[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

I might be buying Baten Kaitos soon, but I noticed at Wal-Mart that it had a sticker on it that said "bonus soundtrack" or something. Is this the same thing? http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/10/11/news_6110252.html
Is the soundtrack any good/worth getting?

The soundtrack is better than the game itself.

How am I to take that? Is it merely a slam against the game, or a genuine appreciation of the soundtrack as well?

Bit of both. They had the genius' to create a stellar game, but it is simply your above-average title. The score however is one of Sakuraba's best.

Sorry, I should have gone more in-depth with my reply. The game is merely average in my opinion. The story is really dull and aside from a plot twist about half way into the game, there is really nothing that keeps you wanting to play the game. The characters are not interesting in the least bit and the voice acting....you'll be turning that off within 15 minutes.

The card battle system is actually pretty good though. Some fights can be frustrating if you keep ending up with a bad hand (all defensive cards on your offensive turn,) but it doesn't happen often enough to knock what is otherwise a nice change from the usual select attack/run/cast spell system in most RPG's.

But yeah, the soundtrack is really good. You can actually unlock the tracks during the game and listen to them via the menu. My suggestion would be to rent the game or wait for a price drop.
