Has anyone played the .hack series for PS2? Great concept, creating a MMORPG environment in a single player game. I'm disappointed with the combat style though. I was hoping for more of a Chrono Cross/Final Fantasy turn based setting. Instead its a real time hack and slash but base the damage on character stats and dice rolls. You still get all that magic casting and summoning appeal. The camera isn't fixed but is player controlled. It blows. So many times an enemy runs behind me and it takes me forever to turn and look in that direction to target them.
I started with .hack//Outbreak which is the 3rd installation of the game. I read I should go back and play the first two since you can bring all the items and character levels that you gain with you into the 3rd game. I also read you miss out a lot on the storyline and won't get anything out of the 3rd.
On the plus side each game comes with a 45 min DVD of the anime series. I've only played it for a day and wanted to get some feedback from others that have played it. Post here what you think.
God Bless,
Ron
