Customer Reviews:

Tiny bit repetitive, but overall excellent [Posted on 2006-11-21]
This game is really well done, except for the repetive parts. I know that it is just the part that sets up the upcoming games, but it is a bit short. The graphics are excellent, one of the better ones I have played. I would recommend this game for any person who is familiar with the Manga/ other parts of .Hack, because this game sort of jumps directly into the plot, and it can be confusing it you have no history with .hack.

Graphics: 5
Plot/ Gameplay: 4
Difficulty:4
Funness: 4
Overall: 4.5

When you purchase this, you might as well buy all four parts becuse you can transfer your save game to the next part. Also, the plot gets better from part to part.

Great start to a good story. [Posted on 2007-03-09]
It's a really good idea to try the anime's as well as the books, because they all have a intersecting story. This game takes a bit to grow on ya but the story draws you in and keeps you wanting to know more. Your characters can carry over into the next volume too when you finish with this one.

The start of a great game series. [Posted on 2007-08-03]
I will not spoil anything and will make this review short: The .hack games are great. You'll love it. After you've played this, play the others, because they rock as well.

Review on Hack infection [Posted on 2007-09-06]
I think the gane is very good but its going to be hard to levelup.Plus you get a dvd as a bonus when the game/it's about a girl who played a game called the world and she must find out how she got out of a coma but her friend didn't get through the coma.

A Solid New Concept... [Posted on 2007-11-26]
...is what I would have called .hack//INFECTION upon its first being released. 6 games, and countless anime episodes and manga books later, I would still stick with my original decision.

In this game the player assumes the role of Kite, a newbie character in the fictional MMORPG (Short for Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) "The World" set in the "distant" year of 2010. Upon first logging in, Kite is invited by his real life friend, and fellow player of "The World" (known as Orca) to an area to level Kite's character up. I'm not going to ruin too much, but Kite and Orca quickly finds himself face to face with a monster no one has ever seen before.

The monster puts Orca in a coma, and Kite soon meets a mysterious girl named Aura that presents the newbie with a "Braclet" that infuses Kite with unimaginable powers beyond those of any character in "The World".

This game is filled with bold characters, countless areas (Literally there are 1000's of random areas one could invent.) and a unique storyline packed with twists and supprises along the way. Although the story can be a bit dull at times, and the dungeons can get quite tedious, the game is truly a masterpiece, and is worth the time of any gamer with a thirst for adventure.

(It is also my reccomendation that one should play this before diving into the .hack//G.U. series.)
