Passable storyline, but bad gameplay mechanics.
In the virtual world, you are a rookie data-hunter. Going into abandoned servers, you retrieve lost pieces of data for money. However, unlike all the others, you are able to use ‘Virtua Souls’, fragments of martial arts data that can give you the power to break even the most powerful defenses. An organization that hopes to rule both the virtual and real worlds want the souls for themselves, and constantly hunt you. With few allies, and no way to predict the enemy organization, the game has a lot of potential.
Key word there is ‘potential’: in action it’s frustrating as hell. If you can ignore the lack of challenging fights to make you feel in danger, the blocky movements, the inability to make your own choices in anything (even the fights), the gameplay is still aggrivating. You’re more likely to toss the controller in an unavoidable, ‘easy’ obsticle course than you are in an actual mission.
I’ll give it credit for potential, and if you
can ignore the glaring problems in gameplay then it’s great. Too
bad the ‘game’ half of this is too aggrivating for me to enjoy..
