How SEGA turned its fortunes around and made friends with Nintendo
For gamers old enough to remember the turn of the century, the console landscape looked very different from how it does today. Everyone was excited for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo was getting the GameCube ready to succeed the Nintendo 64. Microsoft's Xbox was also in development...

This game is a 9 out of 10 for sure and that's only because this game can no longer be played online. A true classic! It is also worth mentioning that the worlds in this game are some of the most beautiful you'll ever come across. Don't compare the underwhelming Phantasy Star Universe to this gem. This game deserves a better sequel.
the site says 1 player, but the info says more
it looks nice, is there any problem with it as the online service no longer exists?
maybe i'll buy it, but gotta find a good place where i live to see if i can get it easier than ebay or such
EDIT: i did find out that PSO plus has stuff which the normal one had online-only
There r private servers where u still can play this gem online, just google. and about the info, is wrong, the game can be played with 4 ppl split screen.
I don't see the appeal behind this. The combat is stiff, the controls are horrible, and the grinding is unforgivable. I love the genre, but this is just not worth finishing to me. Maybe it's because I only have the Dreamcast version.
