Sword Art Online: Gun Gale Online
We’ve gotten several Sword Art Online games already. We’ve climbed Aincrad, flew through the skies of Alfheim… then returned to Aincrad (though it changed into Ainground). Fans of the anime were hoping for, and expected, a trip to the world that followed Alfheim in the anime, the world of Gun Gale Online (GGO). GGO was another VRMMORPG, only it traded in all the fantasy wonders of SAO and ALO for science fiction, a post apocalyptic world, and lots of bullets.
It’s a much more serious experience than the other situations Kirito and his friends find themselves in, and it also provides the real introduction to the fan-favorite character Sinon, not that odd addition of her we’ve seen in other games thus far. It would be cool to play the faux MMO with a new sci-fi spin, customizing weapons and armor while exploring sprawling battlefields. The series has reached a point where all the entries feel relatively the same, and it’s time for something fresh.
