The game continues the story arc of the previous PSO games, as players once again become Hunters and explore the mysteries of the planet Ragol. Featuring both online and offline play, as well as multiplayer modes, PSO Episode III adds new content and players to the ever-growing PSO community.

Lame. Jesus, Sega's really gone down the toilet when they resort to using their licenses on ''flavor of the month'' trends.

The xbox version is supposed to be announced shortly after E3. Unless there is some major connectivity between my Episode I and II save and this new game, count me out.

I wonder how they'll intergrate this episode with 1 and 2.

Maybe its a separate spin-off, or will they just include it with the GCN current version, and mark it off as 'Ver.2'

Sonic? Sorry, I meant, what? What other companies would use their leading products for different types of Mario? I mean, genres? Next they'll be rereleasing all the games in Final Fantasies. I mean, anthologies. Hahaha, it'll probably Mario Kart/Smash Bros/Final Fantasy Tactics! I mean, suck miserably. Hahahaha! We're so smart in demanding a complete transition with no new styles, only content, they always Final Fantasy 9! I mean, work!
