Is .hack/Link for the psp a sequel to the link manga or is it a retelling?

The manga is based off the Game. Having played the import and read the first two mangas I can also say that they are almost completely different experiences. The game follows the main story arcs (SIGN, .hack, Roots, G.U.), in fairly decent detail, and the manga goes all over the place (SIGN, G.U., etc) and just barely scratches the surface of each series. There are similar plot devices such as Schicksal and Chrono Cores, but beyond the introduction of the game and the mangas the plots diverge significantly at many points.

They are different stories, and I think the game has the canon plot.
