Ultimately disappointing, Phantasy Star Universe showcases good intentions have gone awry. On paper, expanding upon each aspect of the well-received Phantasy Star Online appears attractive, yet a shoddy execution lacks the finely-tuned balance the game was known for. Worse yet, questionable design robs players of both money and time. Viewed objectively, there's still some fun to be had online, but the wasted potential serves as a constant reminder of what could have been.
