(More customer reviews)The game itself is fantastic. A wonderful combination of RPG and action.
It has a variety of weapons and outfits to customize your character as you like, all with their own look; wonderful cut scenes and graphics for the overall game. Some of the missions can be a little tedious to do but I don't think it takes away from the overall quality of the game.
The online aspect is also a very good one as well. In theory, that is.
The few times I had the chance to play with other players, it was fast paced and exciting - something you don't get in a lot of online RPGs. However, the player base for the PC/PS2 community is a very, very small one. From what I've heard the Xbox players outnumber PC and PS2 combined. This wouldn't be so much of an issue if you were given the option to interact with the Xbox players as well, however PS2 and PC players are restricted to one server, while Xbox players are restricted to another.
On top of this, customer service is next to non-existent. For an online, pay-to-play game, this is shocking to say the least. I encountered a game stopping bug, and have had a petition requesting help from Sega up for the last month, with absolutely no response whatsoever but for the automated confirmation. Thus I have been unable to continue the main storyline.
Amazing game. Wonderful potential. And a lot of fun... if I could still play it.
If there were any moderators, customer service, or help from the company of any sort, it could have been an amazing game. But right now it's just sitting there, collecting dust.
Watch the Sega site before buying this one. If they ever get their act together, and actually TRY working on this one again, it'd be worth playing. Until then, don't expect more than the main story. And even then, if you're buying the PC based version, be ready for bugs.
