Like an anime version of "Star Wars," this big, lavishly produced action RPG is another good reason not to shelve your Sony Playstation 2 just yet.

A game you just have to finish. You'll love every part of it - the action-filled combat, the dream-driven plot, and every polygon of the gorgeous graphics. It's not just one element that'll consume you - it's the entire package.
