Vesperia is so far one of the best RPG on the XBox360, is fun to play,multiplayer, great graphics, history, a must have.
Tales of Vesperia is so far one of the best RPG I've played, and is the best in the series so far IMO(Tales of Symphoni, Tales of Legendia, Tales of the Abyss, Tales of the World :Radiant mythology & Tales of Destiny I & II) of course it has so much to offer, really nice graphics, specially the battle effects, the magic spells look just amazing, the play time, the replay value.... so much to tell...
Graphics (10):
Tales of Vesperia grapics are simply beautifull its almost like you r waching an anime... the colors, the character spites r really well done, the close up to the characters faces allow us to se the detail and effort they put in to them, plus the battle effects r simply beautiful and amazing, spells like revitalize, regenerate and many others show us the detail, we can even see how each line of the magic circles is being draw in real time...
History (9):
The history is not that impresive, however is well developed and the character develop is also really well done, they let us know small but important details about the characters, plus there r alot of side quest to do, explaining better the main history, character related and other stuff.
Music (8):
For Vesperia's music we got Motoi Sakuraba like almost all the Tales series games, and he did a good job, the music is good, it fits,but there r many themes that sound familiar to other tales games, by the other way the sound effects are great we can hear everything clear, the birs, the water, as well as the footsteps, in battle everything sounds exelent and the American voice acting is exelent.
Gameplay (10):
Vesperia uses a upgraded version of the system used in tales of the abyss, this time we got many features, the free run is more balanced this time, the AoE spells are bigger, it got fatal strikes that allow the player to KO monsters its just timing, plus this fatal strikes increase the exp, gald and skill point rates,the overlimit gauge is more balanced as well. because now everyone share a overlimit bar, so this time the player must think when and who uses it, the character customize is great as well, each character can learn skills, however there are exclusive skills for each character, and the skills are learned via weapon.
Replay Value(10):
Like almost all the past tales games, tales of vesperia replay value offer to the player a large selection of options to costumize the next play, making the next roud harder or easier, the player can select the difficult level, to carry over items, money and other stuff, as well as exp rate, and many other features, is up to the player to decide.
So... Tales of Vesperia is so far one of the best RPG on the XBox360, is fun to play, is multiplayer, great replay value, fast action packed battle system... is a must have for the 360.
