Tales of Symphonia Chronicles (PS3)

I had a such a blast playing this game that I was fed up when I actually completed it the plot is very goodand I found myself investing emotionally into the cast even some of baddies, I struggled a bit with the battlesystem at first but when the full party is made available its a piece of cake, the soundtrack is great especiallythe battle music which I ended up humming along to while beating up enemies, for amount of content in thegame it is great value. The sequel was not bad and it was great to see what the original cast was up toand the capture monsters idea was good, the new cast members where a bit annoying at first but got better as thegame went on and some of the side content gets repetitive. Overall the first part makes the price great value and thesequel adds extra icing to the cake.

Tales of Symphonia is a great, memorable RPG and is one of the best Tales of games. It's actually my favourite out of the ones I've played and I now consider it to be one of my favourite games of all time. I like the story and characters, the animation is beautiful with very nice scenery and I love the music! Good gameplay with easy controls and with a good, fun battle system. This game is emotional and will put the feels on believe me.Negatives: The dungeons, especially the human ranches are BAD. The story can get a bit confusing and lazy, too many skits maybe, party members take awhile sometimes to do something, some corny moments, targeting goes a bit off sometimes.I have love for this game, it's a very long game, (140 hours game file), plenty to do and it's most likely my favourite Tales of game.8.5/10Dawn of the New World: I haven't played it yet.

Tales of Symphonia is one of the best JRPGs of it's time, it may not have had the best graphics but the story, music and battle system is great! The second game isn't bad either, the graphics are better because it was originally made for the Wii but most places are repeated only with new story, some new main characters and different order you're supposed to visit the places in. ( They both take place in the same world but the later game takes place a few years after the first one. )Both English and Japanese voice tracks, choose the one you prefer. The original game apparently has less voices content in English but the second game is completely English voiced. Including the skits ( out of cutscene conversions between the characters. Most which are helpful and sometimes random but very funny! )If you're a Tales of fan you do NOT want to miss these. The games may be a little older but both are very much worth playing and why not do it in HD! Can't go wrong!

It’s great for Tales of Symphonia alone! It is an older Tales game but don’t let that discourage you. It has fantastic gameplay that is similar to Smash Brothers. With a story that is a nice deconstruction of many JRPGs.For a HD remaster/port I do wish the texture quality was improved a bit more and the graphics were a lil sharper but honestly when you get into it you grow to love the game’s atmosphere

Need more tales in my life. These are the closest to my heart.

Love this game although I haven't finished it yet. It reminds me of the early Final Fantasy games that I have enjoyed in the past. Any one who likes a good old fashioned RPG will enjoy playing this game and the other Tales games.

Whilst this is enjoyable, the graphics are pretty much the same.Only buy this if you are going to enjoy the story regardless.

Love this it lets me play both games that I like and Tales of Symphonia got me hooked on the games.
