Rating: 8

Time with product: 3 Months

Strengths: Story

Weaknesses: Lack of online gameplay

Summary: .hack//G.U. Volume 2 Reminisce is a continuation of the Volume 1 Rebirth. The game is similar to the first one but in a different story arc. You can take the game save from the first game and use it in volume 2 to unlock upgrades. Graphics and music are both great. There are lots of cut scenes to immerse gamers in the depth of the story. Overall, it's a must have if you enjoy volume 2 and want to continue to explore the journey.

Strengths: Gameplay, story

Weaknesses: None

Summary: .hack//G.U. Reminisce is the second volume in the .hack/G.U. series (there are 3 volumes in total). The game picks up where Volume 1 Rebirth left off. Although the gameplay is very similar and slightly repetitive, the story is the real gem and is really good (which is for you to find out instead of spoiling it for you). If you are a fan of the .hack//G.U. series and/or a fan of the .hack//ROOT anime series, be sure to pick this game up.

Strengths: Great Game, Great Gameplay, Great Storyline.

Weaknesses: None (but i'm a .hack fanatic)

Summary: This game continues what .hack//G.U. Rebirth left off. It has the same type of gameplay and although you would think it would get boring, the game sucks you back in with its great storyline and great gameplay. This is a must have for all .hack fans, and for all of you how have yet to play any .hack games, be sure to play .hack//G.U. Vol 1 Rebirth before you play this one. And if you want to get really familiar with the .hack franchise, go out and buy/play .hack//infection, mutation, outbreak, and quarantine, each game is great.

Weaknesses: n/a

Summary: .hack vol 2 is the 2nd in a series of 3 games following main character Haseo, as he strives for power and the truth. This game is great, and fans of the original .hack series will love it. There is a good amount to do here and much more to do than the main story. Good game overall.
