So, I've been playing Phantasy Star Universe (PSU) on the 360 since it's launch and it's a great online game that doesn't rape your soul away. It combines the best of Diablo-style games and MMOs into one. It pales in comparison to it predecessor Phantasy Star Online (PSO) but what can you do? I like games where you are always looking out for the next best thing to equip like PSO, however this game is nothing like PSO. Most equips (weapons and armor) need to be made. I REALLY like crafting systems in MMOs but Sega dropped the ball because PSU is NOT an MMO... What results is a clusterfuck of people who all have decent equipment or those whom have WAY too much time on their hands who run around with the same "rare" items EVERYONE ELSE with too much time has. Anyways, I DO like the game, it's faster than an MMO and my attention span appreciates that, plus with the right people it can be alot of fun... Speaking of which I really wasn't playing it for quite a while, but then my brother joined me. It got better... I'm not a very social person and don't care to play games with people I've never shared a room with in teh RLz. (LAME) My sister and her boyfriend recently joined us and it got way better... We all spend about 2 hours or so a night killing shit and generally giving my brother a hard time. (God bless the spazz.) I encourage those with a 360 to give PSU a shot. It's fun and with the right people the hours fly by. AMAZON LINKIES!
