Fullmetal Alchemist 2: Curse of the Crimson Elixir
Fullmetal Alchemist 2: Curse of the Crimson Elixir is the third Fullmetal Alchemist video game for the PlayStation 2 and is the second Fullmetal Alchemist console role-playing game for the PlayStation 2. It is the prequel of sorts to Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel. The game has much improved visuals than the previous title, as well as all dialog being voiced over. To help boost sales, Square Enix decided to release the game with a bonus DVD in the United States containing the second and third episodes of Season 2 (episodes 27 Teacher and 28 One is all, All is One") of the 2003 anime series, since the show took a 4 month break in its Adult Swim broadcast. This DVD contains only English audio, with the shortened version of the 2nd OP "READY STEADY GO" by L'Arc~en~Ciel and the shortened 3rd ED "Motherland" by Crystal Kay, since that is the version that was to be shown in the Adult Swim broadcast. As of August 31, 2005, the game has sold 160 thousand units in Japan.

About This Game
Based loosely on the early episodes of the Fullmetal Alchemist anime, the story opens with a troubling pattern: people are vanishing across Amestris, said to have been taken by monsters. In Resembool, Edward and Alphonse Elric encounter an enigmatic alchemist named Jack Crowley and a mysterious presence called the Phantom, both of which seem connected to the disappearances and to strange stone creatures called Golems appearing in the countryside. Investigating further, the brothers meet archaeologist Arlen Glostner, who is studying the ancient civilization of Lebis. The trail leads to the ruins of Siam-Sid, the lost capital of Lebis, and the truth behind both the Golems and the missing people.
