DESCRIPTION

Based on the popular Japanese series of SNES role-playing adventures, Minstrel Song brings the Romancing SaGa to North American PS2s, along with the new features, deeper presentation, and graphical and audio updates expected the a jump from 16- to 128-bit processing. While 2D pixilation is replaced by 3D polygons, the series strives to retain its non-linear storytelling and simple charm. As one of eight playable characters, gamers lead a party of heroes in a quest to prevent the re-awakening of Saruin, a supernatural villain who has been imprisoned for the last millennium. These heroes are aided by the guidance and advice of a traveling minstrel, who seems to come and go mysteriously. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
