Game Summary:
Phantasy Star Universe (ファンタシースターユニバース Fantashī Sutā Yunibāsu) (PSU) is an action roleplaying game by Sega’s Sonic Team for the PC, PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360. In Japan, it was released for the PC and PlayStation 2 on August 31, 2006, with the Xbox 360 version releasing on December 12, 2006. Its North American release was on October 24, 2006, available in all formats. The European release date was November 24. The initial unveiling of the game was at E3 2004, with subsequent showing at the next E3, and then again at TGS 2005. A closed beta stress test for the servers took place between April and May 2006.
While Phantasy Star Universe is a hack and slash roleplaying game similar to the Phantasy Star Online (PSO) games, it takes place in a (presumably) different time period and location and has many new features. Like most of the PSO titles, PSU is playable in both a persistent online network mode and a full featured single-player story mode.
Reception
Erik Brudvig of IGN gave Phantasy Star Universe a passable score of 6.4 out of 10, saying ”The result is an unsatisfying and stale experience that feels like an update to an old game that has had its day rather than a new title.” James Mielke of 1up gave an average rating of ”B+” gave the game a 68 out of 100.
