Holy crap! This game is awesome!
Story: The story has lots of twists and turns but the first one is the chosen of regeneration is your friend Colette. You go to the oracle temple to recieve the oracle and set out on your quest. 10/10
Difficulty: Like most RPGs, Tales of Symphonia has a selectable difficulty setting. There are 3 modes of difficulty. Normal, Hard, and Mania. With Mania being the highest difficulty. If you have played the game more than once, it almost becomes repetitive. 8/10
Graphics: You may not expect much from the Gamecube, but Tales of Symphonia beautifly presents itself with a wonderfull Cel-shaded world, which is greatly detailed from beginning to end. 10/10
Controls: The game's controls are top-notch. The controls are easy to memorize and get used to. A is to attack, X is to guard, B is to use a tech, and Y is to open the menu. 10/10
Overall, the game is one of the best, if not the best RPGs on the Gamecube. If you haven't played Tales of Symphonia, you don't have a Gamecube. 9.5/10
