BEST. GAME. EVER. Truly, TRULY amazing!

User Rating: 10 | Tales of Symphonia GC
When I first heard about Tales of Symphonia, it was just that it was a good game. Being the fact that the people who told me it was a good game were people who I knew had good taste, I decided to check it out. So, I asked for it for Christmas, got it, and started to play it.

It was difficult to stop.

Soon, all of my thought processes revolved around that game. My grades in school started to slip, due to the fact that I couldn't concentrate on my studies. I'd be sitting in class, my teacher droning on and on about the periodic table, but all I'd be thinking about was the next Summon Spirit I had to find, and if Kratos would turn up there. My papers that I turned in had names of the characters and the name of the game doodled all over it, and I had started to memorize lines and incantations for spells and techniques.

No game has ever done that to me before -- not even the highly amazing Legend of Zelda series. Tales of Symphonia had me completely obsessed, leaving me with an aching heart after I beat it for the first time.

There is no game that I would recommend over Tales of Symphonia, for it is amazing, even if it is cel-shaded (which actually works out quite well for it). If there is any game that should appeal to every single audience, it would have to be this one.

In short:

Buy it. Play it. Love it. Repeat.
