[PS2] .Hack Games

Heya,

I'm an anime and RPG fan... and someone told me that perhaps I should look into the .hack games... I asked him if they were good - he said they were different (not sure what that means but sounds neat)

So that caught my interest... now I'm looking and I see XXXXXXX games out there and I'm confused!!!! Can someone actually list them in order of story or whatever way works that can possibly sort/organize it... I'm guessing some are linked

Also how would you rate this game? Story-wise, character-wise, length of games... are there voice overs etc?

I see ratings that are decent but ones that are like around 5-6 (which is low) ranked on gamespot. Anywayz I'm gonna start looking into places where I can find this game.... not keeping my fingers crossed as it does seem like a pretty old series (doubt I'll find it easily).

They look weird like a action-rpg type of game... never watched the anime related to it either. I'm interested in what people who played it have to say.

Thanks

Jam it back in, in the dark.
