    If you’re only going to play one game in this franchise, .hack//QUARANTINE is the one to get. A powerful plot (including the series’ conclusion) and access to most of the gameplay from the prior three games makes it the definitive title in the series.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the four games, primarily for the riveting and alarming story about characters to which I became attached, and absorbing gameplay.

    When all is said and done --and despite its four-game/$200 price tag -- we found the long-time investment definitely worth it; we just hope that Bandai (and anyone else for that matter) ever decide to try it again.

    Despite .hack's inarguable flaws (it's repetitive, kinda ugly, and...er, really repetitive), the game remains one of the freshest concepts of this console generation. [Jan 2004, p.132]

    But if you are a fan, you’ll find that Quarantine ups the ante on battle and quest difficulty, sometimes maddeningly so, and finally ties up enough loose plot ends to satisfy.

    In every way (except graphics, AI and sound…I’m looking at you Bandai), .hack//Quarantine is the best .hack game. The plot keeps you very into the story, and the ending movie is one of the best FMVs out there.

    Hopefully, down the line, someone else can give us a similarly high-concept RPG with a little more meat on its bones. [Feb 2004, p.103]

    I would have personally liked to have seen the game go out with more of a bang… at least in some changes to the overall mechanics and game engine, but I suppose that in some way we need to respect the fact that it was really all about the story.

    This game I think is beautiful. The story and characters are well done and the music is pretty good. I think the dungeon design should change This game I think is beautiful.
