    Sword art online lost song is not for every one. Fans of the Dot Hack series might be a little disappointed upon playing. While it does scratch the itch of its cousin's anime counterpart..Dot hack did it first, and Dot hack did it better. Sword art online lost song feels like a generic rip-off.

    I spent my forty hour adventure in the mix of things. Wondering if the story would get better, wondering if I would fight a new boss, and if this game had any conflict to it what so ever. No......My time spent playing came from the addiction of trying to get better equipment and upping my stats. And while that is a redeeming quality to have in a video game I was at a lost song myself when nothing came full circle at the end and the curtains closed.

    SAO takes place in another game called ALO. I understand that the anime was named from the story started in SAO but if this is non-canon and SAO no longer exists in the anime... why name it that to confuse new players that think they are immersing in another world? That's not what really gets to me though. My biggest pet peeve is the amount of recycled enemies they used. Every world you entered used the same things, even the bosses were all the same just different colors. Towards the end I fought maybe 3 new bosses... go variety.

    Another downside was the very awkward cut scenes between our hero and his friends. Just about every one he knows is in love with him, including his cousin which he calls his sister. The story too is very light hearted. We are in this game, and we want to beat it. That's it folks. Having a small skirmish with another guild is the only heat you are going to feel, until the game comes out of no where with the surprise one of your team mates is dying of AIDs.

    SAO lost song is not a bad game. It's not great either and it does not warrant a 60 price tag. This should have been released as a budget title. The addicting game play, pretty visuals, and uninspired party members is not enough to keep me coming back to ALO    … Expand

    SAO Lost Song önceki oyunların üzerine pek bir şey koymamış. Her zamanki gibi kötü bir hikâyemiz var ve oyunun %80i sıkıcı geçiyor. Ek olarakda skiller pek değişmemiş. Her ne kadar farklı kılıçlarla farklı animasyonlara denk gelsekde sadece ilk başta havalılar. Sonra birbirini hep tekrar ediyor.Bahsedilmeye değer en yeni özellik uçmak.

Kötüledim, kötüledim. Peki iyi yanı var mı? Var. Multiplayer'ı eğlenceli. Eğer benim gibi SAO fanı değilseniz Coop ve PVP bu oyunu katlanabilir kılan iki şey. Yani arkadaşlarınız ile oynamacaksanız ve SAO fanı değilseniz SAKIN almayın.

    +Fly
    +Easy Controls

    -Boring and bad story
    -Almost same skills and repetitive combat.
    -60$

    Finally, if you have a playstation 4, go and buy Fallout 4!    … Expand

    I love SAO, so perhaps I am a little biased, I know I´ve been forcing myself a little to like this game more, but if I am honest to myself, it feels as an incomplete game, at alfa or beta state at best, it re-uses a lot of enemies (the flying ones even have a generic hawk sound) and the textures and landscapes are generic and lack shading. Still I don´t know why I always end up returningI love SAO, so perhaps I am a little biased, I know I´ve been forcing myself a little to like this game more, but if I am honest to myself, it feels as an incomplete game, at alfa or beta state at best, it re-uses a lot of enemies (the flying ones even have a generic hawk sound) and the textures and landscapes are generic and lack shading. Still I don´t know why I always end up returning to play it, the flying mechanic is cool, the combat though a little repetitive is fun, and the cutscenes and story are enjoyable but this game had a lot more potential and I cannot over see that. If you are not a fan of SAO stay away from this game, but if you are a hardcore fan you cannot miss it, but don´t pay it full price.… Expand

    Попытка реализовать полеты, так как играем в альфхейме, на мой взгляд на*бнулась. Но я и не знаю как она должна была выглядеть. Локации маленькие ну прям очень и бестриарий так себе. Я так понял они сделали упор на музыку. И она тут огонь (полноценные песни не мелодии). Вообще игра оправдала свое название. На многое не рассчитывайте, но песни в треки добавил.Попытка реализовать полеты, так как играем в альфхейме, на мой взгляд на*бнулась. Но я и не знаю как она должна была выглядеть.

    Even npc don't have depicting illustrations when talking to them. The game is not that ugly, considering it is from a ps vita game. Side quests are useless and uninteresting. Scenario is just for fanservice. The only proper point is musics that are good enough. Gameplay is pretty terrible, especially in aerial battles doesn't evolve at all throughout the story.

    Mediocre JRPG. If you are not interested in Sword Art Online, there is no meaning to play.

    It doesn’t do anything interesting to make itself stand out, so I would advise anyone who values their time and money to stay away.

    To see such frustrating limitations enforced upon what could have been a defiantly meaty JRPG world is a deal-breaking shame. [Jan 2016, p.81]

    Much more than a graphical upgrade to the Sword Art Online universe, but not the leap forwards it appears at first.
