 Not much to say. January 9, 2009
I have been playing this off and on since I got it, and anyone who is a fan of this series would enjoy this game. I feel it's a bit of a let down that all the games aren't in the same game, as now I have to shell out for each one in turn, but overall the game is something fun to do, and has yet to get old.

Script is pretty minimal, especially when compared to the story lines of FFX or Suikoden III. Essentially, e-mails or board postings trigger events and supply the code names of playing fields and dungeons. Kite assembles a team of three and goes to each location for information. A fair amount of time is spent leveling up in order to be strong enough to accomplish the next task. To facilitate this, the player can compose his own keywords or even have a playing field generated for him at random. There is room for considerable variation, but the fields aren't really all that imaginative.
Great Game June 2, 2008
This is a great game for any person wanting to start a good RPG, it also has more than one game to finish, allowing you to carry your levels and items from game to game
A Solid New Concept... November 26, 2007
...is what I would have called .hack//INFECTION upon its first being released. 6 games, and countless anime episodes and manga books later, I would still stick with my original decision.
In this game the player assumes the role of Kite, a newbie character in the fictional MMORPG (Short for Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) "The World" set in the "distant" year of 2010. Upon first logging in, Kite is invited by his real life friend, and fellow player of "The World" (known as Orca) to an area to level Kite's character up. I'm not going to ruin too much, but Kite and Orca quickly finds himself face to face with a monster no one has ever seen before.
The monster puts Orca in a coma, and Kite soon meets a mysterious girl named Aura that presents the newbie with a "Braclet" that infuses Kite with unimaginable powers beyond those of any character in "The World".
This game is filled with bold characters, countless areas (Literally there are 1000's of random areas one could invent.) and a unique storyline packed with twists and supprises along the way. Although the story can be a bit dull at times, and the dungeons can get quite tedious, the game is truly a masterpiece, and is worth the time of any gamer with a thirst for adventure.
(It is also my reccomendation that one should play this before diving into the .hack//G.U. series.)
Review on Hack infection September 6, 2007
I think the gane is very good but its going to be hard to levelup.Plus you get a dvd as a bonus when the game/it's about a girl who played a game called the world and she must find out how she got out of a coma but her friend didn't get through the coma.
