 Phantasy Star Online - Review
When played alone, Phantasy Star Online is an excessively challenging Action/RPG with a story that progresses a small piece at a time by way of a huge series of engrossing side quests.
Not only does it offer the sheer novelty of cooperative online play on a console, and three unique classes to try, but there are also higher levels of difficulty for the daring to attempt, more types of weapons to discover, and an option to download new side quests for future adventuring.
Those looking for an RPG by the makers of Phantasy Star featuring a strong story and well developed characters should pass on this and pick up a copy of Skies of Arcadia.

Sonic Team has done a commendable job of translating the Phantasy Star world into 3D and, of course, overlaying it with the graphical and sound quality that has made them one of the Dreamcast’s most prestigious development houses.
PSO’s online mode is the game’s pride and joy, and also its biggest source of headaches.

Even with its shallow storyline and camera issues, Phantasy Star Online simply manages to be a whole lot of fun.
While the rest of the Phantasy Star series is a collection of fairly standard RPGs, PSO takes an entirely different route.
PSO takes most of its cues from Diablo, running in real time and relying on your ability to hit the attack buttons in a rhythmic fashion to perform basic attack combos.

 Phantasy Star Online -- DC -- Four Stars
It feels poetic that SEGA was able to produce one final Phantasy Star on its own hardware, bringing the revolution it had helped start to the next level with online game play, and making Phantasy Star Online one of the coolest games on the Dreamcast.
Phantasy Star Online quickly breaks itself from the traditional storyline of the original games and follows a looser strain, appearing to take place after the last game, but this is never set in stone and is left up to ambiguity.
If you’re a hard-core Phantasy Star fan then this game will have a hard time competing with your nostalgia; however, some of the elements are there from the old games: organics, technology, some teleportation to other places, hunters, and a seemingly high-tech civilization.

 Amazon.co.uk: Phantasy Star Online: PC & Video Games   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Because of the number of players and the non-linear structure that is the focus of online gaming, the difference between PSO and, say, Skies of Arcadia is a rather large gap filled with plenty of monster-killing and the odd offhand reference to PS series staples like Dark Falz and Monomates.
Also, besides the fun hijinks of online, the real point of PSO is to beef up your character enough to take on all three difficulty levels of the offline quests (Normal, Hard and Very Hard) to receive the game's "real" ending.
Phantasy Star Online continues in the tradition of the popular series and is the first world-wide, online role-playing game for a console.

 Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II for Xbox Review - Xbox Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Review
Thanks to the Xbox Live service, Phantasy Star Online Episode I and II supports voice communication, making it incredibly easy to chat with other players in the lobby or devise strategies with three other players in an online game while plowing through the game's many dungeons.
Phantasy Star Online Episode I and II offers the same three character classes as the original game: hunter, ranger, and force.
The characters in Phantasy Star Online Episode I and II are pretty well balanced, which encourages you to have a healthy mix of classes in your online party or in the offline split-screen multiplayer mode--at least during boss battles and in the later stages of the game.

Playing online has two core aspects: simply connecting and hanging around in a lobby, and then creating or joining a game and whacking a few monsters.
As you no doubt have deduced, Phantasy Star Online is not limited exclusively to online play; you can play the game offline, as a standalone single-player game.

Pity the poor Dreamcast--it was playing host to online games while the PS2 was still a twinkle in Sony's eye, and its early demise took with it a host of seminal titles, not least of which was Phantasy Star Online.
Like many of the best multi-player games PSO is pretty dull in single-player mode and despite the huge number of missions the repetitive combat and lack of interaction with your environment does begin to grate.
However, although the online play is free for the first 30 days, a monthly fee is charged thereafter.

 IGN: Phantasy Star Online Review
Well, that's how big Phantasy Star Online is, as it becomes the first real-time, online multi-player, console game in video game history.
And having played PSO through a countless number of sleepless nights, with several different players online, and even through all the hardships I've encountered when playing PSO, I find myself STILL playing this game and I will definitely be playing PSO for many months to come.
But whether you play it online or offline, the spectacular visuals remain the same, and I have to say that this is one of the finest looking DC games.
