Eternal Waltz leans into its name with a genuine three-quarter time dance that somehow plays during combat and feels right. The Vantle Symphony tracks are wild, these multi-part orchestral pieces that treat boss battles like actual concert movements.

If you love games that sound like they have a full orchestra on retainer, this PS2 gem delivers.
