It probably didn't sell too well here, I mean when Gamespot bashed it like the way they did with the previous .hack series, people (those who aren't .hack fans) will probably just avoid it since it's a mediocore game.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ever since Infection, Gamespot never gave .hack series above a score of 7... For G.U. they pretty much said how the game is the same old repetitive system with slight improvements on graphics, and the same crappy storyline that get you no where... I know it's a short game, but it doesn't deserved to be bashed like this.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Honestly, it seems like everyone kinda worked together to screw over Rebirth's US release.

IGN... I don't know about others, but about 50% of their reviewers don't even know what they are talking about, if they felt like bashing a game, they just trashed it worthless without even going into much detail on how it sucked, that's why I stoped reading their articles a while back. I'm actually glad they didn't review this one.

For some reason, people just like to degrade games that have sequels which appeared to have repetitive systems. Games like Dynasty Warriors never made its day since the beginning of the 4th game on GameSpot or IGN, yet others like FIFA200X constantly received praises for reviewers, despite how little each game has changed overtime.

Wow... nothing above a 7.0 rating? Well, it's not that bad... To tell the truth, you can't really compare it to the Final Fantasy games... (that probably got a 10! ><) However, the story is funny and interesting.

Na... I think Bandai milks on this series, that's why they divided it into 3 DVDs, it could've been made into just 1 disc. However, the Japanese are pleased with what they get, Famitsu gave volume 2 a 32/40. Not like the scores mean anything to me, but I believe it reflects on how eastern and western reviewers look at games such as this.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
