the awe-inspiaring dot hack |
| adam from cleburne USA says (30/Jul/2004): |
ok...my opinion of dothack is that it it by far the best game ever ithis game only as a rental and it was not just amere gaming expereince......it was a game tha pulled me in i played for 1hr at first and then rested but once i started again there was no stoppin...i played it only for 3 days and made it all the way to the final area without ne help from a guide or a cheat...i got the hang of it in like half an hour...and my expereince with gettin the hang of a game is very bad...i'm not sayin it was easy...but rather its soooooooo addictive the could lay back on the foul language and could work on the fact that the final area's monsters were soooo super-strong...but such is the way of the game world the final area has the coolest and most powerful enemies in it i never made it to skieth but sum day when i own the game i will defeat skieth and then i'll get the next part but i tell u its way better than ne game out there(that includes final fantasy...which i played an personaly DONT like)..and i personaly wuld liketo tnk the peolefwho created the game it is so awe sum

masterpiece! |
| A gamer says (18/Apr/2004): |
.hack ... how to describe it?!
Shamelessly, I haven't bought this game yet :( Being a typical RPG fan, I have played most RPG games inside out, back to front... and dothack has to be one of the greatest games I have ever played. The plot is very simple, but not boring in any way, so if plot comes first in your catagory, you won't be disapointed in any way. It's also very original!
Secondly, Graphics... not much of a problem here. Okay, the graphics are not as good as Final Fantasy 10 or Final Fantasy 10-2, but they are very good. The game is in a mixture of 2D and 3D with a touch of Manga... nice.
And last of all, gameplay. The gameplay, I think, is very similar to Dark Cloud as you have plenty of dungeons to explore, which in my opinion is a good thing. The game is basically "a game within a game", which is very creative and clever. It plays as though it's an online game, and because I've never played an online game before, I found that very interesting. It's also has some very funny conversation in it as though you were playing an online game, like "Got to go, the dinner's burning! :("
Overall, I think that dothack is a near perfect game with just one or two tiny flaws in it. I strongly reccomend that you buy it if you haven't already, and I eagerly awaiting Part 2.

| ???? from USA says (11/Apr/2004): |
This is one of my favorie games yet including the whole .hack// series. I already finished it, but it took 3 weeks to do it because I was getting the hang of it. There's nothin' that I know that can beat the excitement and fun in this game. It was a cool experience waiting to know what happens next. The first phase, Skeith, was really cool looking and powerfull. I'll have more and meybe better reviews for Vol. 2 and 3 in little bit. Now for my hints and stuff: 1. when you get poison grunty, Iron grunty, and Noble grunty in 8 server, you can do a flag race and aim for good items like 3rd place-Divine Cross and it will heal you and your party members max HP, 2nd place-Silver Gruntie that will give you a boost of 15 max SP, and 1st place-Gives you a golden grunty wich is like a Silver but it boost max HP and you get a imege 51 as a prize too. When you fight Skeith you should bring Piros along.

A True Masterpiece |
| Hipolito from Cranston, RI says (1/Mar/2004): |
This is the first time I've ever posted a review of any game online. I must say that this game truly steals the prize when it comes to a great tory line. It is primarily for this reason that I needed to give my two cents. From the moment you log onto "The World", which is the name of the "online" world you play in, the story begins to slowly unfold and suck you in. I was hooked from that moment and played the game for about 20hrs straight--well give or take the 10 minutes I used eat and visit the little boy's room :-) Yes, the game is very addictive. Combined with some great graphics (not the best I've seen, but they are up there), good sound (the voices are wonderful but the music could be a bit better), some interesting elements (like being able to trade with other characters, which are controlled by the game, and other things like creating certain types of levels, depending on how you arrange a list of words--in groups of 3--this sounds like a lot and one of characters helps explain it and you also can read about it on the message board, which is part of the game too), the game portrays a sense of depth (having many of the qualities of a massive online multiplayer game, and I must say this again, the marvelous story line keeps you working your fingers to the point where it helps to bust out your carpal tunnel braces! I recommend this game because it sets itself apart from the rest. I haven't played too many games that let you take your powered up character and items and allow you to transpose them into the sequel! Happy sore fingers, Have fun!

been playin it all night |
| prince of dark dreams from Ohio,USA says (31/Jan/2004): |
this game is great! and so freakin addictive i mean when i am doing something else dothack comes into my mind and its like takin control of my mind the graphics are awesome the storyline is adventerous and its like never ending the characters in the game are cool and the voiceover was a great idea and you'll never be wandering around the dungeon wondering what to do because pretty much everytime you enter a different room a monster...or a whole crowd will attack you its got a cool game structure and its almost exactly like an online rpg and you arent forced to do missions you can go out on dungeon adventures in search of rare items and weapons and i just think its so cool that they have a bunch of non-player-character wandering around the towns that you can talk and trade with in a realistic manor this is definetely a great rpg game and i congratulate bandai for creating such a game well i'd better get offline now my dothack senses are tingling!!! :d

Bypass the mediocre graphics and you will find a deep plot at the core. |
| Azreal the Cheshire Cat from Wonderland says (13/Jan/2004): |
An interesting concept to say the very least. A Massivly Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, thats niether massive, online, or multiplayer? I found this very interesting infact I found it suprising, a game with an actually unique concept in this day in age? Lead on.
The games strong point is its plot. If it lacked in that area I don't think I would give it the time of day, the contol is a little sluggish and the graphics are mediocre at best, with some pretty cheap AI, but with a plot this grand its hard to hold any of that against .hack. It follows the main character, Kyte, through a quest to save his best friend from a game induced comatose. It all happens when his friend teaches him how to play the game, his friend Orca, who has been playing for a while basically has attained God status so playing in a low level dungeon poses no threat. However the two encounter an invincible creature which Orca cannot kill. He is defeated in the game, and is found in an unwavering coma by his computer. Kyte who has been instilled with a bracelet that allows him to hack the mechanics of the game, is now determined to find out what has happened to his good friend. The story takes many a unexpected plot twist and leaves you craving for the next game.
What prevents this game from being perfect in my mind is the downfalls that it suffers when it comes to gameplay. The combat system gives you total control over your AI controlled team mates using yell commands, but leaves you wishing that you had more control over yourself. The control seems a little sluggish and unresponsive at times making for at least one death that could have been prevented. Actually I find that there are alot of cheap deaths. The main problem with it is when an enemy makes you a target of a spell you cannot move until the spell is over. When you are pitted in a situation against multiple magic using enemies your stuck and can do nothing but take the beating.
The graphics are jagged and ugly, and the environments get repetetive quickly.
However not all is bad gameplay wise in .hack, no there is plenty of good. One of the interesting aspects is the ability to trade with other Player Characters like you can in a real online game. Also the writing for the dialogue is well done and at times pretty funny. Often when you talk to someone to much they will say something in an attempt to end the conversation, which in more than one case is pretty humourous. "I have to go, my supper is burning!" leaves you chuckling not only because it is funny, but also because that is something like what an online gamer hears alot. Also the game comes packed with unlockable items including desktop wall papers and music scores. Also you can keep your saved data and use it in the sequels making it so you can have an advantage off the getgo.
Each one of the games comes packed with a bonus anime DVD, the animation quality is excellent and it really gives you a better understanding of the world that the game takes place in.
For those who like plot first in a game, this series is something you might want to look into investing in, otherwise you might be a little dissapointed.

Best RPG game ever possibly the best game ever |
| Tichan from Coral Springs Florida says (3/Dec/2003): |
DotHack is hands down the best rpg game I have ever played (Yes that includes the Final Fantasy Games). DotHack is amazingly addicting and has a story mode that keeps you up till 6 in the morning playing it just to see whats next. The fighting is perfect and great for people who like to go head on with opponents and people who like to strategize. The only downside in the game is that you cannot create your own character, but hey its a minor detail that is greatly covered up by how awesome the game is. If you haven’t bought the dothack series than you need to stop reading this review now and go pick it up!

better than a healthy smack addiction |
| Sick Boy Method from Rapid City South Dakota says (8/Nov/2003): |
If you are looking for something to get you through the long hard night, and the methadone clinic is closed; start yourself on a regimen of dot hack, but be warned the withdrawls are a pain in the < remove me > at $$. Say goodbye to the final fantastic fight scenes that take an hour to complete, cause this rpg is real time fighting which speeds up the gameplay and yet the storyline doesn't suffer as a result. A game within a game within a helluva addiction. So if you are jonesing for a new plot with a unique twist, don't wait for FF-X2, wrap a belt around your arm and prepare for a hard dose of "The World" and the secrets it keeps

from a 12 year old girl |
| A gamer from Fairport,Ny USA says (2/Nov/2003): |
I relly think this game is the bomb!!!! It has a really good story and deserves 10 stars.The characters you can really relate to beacause everyone has a differnt personality. I'm young but I'm good at games and I was so attatched to this game I beat it in three days.
|
Finnally a game wroth 10 stars! |
| some guy from Denver,USA says (6/Oct/2003): |
This game is a pice of art. Some how, they should've made this game two players. for example, if you have a lot of party members out, your friend could play as one of them since they have good helling pottions. But Yor party members don't have nothhing to trade for except for speed charms. I played this game for like two months in half now and I already gotten to the Thelta server where there are stronger enimes and grunty's! the gruntys are so darn cuuuuuuute!!!! too bad they can't battle for you. Myabe in the next versions they can battel for you. Iron gunty attack! All in all this The best game we own.Also Your partneres can level up on thier own. Somtimes you have to go on sollo missions. here's all myparty members: Black Rose (She's my second partner.) Orca(He got data drained aand in a comma so he dosn't help out much) Mistral(Has some good magic) , Prios (Has a lot of Act pionts and can do Brandish) , Elk ( He's the best spell caster in the group. he has 70 SP at lv. 13 and I have 55 SP at LV.15.) Mia(Only cares about the ring , cold but has good phsicall skills like cracks beat.)Sanjo.

Its a nice game, but I hav played better. |
| Ben L, Frantz II from Barrow, AK U.S.A. says (6/Oct/2003): |
Yeah, dot hack, when you played all of them, is a pretty good game, the thinmg that got me into it was the fact that you can go on from where you left off on the last game. The graphics and the game play was cool to, but I have played better.
