When Phantasy Star Online hit on the Dreamcast it became an instant hit and one of the greatest selling games the Dreamcast had next to Soul Calibur. It was a huge MMORPG where thousands of players went online to work together in 4 great levels of action gameplay. Also, with the arrival of the expansion version 2, people could now battle each other in PK fights and even play a little soccer while waiting in the lobby for a new game to begin. The game was great and now that greatness returns with the new Gamecube version. This one brings together the classic Episode I, along with the new Episode II. This package promises everything the original had, but with new weapons, items, worlds, and more.
Graphically, it is basically the same thing you would expect from the original version. Character models are done well except no real interaction with your character really....The action of the character follow through well though, and there are many types of designs for all 12 character models. As you can change Hair, Body, Proportions, and of course your name. The environments are rich and beautiful for the outside levels like forest and caves, but mines and ruins are repetitive but it doesn't distract from the gameplay at all. The GC version also have excellent effects such as heat waves, fog, and nice water waves and shadowing. The enemies and bosses are great as well and the introduction is mysterious and interesting. All in all great but nothing groundbreaking.
The sound is a recollection of all the music from the dreamcast version with some slow paced and fast paced techno music and symphony music. Even some music from the original Phantasy Star series has been included in Episode II. The music and sound effects for each level are quite fitting, except for some enemies that are very annoying when they are attacked such as the little penguin like Rag Rappy or the massive Pan-Arms. However, the sound department does its job in pulling you into this game.
Now we get to the department that makes this game totally worthwhile...The story is basically something goes wrong with a ship of people called Pioneer 1 as they venture to the world of Ragol. Also, the animal and technology on Ragol has all turned evil and new powerful creatures have emerged. It is your job as a hunter, force, or ranger to investigate find survivors, unlock evidence, and defeat the beings responsible for the mess. As a ever moving online experience it does just fine. There are 2 modes in the game Episode I and Episode II. Episode I contains basically the same thing as the Dreamcast version. All the old levels are back with their respective bosses and enemies. However, there are new items, weapons, and other things to look forward to as well. The graphics and music have been improved as well in Episode I and provides a better experience. Also, each of the new levels look great and the new enemies and bosses are even cooler with new powers and challenges.
Also, included in the offline mode is now a split screen multiplayer where 2-4 people can engage in a adventure into levels helping each other out or can battle to the death in a PK duel. Problems however plague the offline split screen mode. The graphics have been trimmed down to allow the split screen to work effectively but its nothing too bad, but the split screen for 3-4 players are very small and sometimes its hard to see. Though in the end if you can get by the problems it is a great way to level. Online mode is all you would expect it to be, you can get online by buying the Modem or BBA adapters for 35 bucks at any available retailer. Online lets you go online with people from all over the world. Work together as a team, PK battle, play some soccer, or just relax and exchange guild cards in the lobby. The trading system has been improved incredibly as well. No more dropping on the ground where items could be stolen or people could be deceived. Trade windows are now available for trustful trading actions. Also, as before new quests can be downloaded every holiday season for even more fun along with the other 100+ quests the game has to offer. With new items, character designs, mags, weapons, and levels you can't go wrong. Though the monthly fee is 9 dollars a month its still worth it all the way.
The Replay Value is where this game purely shines. The online gameplay makes this game a dream. Working together, joining guilds, making friends is what its all about in a MMORPG. Also, leveling is a lot of fun as it is a sense of accomplishment and as you level you can use your hard earned items and weapons as you meet their requirements. Tons of quests, weapons, and incredible boss fights make it even better. Also, playing with different characters can be real fun as well. All in all whether online or offline the game is a blast and you can pull easily up to 150 hours in this game. So, get connected and have a great time with one of the best console online RPG's available.

Okay, let's start with this: I literally played for over 5 hours the day that I got this. I played for about 5 yesterday, and 2 with the great splitscreen Multiplayer mode on Friday. WARNING: This game is addicting, fun, and will keep you occupied for hours on end! Heck, the character creation system is fun enough to play for a while! What model head to you want? Clothes? Skin color? Hairdoo? Hair color? Short? Tall? Fat? Skinny? Is the upperbody bigger, or the lower body? What preportions? It's just great. I'm giving it 5 stars, and I haven't even gotten online yet!
