Okay the deal (sorry unintentional pun) is this. The graphics and music are much crispier than Ep1&2. The game is rather good but doesnt hook me the way the other PSO do. You see I want to explore and kick ass with realtime go anywhere do anything freedom and adventuring stylee. It took me ages to work out how to play this even though I was a vet of PSO terminology. It was a case of read manual (utterly unhelpful) play tutorial (scratch head) go online (meet other people scratching heads and see japanese high level players and know you will never be that level for ages if at all. I mean where do they get the time to play games? dont they have work/skool/family in japan? personally speaking i struggle to find the time to play games now that i have a job which sux and a family who i love very much). After visiting some websites Im even more baffled. So I play two games offline and two online and start learning the old fashioned way.
