Phatasy Star Online Blue Burst

Price
8.95 per 28 days 14 day free trial for $1.00 ($1.00 for credit card verification or so they say!)

Graphics
10/10
The scenery is very good! I love the character models although I hate the fact that when you switch armor nothing about your character changes. In the begining there is a character creation screen where every aspect of your characters look can be customized!

Sound
5/10
I hate to say it but the sound is very repetitive in some areas... It gets very annoying after the first 4-5 times you hear it. Battle sound is a very good aspect because its upbeat and will get your adreneline pumping.

Combat System
9/10
The combat system is very tedious... You can combo wich saves alot of time so no button mashing here wich is ok because it keeps you on your feet. 3 hits max combo but its well worth it because the delay without a combo is annoying as well.

Quest System
10/10
Very good stable quest system! Not much to say about it! There are quests for when you play One player and there are quests for when you play in parties.

Party System
1/10
There really is no party system... You have a lobby... You create games wich have up to 4 players and when someone joins your game they are in your party! But you have to hit a monster to gain XP so no leaching!

Overall
8/10
This game takes some getting used to but once you have done that well its easy! The game is a very good game although not as huge as other games because the "Party System" limits the game to 4 players in one game instead of 1000 players on one server! It was well worth the $1 for 14 days although I do not plan to play it after my 14 days are over unfortunetly!

SPECIAL:
Event
Well since I was there during the christmas event I thought I would say something about it!
4/10
I hate to say it but there is not much to the event... All they did was dress up the lobby and the space station and added a monster that if you kill you get special items! In other games there are special quest as well as other stuff!

us cs/rose guys (who now mostly play wow) were in the beta for it, stopped when it went pay-to-play. I must say it is a much better game when you get to play with friends, but the fact that i have 4 controllers plugged into my Gcube and the game sitting in the shelf above it makes it hard to want to pay to play a char when i already have one and can play with sol+riec+whoever else happens to be over.

A good game if you want a break from WoW, especially if your a fan of phantasy star games. Also, unlike most mmorpgs, you are in charge of attacking manually. Every time you hit a button you swing your sword/mace/shoot gun/whatever, time it right and you can make combos. Even though im one of the only ones here who played flyff, kinda like that style of battle=P
