The tales that delivers.

User Rating: 9 | Tales of Vesperia X360
Vesperia is the first tales game I ever played due to my late entrance to the series. Since this game caught my eye on gamespot, gametrailers, ign etc, I have been waiting to get my hands on it. To me, this game is fantastic in terms of a JRPG.

Graphic 10/10

The graphic is stunning, that's it. I heard they use cell shading or whatever but it is well done. You don't see any lazy arts or any graphic problems. Battle graphic and animations are also very colorful and flashy with no slow down. I really can't complaint about anything.

Sound 9/10

The intro music was awesome, the town music is charming and the battle music is well done. The voice acting is also very good, they display the characters personality and also fits in to the games.

Gameplay 9/10

The real time battle really puts to shine, 4 players are allow to participate and it is very fun having intelligent players to help out instead of AI. The AI on the hand, isn't that dumb so it is still fun playing alone.

The world and explorations component are quite enjoyable, there are lot of citys and city, and they are clearly recorded accessible in the menus. All the stuff the games teaches you are also recorded so players don't need to worry about forgetting where to backtrack to.

All 7 characters have their own set of artes, which is special moves they can perform in battle, they also have different play styles, speed, attack, defence and weapons etc. so it sums up that you will need lots of trial and errors to see which team works best for you.

Replay Value 8/10

Achievement is one thing you want to play this game at least twice. The grade system, which allows you to get certain power up or carry over items or artes, helps greatly to give players more motivation to play through the game again. However grades are hard to come by and often it ends up having players to grind for them.
