I am enjoying Xenosaga immensely. Like I said before, it's like sitting down to watch a movie every time, but it's a movie with a genuinely compelling plot and insanely-directed and well-done action sequences. Also, there is either an absurd amount of video in the game or the graphics engine is advanced beyond belief. And, speaking of advancement, the music! It says on the box that the London Philharmonic was involved, and while I'm sure it wasn't for all the tracks, those that do get the orchestral treatment are amazing. On top of all that, it's got the multiple plot threads thing going, too. I can't remember the last time I saw that in a game. It is quite difficult to put down.
