.hack and .slash forever Oct 02, 2007
By Marc Ruby™
"The Noh Hare™"
With seven games to this series, and an inexhaustible supple of anime, film, toys, etc., the Dot Hack series has reached the heights of longevity shared by very few RPG's. Final Fantasy is the undeniable owner of the title, both in terms of number of episodes and sheer quality, but Dot Hack will always be a contender. And more to the point, a lot of fun as well. The premise of these games is that a multi-player online fantasy game can become larger than life and that threats within the game can endanger the real world. The first 4 games in this series were based on Kite, a young player who finds himself caught up in the game beneath the game. This set of games established the basic pattern - basically a dungeon game with a number of sidequests,
This second series - 'G.U.' - continues this pattern, this time centered on a new set of characters led by Haseo. Haseo, seeking vengeance for the loss of his girlfriend as become an avid killer of player killers whose nickname is 'The Terror of Death.' One of the things that make the three 'G.U.' an improvement over the original games is the strong element of character depth and development. Haseo starts out unlikable and, as the conflict with the viral AIDA develops, becomes more the responsible leader and hero and less the bitter killer. By the end of the game there are some twenty characters that Haseo can team with, oppose AIDA with, or even propose to.
Along with the quality of character the storyline has become more detailed and logical. And the character enemies have become more interesting as well. This last stanza carefully ties many of the threads together. The game uses the interactions in the game, in addition to resources in the computer interface such as emails and discussion groups, to drive the plot forward. In fact, one of the most noticeable flaws in the game is that faithfully reading your emails will drive the story forward faster than you want to go. Of course, this is one of the few games that will let you play all the sidequests after the main story completes but I found this a bit unsatisfactory. But there is a lot of gameplay here in any case.
The game offers a considerable number of sidequests and internal games to keep anyone happy. There's a fight card game where you can go on quests for special cards and challenge other players. There's motorcycle races and arena fights. All of this in addition to the find every one thing or another quests. There is a enough game time here to play until you are senseless. Since this is the last in a long series most of you know what to expect and I promise you that that is exactly what you will get. If you are new to the series I suggest you track down at least the previous two games if you want to understand the plot and the characters.
Now, what should I do until .hack starts up once again?

Wow Sep 12, 2007
By C. Ragan
"DotHacker"
Honestly, I can't believe this series is over. It saddens me deeply to know that it has come to an end. The game itself is great. It's not disappointed me at all and I give it five out of five on both scales and I would recommend this game to ANYONE I see. I have played .hack from the very beginning with .hack//Infection and I must say that it only continues to get better. The .hack//G.U. games bring back some of the quirks and qualities of the original four but it adds its own flare with side quests, bike quests, arena battles and affection levels for your partners. This is really one of the only games that I have ever wanted to complete. With the original four .hack games I would get frustrated with how much everything in each game repeated itself. They seemed to drag on within the game. The .hack//G.U. fixes these problems very well and continues the excitement from the beginning to the end. The graphics continue to get better and the levels aren't the only things that are advancing with the characters. Haseo's Xth form finally shows itself in this game providing new weapons and new attacks. With Haseo's Xth form also comes new opponents and a new arena to battle in. New quests will pop up in the quest shop and another opportunity to save "The World" comes with it all. I hope this game will do very well in America so that another .hack series will be created and sent to us soon.

:( Why is it over? Sep 14, 2007
By K. Allen
It's rare for a game to keep me interested until the end, it's equally as rare for games to surprise me with its story--.hack has done all of the above. //Redemption is an amazing game and a worthy sucessor to the previous volumes. Despite it being a sequel, it's stand-alone-worthy plot would be interesting for anyone to play. The battle system, as well as the overall design of the game is among the most unique out there. The game is fun, addictive, and you get attached to it so quickly. I bought the first volume without knowledge of any of the other games or series', and it quickly grew to be one of my most favorite games of all times. It's a true masterpiece, down to every detail. Everyone needs to play this game. The only negative thing I can say about this game is that it's the last of the series, and I hate to see it end.

Vol. 3 produces smashing finale. Sep 12, 2007
By Scarab
"Scarab"
.hack//G.U. Vol. 3 Redemption is part 3 of a 3 part game series in the .hack conglomerate. The story follows Haseo, the main protagonist, in his struggles to save "The World," an online game which has mysterious connections to the real world, along with the many "Lost Ones."
The gameplay is utterly fantastic. With real-time RPG style fighting, Redemption promises to provide many hours of intriguing game play. Haseo's Xth form also provides a new twist to fighting, providing long-range attacks, dashing, and double Skill Triggers. Another element added in Redemption is the Avatar Awakening, where Haseo utilizes the strength of his Avatar to Data Drain his enemies.
There were a few things that bothered me, but weren't really a big deal. For one Atoli's voice isn't consistent with the preceding games, which is not a big deal, but was strange to get used to. I also notice some bad lip syncing with the voice overs, mainly when Haseo summons Skeith saying "I'm right here." Aside from those two little pet peeves, this turned out to be an incredible game which reached my expectations and was worth the wait.
I would recommend this game only if Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 were previously played.

 Incredibly fun game from a series that flew under the radar. Oct 03, 2007
By M. A Jenkins
"southerndudeman"
The first .hack series garnered more press than it deserved. Indeed, while the premise was very interesting, ultimately, the games were ridiculously short, and the sideparts were either far too short or incredibly boring (like the item collection at the end of volume 4).
Bandai must have heard the criticisms, because this three-game series sported games which clocked in at 50+ hours, with very nice (if repetitive) quests, an interesting story and lead character, and a fun experience all around. Volume 3, though, takes the cake.
I won't spoil the storyline, but I think it's a well-crafted ending for this trilogy. We meet new characters (lots of them, in fact!), save "The World," and again engage in sidequests. While some of them are indeed repetitive (such as the mecha grunty quest), there are some great payoffs (such as a mecha grunty side story). Moreover, the marriage ending is one of the funniest and best endings to a game ever (and yes, Haseo can get in touch with his inner woman, and marry Endrance should you choose). There is a 100 floor dungeon (the so-called "Forest of Pain"), together with secret items galore. I am sad that many of the new items won't get their just due - it would have been nice for Bandai to release a ".hack: G.U. Epilogue" just to see how these uber-weapons and super armors would play against tough foes. But all in all, I was very impressed with this series.
I dropped the game one star because some of the sidequests were just TOO repetitive, and also because I can't figure out how to get my favorite song "We are the Grunties!" to play during bike races. But in all seriousness, this is a well-crafted game, and deserving of the forty bucks it costs.
