You see, there are your ‘main NPCs’ (people you will have in your party often), and then there are the ‘filler NPCs’ (people you recruit only when you have to). This is where things kinda get complicated. Through the game you pick up member addresses of other players…and you can use them to make a team of 3 people to aid you on your journey. You play as Kite, but you do not adventure alone. Infection tries to be as authentic to MMOs as it can actually be, with combat relying heavily on using skills and relaying strategies to your ‘friends’ (the NPCs in your party). Meanwhile Kite and his companions search for the secret of Aura…who she is, and why she gave him (Kite) a mysterious bracelet that is not a legal item within the system. Infection has a lot of different things going on at once…like people joining your party for their own reasons, a secret message in The World, hints that The World is more than just a game…but rather something alive, and then a conspiracy that the CC Corp somehow knows this game is causing people to fall comatose, but they are not dealing with the problem like they should. Now the hunt is on to find out what caused Yasuhiko to go into a coma…and also if there is a way to save him.Īnd that’s all just scratching the surface. We learn afterwards that Kite got away and logged out for the night, only to find out the next day that his friend Yasuhiko had fallen into a coma. Kite is caught in the crossfires of the creature’s next attack when a staff-like object falls from the sky, and Kite is teleported away. Orca’s last words to Kite was that he was sorry, and that Kite should run or else the monster will kill him too. It takes Orca and drags him into the sky where it uses a strange power that seems to corrupt Orca’s data. Suddenly, the creature from before appears. She says the book holds the power of salvation or destruction at the whim of the user and without any other explanation, she just fades away. But Kite and Orca follow the girl, only to end up taken from the dungeon zone and landing in a strange and corrupted area. But while the two are wandering the dungeon, a girl in all-white zips past them, and she is being chased by a strange creature with a red wand.Already it seems that Orca has heard of this girl before…he refers to her as something that he thought was just a rumor and it’s even more obvious that whatever was chasing her is not something normally programmed into the game. He takes his friend to a beginner’s area, and explains the gate, the dungeons, fighting monsters…basic stuff.

In the beginning, Orca just explains the game and how it works.

Kite chooses to play as a Twin Blade as he logs in and meets his friend (a character-name Orca) by the Chaos Gate in Mac Anu. Kite gets invited by his friend Yasuhiko to join the largest online MMO called “The World”. Nostalgia aside, it’s time to shed the light on this game: what it does well, and the places where it absolutely failed.īut enough of my rambling…lets get into this review, shall we? While stats online show that it got mostly positive reviews, I have barely met a person that knows what Dot Hack is…let alone all the games that came out for it.Īnyways…despite my love of the series, I am still going to treat this like any other game review. But I can’t say that I know very many people that have played this game.

A used copy of this game only runs for $13-$15 at the most. Infection is the first game in the IMOQ series…and is also the cheapest and easiest to find online.

IMOQ stands for: Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, and Quarantine…because like the GU series, the IMOQ series is broken into 4-separate parts.īut today we are talking about “Infection”. There are seven of them altogether, and what most people might not know is that the GU series was not the first set of games out for the Playstation 2…rather, it was the IMOQ-series that came first. I collect the manga, novels, figurines, anime, and yes…I also own all the video-games. You should know by reading this blog that I am a MASSIVE fan of Dot Hack.
