Dot Hack Part 2 – Mutation ROM Description
Delve back into the virtual world of The World in .hack//Mutation, the second entry in Bandai’s episodic PS2 RPG tetralogy. While the setting and premise intrigued in the first game, this installment offers more repetitive action and little story payoff.
Picking up where Infection left off, you’ll rejoin Kite and his party as they investigate mysterious comas afflicting players. Importing your save data carries over levels and items. However, Mutation provides minimal new content beyond reskinned environments and enemies.
The addictive MMORPG premise seems wasted on disposable randomized dungeons, predictable plot developments, and shallow character growth. Basic hacking and slashing comprises the bland combat, interrupted often by menu-driven actions. With little challenge or variety, the repetitive grind grows old fast.
Fans drawn into the first episode’s unique virtual reality saga deserve better than content this uninspired. Prettier graphics can’t mask the recycled gameplay and lack of meaningful progress. As middle chapters in a serialized story, these incremental sequels shortchange players looking for complete arcs.
It’s admirable for Bandai to experiment with shorter episodic games, but .hack deserves fuller experiences. The unresolved ending only sets up yet another sidequest-packed sequel rather than advancing the story meaningfully. For such a fascinating setting, the execution falls short.
Unless you’re a completist who simply must see Kite’s journey through, it’s hard to recommend .hack//Mutation at full price. Download this less rewarding rehash on ROMsdl.NET instead, or simply wait for the climactic payoff of the later episodes. But temper expectations for now.
