GameCube owners, stay strong?another online game is coming!
Take a little bit of Pok?mon, a little bit of chess, and a little bit of online support, and you wind up with this unusual extension of Sega?s popular Phantasy Star Online franchise. Instead of engaging in a traditional RPG, players pick up where PSO I&II left off and play cards in turn-based melee matches similar to Magic: The Gathering. Every player must choose to support the Hero or Dark sides, and the game supports four-player team battles online. The early playable version?s techno and overdramatic piano soundtrack didn?t thrill, but play was fairly logical; anybody who?s into the collectible-card-game genre should be able to slip into the gameplay easily. RPG fans looking for something traditional might be disappointed, but if you?re looking for Internet gaming on the ?Cube, what other options do you have?
