Anyone know anything about the original PS2 title? I'm curious.
Carmine Red, Associate Editor

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

That's one of the greatest game titles I've ever heard and I don't know why.

I heard it was crap...

You heard correctly, GameRankings Average was 56.3%.
