starzafandomblogTitle: .hack/Mutation
Rating: T - PG-13
Genre: RPG
Graphics: 8/10 - It's not up to PS2 standards, like FF10, but it does leave you in awe, and the artwork is just beautiful. :D There's no glitches in the game graphics that I've seen.
Plot: 6/10 - Why so low? Because this is really just a PART of 4 stories. It leaves off you wanting more, and I HATE when games do that. This is the bad thing about releasing a game in parts. I'm not going to spoil it, but it basically continues where infection left off.
Music/sound: 8/10 - Shinichiro Miki gets a small part in .hack. *Swoons* *_* He plays Krim in .hack/sign and they brought him back here to play a minor part in the game. :D Anyways, the voice acting is top notch. The dub could be a bit better. What I didn't like is that for the .hack/sign flashbacks (Yes, be CAREFUL for .hack/sign spoilers in the game), there's no subtitles? Wdf? If you're playing the game with the jap voices, you NEED the subtitles if you wanna know what the flock is going on. Did they forget them or something!? Music is fairly good, some tunes are memorable, some aren't though. So it's pretty so-so. :X
Gameplay: 8/10 - This is where the game shines. I love the gameplay in the .hack series. It's typical RPG play but with a mix of action/adventure. If you played infection, the gameplay doesn't change from there and it's easy to get adjusted to.
Overall: 7.5/10 - Overall, it's a great game, but it's much too short. You'll beat it in about 10 hours. I clocked in 27 from playing both infection and mutation, and I clocked 12 hours in infection. It took me over 10 hours from doing side quests and exploring dugeons.
I would recommend it, but I would say play infection first, as so you'll know what the hell is going on, otherwise, you'll be confused.
