Review

Three worlds, two modes, one adventure

Oct 31, 2006

The universe of Phantasy Star has always been a unique one. Its refreshing sci-fi style breaks the swords 'n' sorcery RPG mold. Phantasy Star Online's networked approach was highly addictive and gave fans a reason to fall in love with the series all over again. But, no matter how stunning Phantasy Star Online was, gamers love single-player, story-driven RPGs. The intended solution was Phantasy Star Universe, which promised to contain both fully-realized story and online modes, to give fans ...

Phantasy Star Universe

Three planets lead to countless adventures in Sega's long-awaited follow-up to Phantasy Star Online

Sep 8, 2006

Welcome back to our continuing coverage of Phantasy Star Universe. Lots has come to light since last week, so let's jump right in. For starters, we've finally gotten a good sense of the game's three planets, Parum, Neudaiz and Moatoob, and each has its own very unique look and feel. Parum is the first one you'll visit, and it's your typical lush, green paradise. Oddly, however, it's ruled by the Cast race, androids that helped restore the planet after past conflicts and who often harbor ... » Read Full Phantasy Star Universe preview

Create your own hero (and gape at the graphics) in Sega's awesomely detailed new online RPG

Aug 30, 2006

Our Phantasy Star Universe adventures continue, and we've got a whole lot more to reveal. Last week we delved into the revamped single-player adventure and the fast-paced new combat system, so check that if you missed out. This time we're all about the excellent graphics and detailed character customization. As any online RPGer will tell you, the ability to customize your own character can make or break a game. You don't want your avatar to look like everyone elses'; you want to be a unique ... » Read Full Phantasy Star Universe preview
