The story's as thin as air but the XP grind is super-addictive.

Still offers the definitive MMO experience on PS2, but online is still the only way to get the most out of this expansion.

There’s a fun little onling game here; and while it’s not quite as deep or engrossing as other titles on the market, it’s still a blast to create a character, dress them up and kill a lot of stuff in a group with other people.
