This enormous game offers two complete RPG experiences - a single-player action-adventure spanning multiple planets, and a robust online multi-player component. In offline mode, this action-RPG offers more than 40 hours of gameplay, an emotionally engaging story, traditional cut scenes, and strong character development. In online mode, players are given the opportunity to travel with a squad of other adventurers, enter urban sprawls teeming with hundreds of players, and build their unique avatars into powerful warriors /IGN

 Another Note:I've seen around some reviews etc, all good, but the warning comes that this game may not be true MMORPG but more like "many persons can play", not true MMORPG. YOU the readers and players will give us the 'straigt up' on this I'm sure  What PSO World says about PSO
