.hack Vol. 2: Mutation

"If you liked the first game, you'll definitely want to check out .hack Part 2: Mutation. If you're new to the series, this is as good a time as any to hop on the .hack train, as two more installments in the franchise are due later this year."

"Even if you really liked the first .hack game, you probably won't like the second installment as much, since it's just like the first, minus the originality."

"Kite will meet new characters, the plot will be interesting, and the gameplay will remain fun. You just can't expect the same sort of leaps you'd expect from a traditional sequel. Bandai's experimental presentation of the .hack saga is laudable, but I can't help wondering if they'll see diminishing returns."
