.Hack Vol.1 x Vol.2 [Playstation 2 the Best]

.Hack Vol.1xVol2 (Playstation 2 The Best) is a compilation of the first 2 .Hack games for Playstation 2: 1 - .HACK - INFECTION: First in a four-part series, .hack//INFECTION is set in a near future when society has come to rely heavily on advanced network technology. Recently, a ban against online gaming has been lifted and millions upon millions of people have flocked to a new virtual reality known as "The World." Two teenage boys are among the participants, taking the roles of Kite and Orca in The World. When they are attacked and Orca's player falls comatose in the real world, Kite must continue in the virtual reality of the game on a quest to save his friend. Your friend talks you in to trying "The WORLD", the most successful on-line rpg in computer history. During your first adventure in the game with your friend (showing you the ropes) you come across a strange girl being chased by a weird monster, a strange incident causes your friend to go into a coma after the attack of an unknown / hacked monster and you end up with this book that upgrades your character with an unusual gauntlet that allows you to hack in the game. Your quest starts out to find out what caused your friend to go into a coma. This involves adventuring after sightings of the strange girl and hacking into sealed levels. There also seems to be corrupted levels and something going on that the CC Corporation (owner of The World) is trying to hide. While the story element of "will to power" in an artificial reality may share basic concepts with 1999's The Matrix, many of the presentational aspects of .hack are created with the sense of an epic anime film. The plotline is crucial to gameplay and an included DVD features original animation that may reveal important secrets to observant viewers. Characters in the game were designed by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Evangelion). The story was written by Kazunori Ito (Ghost in the Shell). .hack//INFECTION is Part 1 of a four-part RPG adventure for PlayStation 2 based on the Japanese anime television series .hack//SIGN.
