description: A Game About A Game Calls for a Top-Notch Strategy Guide! .hack , pronounced "dot hack", is the first installment in the unique, new .hack RPG series for the PS2. The game will ship combined with an Original Video Animation feature, which helps flesh out the storyline. Essentially, .hack is a game about a game. Players assume the role of Kite, a boy who is playing a massively multiplayer online RPG (MMORPG) called "The World". The story takes place in the year 2007, where over 20 million people are playing The World. Suddenly, the structure of the game is changed, inhibiting players from making progress with their characters. While problems with the game are occurring, an unknown monster attacks Kite and his friend Orca. The attack leaves Orca comatose in the real world. Kite decides to use his data-draining ability to modify The World's glitches, and hopefully, revive his friend. Players will embark on an innovative quest that will require them to rely on help from other characters to solve the game's mystery and save The World. Not Final Cover.
