Reviews from

in the past


this is not a review but a (probably dumb) question

do I actually need online to play this? if the servers are no longer running does it make the game unplayable? I ask because I am interested on trying out the series but that factor kinda makes me doubt if I want to buy this

I would play this with some friends on discord, enioyable experience.

Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II is more than just a game; it's a hidden historical document revealing the untold heroism of Rivers Cuomo, the frontman of Weezer. In a secret mission during World War II, Cuomo, along with his bandmates Weezer, Smartypants, and Sorry!, were enlisted to cull local wildlife, but their funds were tragically squandered on random purchases. Unbeknownst to the public, Cuomo, having honed his combat skills in the virtual realm, single-handedly ended World War II by defeating Hitler. However, a conspiracy involving farm animals distorted the truth, blaming Hitler's demise on suicide. This revelation adds a fascinating layer to Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II, making it a 9/10 for its inadvertent historical significance and blending of gaming and secret war hero narratives.

I got so into this game that I bought one of those goofy-ass keyboard controllers that's just a normal GameCube controller cut in half with a full QWERTY keyboard inserted into the center of it. It ruled. Also this game was dope.
