Check out these screenshots.  It looks like "A Nightmare Before Christmas."

its been awhile since someone has brought up this game

All these pics we\'r eposted a few months ago, but the game definelty has a unique look.

The japanese version scored average, right around the same score Dark Cloud received give or take a point.

This game is destined for an American release in the Fall.

Here\'s the Japanese promational video:

This game I have been eagarly awaiting since first seeing it months and months ago.:)

I like the cartoony fantasy style of it, it brings back memories of old (8/16 bit) rpgs, with a graphical leap-no doubt.

The FF series and others are using the new power of the next gen consoles to make characters seem very life-like, but I will always like the "cartoony" rpgs just as much-if not more:)

Bring it on!!!!

It adds to the uniqueness of the game.  I can\'t wait to see those "Nightmare-esque" people run around with seemingly-evil shadows all around.

Which reminds me.  Is there any PS2 game out where you can be the "bad guy."  Does PSX even have a game like that?

On PSX and soon on PS2:

Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen. You get to be a blood thirsty vamp.

Soul Reaver. Same kinda deal, although LoK:BO is my fav:)
