GameSpot: Phantasy Star Zero Review

The amount of enjoyment you'll get out of Phantasy Star Zero hinges largely on how readily you can get together with your friends--either online or locally--to go searching for loot. Even then, you'll still have to contend with a temperamental camera and clumsy combat. On the bright side, if you can get past its issues and come to grips with the fact that it feels a little old, it's the only worthwhile game on the DS that has the accessible gameplay, simple action, and vast catalog of items that made Phantasy Star Online a hit in the first place. 6.5/10
