Pac-Man World Rally hands-on
PS2 Preview | Pac-Man World Rally
As we sat down to play Mario Ka- oh, excuse us, Pac-Man World Rally, our first thoughts were primarily ones unfit to print. Does the world need yet another item-launching, power-sliding kart racer that exists solely to get its licensed mascot more air time? The answer is no, but there are enough ideas taken from the source games to make each lap in the Pac-world marginally different from every other game like this. There are several types of buttons scattered throughout each heavily themed ...

E3 06: Pac-Man World Rally hands-on
PS2 Preview | Pac-Man World Rally
It seems to be a rite of passage that every cartoon-y, platform-y game character must eventually star in a kart racing game. This summer, one of the earliest arcade stars - Pac-Man, one of few modern game characters who can remember when Mario was a rookie - gets his turn behind the wheel. He's not alone - there are at least 15 characters in all, including the fire-breathing dragon Fygar from Namco's arcade classic Dig-Dug and a certain roll-headed prince from a more modern hit, Katamari ...

Pac-Man World Rally
PS2 Preview | Pac-Man World Rally
Well, if it took until 2006 for Sonic the Hedgehog to get a tricked-out snowboarding game, Pac-Man might as well get a go-kart racer too. Pac-Man World Rally is still a few months away, but it has all the hallmarks of a potentially capable Mario Kart clone. By now, you know what's up. Pick a mascot character (this time from the land of Namco) and power-slide him/her/it through winding, outlandish courses that could never really exist. In addition to obvious stars Pac- and Mrs. Pac-Man, you'll ...

Phantasy Star Universe
PS2 Preview | Phantasy Star Universe
Thursday 5 October 2006 With Phantasy Star Universe heading for a November launch, we've had the chance to take a tour of the online action. As any fan is aware - and if you aren't a fan, now you know - multiplayer is where Phantasy Star Online really shined and the same seems to be true of PSU. Your adventure begins with character creation and there are more options than ever. Outside of your sex and build, most of these can be changed later at various shops. Unlike PSO character data is ...

Phantasy Star Universe is mere weeks away from launch, and today we took a tour of the online action.

If you'd like extensive details on single-player, check out our recent previews. Otherwise, come take a tour of Sega's online universe. Your adventure begins with character creation, and there are more options than ever. Outside of your ...

Phantasy Star Universe
PS2 Preview | Phantasy Star Universe
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 ...

Phantasy Star Universe
PS2 Preview | Phantasy Star Universe
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 ...

PS2 Preview | Phantasy Star Universe
It's been a long time coming, but the first true sequel to the best online RPG to ever hit a console is finally nearing completion. Sorry, EverQuest Online Adventures, we're talking about the classic Phantasy Star Online and its soon-to-be follow-up, Phantasy Star Universe. Sega was recently kind enough to drop by with the latest versions for PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360, so we'll be sharing all of the juicy details in the coming weeks. While the preview copies are currently limited to offline ...

E3 06: Phantasy Star Universe
PS2 Preview | Phantasy Star Universe
Sega's last console, the Dreamcast, has been dead and buried for almost five years now. One series that absolutely refuses to die with it, however, is its online version of RPG classic Phantasy Star. The game has hopped from Dreamcast to GameCube to Xbox, never quite catching the mainstream MMO appeal. Phantasy Star Universe hopes to change that by offering a planet-spanning single-player game in addition to the limitless, online dungeon crawling. The series began as a traditional, solo RPG, ...

Phantasy Star Universe
PS2 Preview | Phantasy Star Universe
Where are our online RPGs? Despite the Final Fantasy name, the slow-paced FFXI draws more snores than fans, while EverQuest Online Adventures proved the series didn't translate to the PS2. Fortunately, Sega's star developer, Sonic Team, has a very different idea. Phantasy Star Universe offers a full-fledged offline quest that rivals a traditional Final Fantasy in length. On top of (or instead of) this, you can choose to play the game online with five cohorts. While most online RPGs present ...
