That's the Sonic Statue your gonna get - Image 1 


Phantasy Star Universe has earned a lot of respect and even love from their players. But apparently, the same can't be said for its online community. Why is that? The guys behind the Phantasy Star Universe Online Community is dishing out all their aces to ensure that a lot of people will consider the PSU online experience. Sega recently announced that on Saturday, February 3 at midnight PST, they will be unleashing a super Sonic Demo Weekend.

So how would this go? To participate, you must have an active Xbox Live Gold account to be able to download and play it. By joining the PSU Xbox Live community, you will receive a limited edition Sonic Statue room item with your account. Users must play the demo from February 3-4 and purchase a GUARDIANS License for the PSU XBL community by February 28th to be eligible. Only one Sonic Statue per GamerID and GUARDIANS license.

Basically, they are offering you the chance to create your own character and meet new people by visiting various weapons, items, and clothing shops. If you feel like it, you could also join a squad and accomplish missions together.

The demo would let you explore three expansive planets -  Parum, Moatoob, and Neudaiz. You could also try out three different job types - Hunter, Ranger, and Force. Aside from that, you could also create your personal online space thanks to this feature they call MyRoom. Design it the way you want and create new weapons and items to aid you in your battles. You could also trade or sell your items.

Defo

I agree mate, anyone who plays this is a mug the graphics are shocking and the yearly cost is phenomenal for such a weak game. The gameplay is uninventive and the shop and menu systems are rediculous. There are many MMORPG games out there (none of which IMO are worth the monthly fee) that give much better gameplay and graphics for the same cost.

Why pay more ?

I dont mind paying for XBL as it is quality,easily the best out there,well maintained and worth every penny. But I would not pay extra to play these single games just as I would not pay a monthly fee for i.e World of Warcaft for PC if I had already bought the game.

hmm

To be honest i thought this game was a waste of time like i did with PSO, but after playing it for a little while i was hooked on PSO and also PSU, i dont really care about the gfx, as its the gameplay and comunity that i play for.....
