisce simulates an online game, and as such, you can interact with other "players" by talking to them, trading items, and sending and receiving emails.

In my opinion, Reminisce is the best game in the series. More than any else, it chronicles Haseo's growth from a child into an adult as he learns to cope with unfortunate truths about the world and the people he's come to love and trust. Reminisce takes you into the characters and forces you to care about them. Even Atoli, whom I had despised since Rebirth, I came to pity and sympathize for in her anguish.

The combat is improved across the board: in addition to the new scythe weapon, which allows you to cut through groups of enemies at once, Reminisce offers what many fans have been begging for since volume one: the weapon trigger. The weapon trigger allows you to dynamically switch weapons with little to no delay in between, which was previously an annoyance in volume one and would be absolutely unforgivable with the expanded weapons system in Reminisce.

All in all, I highly recommend it to RPG fans, as well as those that just enjoy a good story. It has an engaging plot and some unbelievable plot twists. I recommend it whole-heartedly.
