If you're a dot.hack fan, Join us for the latest news, pictures & information on the old & new .hack games.dot.hack Infection, the Start of the Game.PlayStation 2 video capture.http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/rpg/hackpart1infection/index.htmlGood review: http://ps2.gamezone.com/gzreviews/r19976.htmOne of the most original games in a long time...Lets face it; the RPG Genre has gotten really stale over the years. It seems like every RPG game that has been released is just a carbon copy of the one released a few months before that with better graphics and a different set of characters. So in comes .hack, its goal is to try to innovate this genre and take it to a new level, by combining both online RPG's and offline ones into one game. Can this combination work out, or is it another failed attempt to innovate this genre? Read on to find out!When the game is loaded for the first time, the character you are playing as creates a character to use on "the world". After that players will sign on to "the world" and meet your real world friend, who is going to teach you how to play the game. While out on your first mission, something devastating happens, your friend gets hurt in the game, and now he is in a coma at a local hospital. It is your goal to find out what caused your friend to become in this dilapidated state. As time goes on you acquire many times such as: "gate hack", "Data Drain", and many other tools and friends that help you along this journey. There are many characters out in the game...The game takes place in a few main areas: main screen, town, fields, and dungeons. When players first load the game, they will be booted up to the welcome screen. Here players have the options to login to the world, check their email, look at the news, and change game options. Once they hit the login to the world, they can either post messages on the forums or go into the actual game. These features are really neat, since it really gives the players the impression that they are really playing an online game. Different characters will email you thoughout the game, and you can even reply to them, but all of the emails are predefined. All of the news is what is currently going on in the game, such as information on new server upgrades and small tips to help the players out. The forums in the game work like real forums...When players actually log into the world they go directly into a town. This will allow them to stock up on supplies and meet new party members. Players can attempt to see if previous party members are online to help them out in their quest. When players have somewhere to go, they input the keywords, and they are transported to a playing field with a few enemies, and other things scattered throughout the level. Then they can go into a dungeon where rare hidden items that lie dormant, and ripe for the picking.Keywords are the main way to transport to different areas in the game. Making a combination of several keywords will take players to a new region to explore. Players will be able to make their own combinations or use the ones that are predefined to help move along the story. This allows players a great amount of freedom to level up your character; since you will need all the experience you can get for later levels.The combat is really easy for the game. All players have to do is hit the X button to swing your twin swords and strike the enemy. That is the easy part, but that will not get you anywhere. Players will have to use all of their resources at their disposal to become truly victorious in this game. They will have to use all of the skills, items, equipment, and party members in the most effective fashion to win the game, and avoid being killed in battle.Gameplay: 8.8.hack//Infection is extremely fun to play! The combat is exciting, the controls are fluid, and the pace of the game is really good. This game will keep you entertained for hours, the only thing that is sad is that we will have to wait till part two comes out.Graphics: 8.9Sound: 9.0Difficulty: MediumConcept: 10.0Overall: 9.0Official NamcoBandai dot.hack site:http://www.altimitcorp.com.hack ® //Infection™&(c) 2001 NAMCO BANDAI (c) 2001 NAMCO BANDAI GamesInfection is a trademark of NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc.

Crimm Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - You probably saw Mimiru, the female heavy blade that joins Tsukasa in SIGN. BlackRose isn't in SIGN.

dom1996 Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - Please only put things down if you are sure about them. It is not played in Europe.

jammydodger1086 Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - .Hack is still avaliable yes. But your only going to get it preowned and its very rare if that. I used to have all four their great games. Worth being played but not so easy to understand if you havent played from the first part.

preprix Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - This game is released in Europe.Atleast ehre in Sweden we have all four games in this series.Its the G.U games that have'nt been released in Europe.

aaj111 Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - The .Hack series are very hard to obtain, even the new series, GU. I just gave up and decided to mod by PS2 just for this series. Probably the BEST PS2 series ever created. Also, too bad this video isn't in english, but thanks for the upload anyway. Good memories.

krizrockz Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - lol. woooo!!!! i love this game!if uve ever seen the tv series they talk about the epith of twilight.i suggest u watch the tv series.its really awesome and u get more of an understanding

AntiCheaterSquad Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - Geil sogar in der Enlischen Version ist der Anfang Deutsch^^

henritje19 Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - your right this game is original it combines sci-fi and fantast rhe best thing I like is the chaos gate system

XxMexicanmagicxX Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - are the original games better than the G.U. series?

bunnylover28 Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - It depends on what you like in the games. Certain parts of the first series is better, but then again certain parts of the second game are better. I personally prefer the battle system of the second game (it makes it a LOT harder to die) while I don't particularly like the amount of hints they give you. For me, the original series also has a bit more excitement. I get bored pretty easily. The original .hack games are the only ones I can play over and over without getting tired of the same plot.

bunnylover28 Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - Basically, if you play one series, you should DEFINITELY play the other. The original series is i total classic. The only reason they made GU was because the fans loved the originals so much, thousands of people e-mailed them asking them for more games.

bunnylover28 Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - Mimiru and Blackrose are two totally different characters. Mimiru is originally from the .hack//Sign series. She's incorporated in the video games as a treat for the fans of sign. Blackrose is only found in the video games. She was created for the sole purpose of helping Kite defeat uncover all of the mysteries in The World.

KissMeImPunk Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - To be honest, I thought the original was lackluster, going in the same direction.

firekoji Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - nope

dpnick1993 Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - i had all these a few years ago and sold and i wish i hadent =[

caseynotinjapan Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - i wouldn't go that far, it's a good Anime but it did little more than expand on the world
