Summary
Continuing where the second installment left off, in .hack//G.U. Vol. 3: Redemption Haseo discovers that old enemies have returned and some friends have turned against him. And with the mysterious evil that once lurked only within the confines of the MMO now causing havoc in the real world, Haseo and his friends must overcome impending doom and restore balance to both realities. In .hack//G.U. Vol. 3: Redemption, players can utilize an enhanced battle system in which both Haseo and his Avatar Skeith will evolve into new forms to utilize more powerful attacks. Haseo can also obtain a new Awakening mode to deliver extreme damage to enemies. Having so much more power isn’t fun if you can’t share it! Players can now choose from 22 unique characters to join Haseo's party, explore two new towns, and conquer two new dungeons. With new enemies, more steam bike parts and steam bike missions, new cards for the popular Crimson VS card battle game, and the final tier of the Arena Battles, players won’t want to log out of .hack//G.U. Vol. 3: Redemption. [Namco Bandai Games]

It's games like these and "Persona 3"--and not hyper-bugeted blockbusters like "Final Fantasy"--that give me hope for the future of the genre. [Sept 2007, p.75]
RPG Fan
Due to the unique events that take place in this volume, as well as the great post-endgame quests, I do consider Vol.3 the best in the series, though I also enjoyed Vol.2 a great deal.

The recap does a splendid job, but it's no replacement for the experience of the full universe.

This series is quite possibly the biggest surprise of the PS2’s final years.

Redemption may not be the best of the best, but it has the markings of one of the strongest story driven RPGs out there. If you have been a fan from the beginning or one that was sucked in recently, Redemption will deliver on many of your expectations.

Really radsauce gameplay. [Nov 2007, p.88]

This is the final chapter in the .hack//G.U. series. If you're a BIG fan, you won't be disappointed. But if you are new to the series, vol. 3 will leave you stranded in what you're supposed to do in the game.

Disappointing and uneventful, .hack//G.U. Vol. 3: Redemption wasn’t the last chapter I had envisioned for the series.

It may take a bit of imagination and willingness to suspend belief on your part but the premise is fresh and that's worth a lot these days.

If you're a longtime fan, Redemption simply gives you more of what you want with no radical changes -- so in that regard, aficionados will likely be satisfied. Generally speaking, .hack has a neat idea, but the games just can't quite balance the concept with an action-RPG play style.
Read Full Review >IGN
The graphics are solid, the music is wonderful, and the battle system is much improved. Unfortunately it has too much recycling of dungeons and events, not enough online gameplay, and comes off more as an interactive anime series than a video game series.
Read Full Review >Gaming Age
If you've already played, and enjoyed the .hack series, particularly G.U. (which is the better and more polished of the two), than you'll most likely enjoy this. Everything from a plot standpoint is wrapped up nicely, there's no real loose thread to mention, and you shouldn't be disappointed.
Read Full Review >GameSpy
For most gamers, there are just too many other RPGs out for the PS2 to justify picking up something as routine, and routinely mediocre, as the final edition of .hack.
Read Full Review >Game Revolution
Where an ordinary RPG would give you 60-100 hours in a single release, this game forces you to buy one-third of a game at full price. Once you shell out for all three games, you’ve bought a full-length RPG at triple the typical cost. And, much like the .hack tetrology that preceded it, each game in the trilogy is exactly like the others.

I'm too tired to write a full review on this game right now, but in a nutshell a great sequel to a great story. I'm glad I bought the trilogy. It was well worth my time and money. I loved the game and the job classes you ge throughout the trilogy are awesome. I would like to say if you like RPG's especially MMORPG's buy the trilogy. You won't be disappointed.
