Xenosaga

Namco isn�t really known for its RPG�s, but with the buzz Xenosaga is already getting in Japan, the game could be as revolutionary, if not epic, when it reaches American shores in February.
Perhaps one of the most anticipated RPG�s for the PS2 is an impressive one step closer to becoming a reality. Indeed, an early build of Xenosaga played like an engaging tale of self-discovery full of rich sci-fi visuals and a complex turn-based battle system.Namco�s epic adventure will take place thousands of years in the future, where humanity is battling a ruthless alien entity in space. The game will deliver a whopping 80 hours of gameplay, which will also include a humongous 30 hours of charging cut-scenes that promise to take players on an emotional roller coaster through storytelling. An intriguing control system, music orchestrated by the London Philharmonic, and mini-games on the side are just a fraction of what Xenosaga will have to offer in February.
