=Reception=
PlayStation LifeStyle's review of the game and movie combo disc noted that the game was "not created to provide a rival to Mortal Kombat or Soul Calibur. This "fighting game" is largely another means of telling the larger .hack story," and went on to say, "As long as you're looking at it as something that probably wouldn't have existed as anything other than a throw-in with a movie purchase, you'll be fine. Enjoy the characters, the world, and the story. That's what you came to .hack for anyway, right?"{{cite web|url=http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2013/06/04/hackversus-review-hackthe-movie-review-ps3/|title=
