Haseo and the rest of "The World R:2" have been rendered in a fluid concoction of Japanese animation and cell-shading, which is an immense improvement over previous polygonal rendering. Beautifully executed rendering allows textures to be applied with striking attention to detail, resulting in attractive scenery and scantily-clad characters...The game's other redeeming attributes are its new and upgraded features. The controls have been adapted to new skills and moves, helping the fluidity of game play that was sorely lacking in days of the old World. Weapon skills allow you to interrupt opponents' attacks mid-movement, making the combat feel more like a real-time experience...With many other battle upgrades and changes to town actions, .hack//G.U. is the metamorphosed caterpillar of the maturing .hack dynasty.
