.Hack//Infection is the first of a series of four games, titled .hack//Infection, .hack//Mutation, .hack//Outbreak, and .hack//Quarantine, features a "game within a game"; a fictional massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) called The World which does not require the player to connect to the Internet. Players may transfer their characters and data between games in the series. Each game comes with an extra DVD containing an episode of .hack//Liminality, the accompanying original video animation series which details fictional events that occur concurrently with the games. The games are part of a multimedia franchise called Project .hack which explores the mysterious origins of The World. Set after the events of the anime series .hack//Sign, the games focus on a player named Kite and his quest to discover why some users have become comatose as a result of playing The World. The search evolves into a deeper investigation of The World and its effects on the stability of the Internet. Read less

I played this back when it first came out on the PS2 and quickly dropped it, despite being a big fan of the .hack//SIGN show back in the day. Revisiting it today was a lot more fun than I thought it would be and I was pleasantly surprised. I wouldn't call it a great game, but I got oddly addicted to it. The story is compelling and the game balances the virtual world with checking your Email, the news, etc. The ending was lackluster, but it's definitely a tease to get you to immediately play MUTATION, which is next on my list.

Definitely a Game Of Concept and Feel, Not Gameplay

Not doing a proper review as I spread the experience out too far to feel like I can accurately review it, but if I was being objective I'd probably give it a 7/10 with a subjective 8/10 based largely on the anime hooking me in and knowing what is to come.

ただの始まりです。

このゲームは雰囲気がすごく曖昧で不思議だと思う。そんな感じが好き。

ドットハックのダンジョンはつまらなそうけど、なんか僕の場合は、楽しかった。胃に易い食べ物みたい。キャラクターは普通な人だから、日常会話が勉強できる。それは、良かった。僕は日本語がまだ下手だけど、「.hack//感染拡大」がわかり易い。
