The sentimentality, of which there is plenty, is nicely balanced by a humor of ironic pragmatism, as when Ray, having built his baseball field as a monument to human dreams, decides to charge tourists $20 a head to visit it. Despite a lovely cameo turn by Burt Lancaster, Field of Dreams is the male weepie at its wussiest. The life-equals-baseball masterpiece still packs an unexpected kick.
Field of Dreams sustains a dreamy mood in which the idea of baseball is distilled to its purest essence: a game that stands for unsullied innocence in a cruel, imperfect world. The conception is sentimental, but the storytelling remains assured and effective. [A] special experience, sort of an It's a Wonderful Life for the late '80s. Knightmare.

Radiata Stories is a role-playing game developed by tri-Ace and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2.
