No, PSU isn't bad at all. It's like any 'sequel.'
Many people thought FFVIII was really really bad, but only because it followed FFVII, one of the most critically acclaimed games EVAR. But it wasn't at all. It was just a different game.
I'm aware I'm undermining my whole argument with this post, but this thread's gotten way more debatey than I'd hoped.
I for one, am a fan of PSU.
Granted, you can't take your character offline, but with the advent of broadband, why would you?
The online only version didn't hinder Blue Burst at all! and there's a full RPG waiting for you offline, no matter how average it may be.
Play this game for the online options, you'll be amazed. I'd say it's the best "original" MMORPG on the market at the moment, it gets away from the number crunching of Lineage 2, WoW, and FFXI, and is more just... y'know... fun!
And isn't that how games are meant to be?
If you want a good experience on PSU, be sure to join Team PSUniverse.net-X as well, some really cool people on this forum's team. ^_^
The reason people see PSU as a bit disappointing, I think, is because it has a lot to live up to.
But it's early days yet. And it's not gotten off to a bad start on the 360. Not bad at all.
EDIT:
Noling

Granted, PSO was lovely. But you can't say it didn't have it's flaws. Anyone remember teammates on the DC letting you die so they could rob your hard-duped Lavis Cannon? SWINES!
