Explaining the genius and scarily addictive quality of Phantasy Star Online is tricky indeed, it is something that needs to be played and experienced.
-
100The best console RPG since Squaresoft's "FFVII" on the PlayStation. Get ready for a monster phone bill.
-
100The Bottom Line: Brilliant.
-
100The best online game on the Dreamcast and will likely keep you awake for days straight.
-
96As a single player game there is room for improvement but overall the stellar graphics, excellent sound and added touch of the online multiplayer ability make PSO a must have for any Dreamcast owner. The Joystick is way up.
-
96The lastability of this game is endless. Because this game is so much fun, plus is online, you can be playing this for years to come.
-
The bottom line is that you must have this game. Even though it has a light story, even though it doesn't have much to offer solo players, PSO is a brilliant game--and what's more, it's a promise of amazing things to come in the Dreamcast's final days and in Sega's new future.
-
Insanely fun, strategic combat, a host of interesting missions, more customization than you can shake a photon sword at and top-notch graphics that don't depend on flash to satisfy make this one a no-brainer.
-
93This is among the best games, visually, across all platforms. There's really nothing that compares to the visual quality of PSO.
-
92PSO isn't about the offline experience. It's about taking the game online, which is incredibly fun. The online and offline modes are as different as night and day.
-
91Like the original "Diablo," the game offers an insidiously addictive style that you'll be hard pressed to pull yourself away from.
-
A graphical and technological marvel that offers slick graphics, smooth online play, and groundbreaking communication features. You owe it to yourself to experience it.
-
90One billion points for single handily dragging online RPGs out of a mire of orcs, beards and dreadful graphics. It's repetitive and shallow (kind of) but it's also amazingly beautiful, addictive and - believe it or not - socially rewarding and instructive!
-
90Gorgeous graphics and that hard-to-explain fun factor that emerges from repeated exposure to its better features (which cannot be easily explained unless you've played PSO online yourself).
