Hi, I played this game for the first time a few years ago and was hooked! This game was the first proper Internet game for the dream cast. There were other games but none really took off like PSO. The online features were brilliant like being able to battle (Ver2 only) fight with friends to upgrade your weapons, level up & creating clans with your friends. Yet there was one major problem! The cheaters! There was a massive flaw with the only feature it was very easy to hack and cheat. This is where the game started on its down slide. This game should of been the making of the dreamcast,and it did keep the dreamcast alive for a while, yet it was its downfall in the end. I heard that they lost nearly a quarter of its profits on the dreamcast consoles just to patch PSO to stop hackers.
In my own mind this was a great game and i would LOVE to see it be re-born on the ps2! with the online feature perfected (no hackers):)if you agree or disagree post it on the message boards:) >From An old pso player Adam Warren A.k.A Nightwalker, ~Fe~ Flame P.s I think the pso servers are down for this game. So you can only play it offline:) So if you want to play it online buy the Game cube Version or the x-Box version
