So, any of you remember that old Dot Hack game released back in 2002 or so for PS2?
You know, that 4-game series that revolved around a fake MMORPG called {The World} ?
...Surely you've heard of it or seen it, the copies of it still exist in virtually any gamestore!

Well... Maybe you've heard of the sequel to it, .Hack//G.U., as it came out recently?
3 part game series, revolving around the new version of {The World}?
Still awesome. No? Haven't heard of it?

Well, MAYBE you've heard of one of the TV series?
.Hack//SIGN, which followed Tsukasa, a player who couldn't log out?
.Hack//Legend of the Twilight, which followed Shugo and Reyna; Chibis of the original characters?
Maybe even .Hack//Roots, which was the Prequel to the GU series, following Haseo, the main character of GU?

STILL NOTHING?
/Facepalm.

Okay, If at this point you don't know what I'm talking about, Get out.
No, seriously, get out. Watch a series, play a game, or read one of the books.

Because, this... (Is supposedly) THE BIG FINALE.

Dot Hack Link is the newest addition to the Dot Hack series, supposedly being the last game of the entire series, and Uses a lot of the game's past characters to tie the entire thing together.

The story... Is not in this game. Yet.
Supposedly, if I remember right, The game revolves around a young Tokio (New character) who is sucked into the game because he is the chosen one (or something among those lines, I haven't read the translated manga in a while,) and basically causes Kite (The main character in the original series) to get trapped in an icicle.

BECAUSE OF THIS, Tokio has to go out, collect all of his friend's 'cores' and stop the evil gang of... ANYWAYS, it's a decent demo, and the full version may come to america, which is probably why I made the gigantic intro.

Please note, If you want to play this demo, You need a PSP.
Also, the entire demo is in Japanese, but it's not necessary to read if you figure the buttons out, which you can kind of get from the tutorial.

The game is basically a 3D Dungeon-Crawling RPG which runs really well on the PSP.
It's definately worth a try :3

Anyways, the download is here:

(NOTE: Extract the 'PSP' folder to your 'PSP' folder. It isn't regionally locked.)

The demo contains the tutorial level with Kite and 3 levels with 2 other characters.

I'm looking forward to the game's full release, as it is coming out in Japan in March, and the Manga for LINK will be coming out in June to America.
Eventually, an anime series will be coming out as well.

TLR version - Game has large series. Demo is Japanese. DOWNLOAD NAO.

Oh, and when you're done, post thoughts, things, and what you need help with.
