.hack//MUTATION (Part 2) (PlayStation 2, 2003)

If you have played the version volume, you have played the second, the third, and even the fourth.

This is a sad realization that I figured out after playing the third installment of this game.

The elements are all exactly the same, the bonuses the same, even the story lacks any huge plot twists. Although the game is still fun and it is neat being able to import your character from PART 1, this game still falls terribly short.

In this game and the next even you are able to view videos ( basic gameplay movies ) from the previous games. If you look closely they are exactly the same thing, and you can still go to all the old dungeons. This means very simply that ALL 4 of these games could have been combined into one SEEMINGLY amazing game. However in order to make mass profit they decided to split the game into 4 and sell them for super high prices. This is a sad fact and it really ruins the series in my opinion.

If you enjoy the first one, then do that, enjoy it, but Don't waste your money on this Part or the next 2, because ultimately you would be doing exactly that ... wasting your cash money.
