A game that rises above the rest!

User Rating: 10 | Tales of Symphonia GC
Have you ever played a game and thought, "Well, I beat it. Time to trade it in."? Sure you have! Fortunately, Tales of Symphonia has beaten that! I've played the game 7 times already, and there's always something new to get in the next playthrough that you didn't in the other. Tales of Symphonia, in my opinion, has the ultimate storyline. In fact, this is the ONLY game that's ever had a storyline that made me cry! Plus, the shift of the story from a simple low-life town to wonderful cities and an amazingly detailed storyline. Plus, the graphics look rather cartoony, but it's all the better, since it adds to the beauty and humor of some parts in the story. The characters are another thing that keeps the game going. Each character has a very unique style, both in battle and in the storyline. They have their own personalities, and the progression of their attitudes change as the storyline goes on. Next, the awesome battle system. The battles are real-time, involving you moving your controlled character and the other characters acting on their own (or you can give them commands). But fights are much more than just attacking. You have certain techs that you can make your controlled character do by pushing buttons in the correct manner or by selecting any one tech for an auto character to use by going to "techs". You can move in a straight line, and the techs make the fight look cool and be fun. Now that you know what to expect from this amazing RPG, you'd better go get one ASAP, and enjoy what this game has to offer!
