You know you're in store for quite a game when it has a note about its creepy content written on the disc. "For a really disturbing image...flip disc over."

I'll let you think about that one for a minute. If you're still baffled, pick up any PS2 disc and do as the game says.

Now that milk has been shot from your nose, it's time to learn about a tale of a wisecracking bard who loves to make wisecracks. His tale is not entirely unlike that of his brothers and sisters, the men and women who star in other RPGs. This story, however, doesn't follow the stereotypes that the genre has created – it makes fun of them.
