Really good Tales game!

Tales of Symphonia was my first introduction to the Tales series. I first saw it in a Nintendo power and thought "Oh, this might be kind of cool". When I played the game it blew my mind. Tales of Symphonia became one of those games were once you start, its really hard to stop. I remember almost missing school the first morning I had it because I couldn't put it down.

The idea of the collector's book, Monster list, and figurine book made the game one of my favourites. It became a game where you would get to the end, but you couldn't finish until you got everything (or at least as much as you could within one play through). Which brings up a good point, no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to complete everything on your first, or even your second playthrough. This is why I got hooked on it, knowing there is always an Item your missing, or a monster you don't have the stats of yet.

In addition to being highly addictive, Tales of Symphonia had a crew of characters everyone could grow to love, and added another amazing storyline to the game world. The game was my first view into the Tales world, and has kept me coming back to it.
