Tales of Symphonia Reviews
I love the skits. So disappointed. Really really late catching on. And the art is beautiful. I like this series. But at least they changed in the Wii. I am not sure it was a great decision since in comparison the design of this one is way behind.
I think it is one of the best parts. Ironically I brought this game after I played the Wii one (Dawn of the New World). But still I wanted to play the original story to make the the story feel complete. Since I played the Wii one first.the fact that the skits have no voices really really bugs me. They did the same in Tales of Abyss.
From earning new titles for your characters, to earning brand new clothes for them as well. There are a couple of cutscenes- not as many in this game as there are in some of the other tales games. Well, Tales of Symphonia is my favorite in the entire Tales series of video games. You have a lot of side quests that are in this game as well.
The gameplay was great- the monsters roam the fields, so no more random enemy encounters to deal with. The graphics are not that great, but considering that the game was made for the Nintendo Gamecube, the graphics really stand out when shed in this light. The story/plot is a good one- you need to save the world, and save your best friend at the same time. The Wonder Chef returns will countless new recipes.
The game play is rich and vibrant. In order to save the world, Colette, will sacrafice her life to save you and everyone in it. This game, was the first RPG in the Tales series that was released for the Nintendo Game Cube. The story takes some interesting twists.
When I first purchased this game a few years back, it was my very first "Tales of." game and I immediately fell in love with it. Its fast-paced game play with battles and the rest of the game play are quite enjoyable and the plot is very unique and interesting due to the game's numerous 'twists'. The music itself is captivating, the artwork and cell-shading/anime cutscenes are to die for and the epileptic moves such as spell casting Indignant Judgment and Lloyd's Falcon's Crest are just remarkable evolutions from the former tales games such as Phantasia and Destiny.
When I first played this game I was skeptical as I'd just finished and liked Baten Kaitos so much; I suppose I had a bias against it even. I'm repurchasing after I got a new Wii earlier this year and the sequel is coming out soon. I enjoyed it tremendously, and even was surprised at how long the game was (good thing). Another play-through is definitely warranted.
Graphics ROCK. The bad thing is that it's only in battle. I think it's a combination of cel-shading and LoZ graphics. Once you beat Mithos you can play the game all over again.
Sound: 5/5. You can use all the grade you obtained in your adventure to buy features for your second game. There is some language on there. The music both inside and outside of battle is really great. Graphics: 5/5.
It costs 3000 grade so I don't think you'll have it for the second game. I really hate to give it a rating like this. Since I've only played with one other person I have no idea what 4 player is like. Overall this is an awesome game.
Character voices are good. Multiplayer: 3/5. You can also choose to keep titles, relationships, money, and even have up to 30 items in your inventory. The game was designed for single player but you can have four people playing at once. They don't say f*** every 5 seconds. Gameplay: 4/5.
Don't worry it's all mild. These are some pretty good graphics. Sound is just.just.it's so awesome I can't think of the word. Other than that it's all good. Story has a good ending.
With all the sidequests you won't be able to do them all in one game. There are some parts where it gets pretty emotional. The best thing on there is the 10x EXP. Things get easier after the first time through. Overall: 4/5. Replay: 5/5.
Personally I like single player better. lol The only bad part is when Zelos says SOB in Sybak. The most emotional part is in Exire. The controls in battle take a little time to get used to, but once you're okay with it they become second nature to you. One of my favourite songs on there is titled Full Force.
The characters and world are cel-shaded and the background is like LoZ graphics. There is some cel-shading in there, but it's not like Wind Waker. ToS has a real time battle system. You're limited to four moves that you can set yourself and you can assign moves to the C stick so that you can use anytime during battle.
I highly reccomend kepping your money and having 30 items.
