"The angels bore the Chosen One, who would travel to the Tower of Salvation, and save the world!" This edict is the basis for the game and is known as the Legend of Mithos. Tales of Symphonia (T.o.S.) is an enormous story full of adventure, misfortune, tragedy, and even betrayal!T.o.S. can have up to four players,and T.o.S. also promises over thirty hours of game play. Since it's for Gamecube and Ps2 only, this game has to be the best massive multiplayer role playing game(m.m.r.p.g.), and is definitely worth the money.

I've always been a fan of RPGs. I'm saying this up front. If you have never enjoyed an RPG, then you probably won't like Tales of Symphonia. Also, as is pretty much standard for RPGs, if you don't have many, many hours to invest in this game, it probably isn't a good purchase. That being said, Tales of Symphonia is an amazing game that I thoroughly enjoyed. First, the combat system is different than any other RPG I've ever played. It's done in real time and you actually physically control a character, using standard attacks and skills at will. You control the other characters in your party by using pre-assigned hotkeys or by going through a menu and individually selecting what you want them to do. This gives the combat an almost fighting game feel. It also makes player skill and important factor in success. As you get better at the combat system you'll find yourself taking down harder enemies very easily toward the latter part of the game. But seeing as it took me over one hundred hours to complete the game the first time, it'll be a while before you start destroying everything around you. But those hundred plus hours were completely amazing. The graphics look very nice, and the game is voice acted pretty well. The story is complicated and has several major twists, so I won't tell you anything about it. Suffice it to say this is a fantasy RPG complete with elves...and angels. Yeah, I know. Angels. Trust me, it makes sense after playing. Which is something that I definitely recommend. I got several play-throughs out of this game and you probably will too.
Bottom Line:
If you like RPGs, and have plenty of spare time, then this is the game for you. The combat system, graphics, voice acting, and story combine to make this one of the best games the Gamecube has to offer.

For all of those reviews that are one and two stars, I guess that's your own personal opinion. I read this two star review, and some of the things weren't completely true about it. The beginning can be a little slow (depending on your taste) but if you keep playing, the game becomes amazing. The graphics are ok, personally, I liked them, but I can understand why some may think they're childish. Gameplay was very cool. I enjoyed the RPG and real-time fighting style. I am a huge fan of RPGs, and the real-time fighting was a really cool experience. My favorite part though, unlike many of those one star reviews, was the story. In the beginning, it sounds nice and simple. As you move on, it's a little more complicated. Eventually, it becomes really twisted and upside-down, which I really thought was awesome. At times, I forgot about the gameplay and just focused on the story. Everytime you think you figured it out, it suddenly changes on you.
Anyway, overall, the graphics were alright (depending on what you like), gameplay was very impressive, and the story was definetly NOT predictable (for those of you who "guessed 95% of it"). I personally loved this game, but it may not be everyone's type, but I don't think at all that this is something any gamer would hate.
I'd rate this a nice 7 outta 5 stars!!

tales of symphonia is a great example of the new free roaming RPG style. the music and voiceovers are well done and the cutscenes and anime style animation look good on the Cube/Wii. the actual battle system is not completely free-roaming as you can only move forward and backward but the control allow for lots of combinations. the actual story is interesting and charcters are well designed. the only downsides are the AI on both sides are sluggish and the strategies offered for the characters you do not control are pretty uninspired. overall this is an excellent game for any RPG fan.
