  1. A marvelous game, and the fact that it's not really changed on the Xbox is irrelevant. [June 2003, p.67]

    If you can get past the pay-per-month boundry, you'll find yourself enjoying one of the finest online experiences you can play.

    Voice communication is what makes PSO addicting all over again, despite its lack of enhancements.
  4. For newbies, this is still a great game, but for veterans of previous iterations, there's no reason to switch. [July 2003, p.75]

    This is one of the best games i have ever played! i played it for the gamecube first with my friends and got addicted, i was over there 24/7, then i got it for xbox and played online.....i didn't eat for days.....no sleep...almost died...but who cares! it was all worth it, even with the hacks and mods people do it is still probally the best game ever. Awesome weapons and character creation, the battle system is really cool and the graphics are pretty good, i suggest you buy this game...in fact, by 3 of them in case a cd breaks or something :) Expand
