The .hack series continues to amaze. I rarely commit myself to a series but .hack stands above most others. I have invested in the games, anime DVDs, books, and manga. I consider all a wise investment. .hack//G.U. Vol.2//Reminisce continues the great legacy. The G.U. games improved upon many elements from the previous four games and Vol.2 takes it a step further over Vol.1. Changing weapons on the fly, a new awakening skill, customizable steam bike, etc. It's all goes towards a fantastic game that will keep you begging for more until Vol.3 is released. The game picks up where Rebirth ended, after one of the series greatest cliffhangers. With the addition of new characters which can be added to the group, the story expands even further. Combat strategy grows more complex with the addition of a new weapon type for Haseo, the main character in the series. Further guild dynamics add more depth to your experience. With all these elements added together, .hack//G.U. Vol.2//Reminisce delivers on every angle, including the storyline. As you find more of the Epitaph Users, what does their fate hold for `The World'? What is AIDA and its connection to certain players? Who is Tri-Edge? What secrets do Ovan hold? Step into `The World' of .hack and experience this unique and engaging series at it's peak.
 Rebooting a Second Time May 9, 2007

The second installment of the G.U. series is out, with all new improvements! Reminisce takes every excellent part of the first game formula and amplifies it. With a deepened storyline, more intense battles thanks to Weapon Change, bike custimization, new missions and areas, you'll find it pretty hard to become bored of this quickly! Even though the game may play short, and looks a tad inferior in the graphics department, it shouldn't cause any second opinons. If you already own the first, nothing should stop you on getting this. If you don't, you are sure to enjoy this game just as much.

.hack//Gu volume 2 Reminisce is simply an amazing role-playing game for the play station 2 and is defiantly one of the systems best games bar none.
While some people complain that Rpgs stories are cliched and overdone but .hack is nether of those with one of the most original and gripping story's I've even seen anywhere let alone a video game. Below is just a small sample of what the game is about.
Something is happening in the online game "the world" that is causing characters to vanish and their players to fall into comas. Artificially intelligent data anomalies or A.I.D.A keep showing up and causing trouble. Is there a connection between these two mysterious? Can anything be done to save the lost ones? Only you Haseo can find the truth.
From Haseo to Atoli to Khun there is a character for everybody to like, heck you'd probally have trouble NOT liking all of them like I do, even the more goofy ones like Prios the third and Gaspard.
If you like rgps and or action adventure games, .hack//Gu Vol 2 is a game you just simple can't miss. In my opinion it's even better then the likes of Kingdom hearts 2 and Final fantasy 12.

.hack//GU volume 2 is much the same fare as .hack//GU volume 1 or even the original game series. You level up, you go on quests and you help your friends all with the ultimate goal of defeating 'AIDA'.
In this it hasn't changed very much.
What has changed is what you learn. Everything is not what it seems--either in the World or with your companions. For anyone who has watched the .hack//roots anime, a sort of prequel to the events of the beginning of the first game, you might understand my meaning better. Friends who were enemies at one time will now be your boon companions, while the people you might have trusted in the past will no longer be so trustworthy.
Controls are the same. Hitting the X button pretty much gets your point across with a smattering of the R1 function and some quick item usage if your 'healer' runs out. With such a straight forward approach you can't go wrong with either new players or old pros at RPG style.
Its a benefit to the player if you start the game at something higher then say level 40 (I began at level 44). I was told that as long as you are past level 30 you should do fine, but if you wish to have that extra jump up, then spend a few more minutes in the first game leveling some more.
What I found most interesting about this second series of .hack games is possibly the interactivity with the rest of the World. There is tons to explore outside of the 'game' itself. Forums--where you can learn new passcodes for new areas, learn hints at Tri-Edge's whereabouts or just find out interesting gossip, the Crimson VS game is interesting and easy to handle. Once you set up your cards the system does the battling automatically while you are playing.
The News and World features are also interesting. Not so much helpful in your quest inside the World it gives the player a better understanding of the world outside of the game (much the same function that the Liminality series gave to the original series of games).
All in all I would greatly recommend this game. It might not be the most polished game, and you'll get frustrated (in you're like me and the stupid Quests...oiy...), but ultimately its worth the hassle.
