  • Rating:7.7

    Tales of the Abyss is a disappointment in alot of ways, the game was just filled up with to much filler.

    Tales of the Abyss certainly wasn't a bad game, I've played much worse RPGs. There was just to many things that annoyed me and there just wasn't anything new about this it. There was nothing improved over Tales of Symp... Read Full Review

    Only Tales fans can appreciate this game like it deserves to be.

    This game is one of the best RPG on the PS2, except for the poor graphics and the midi-ish music, this game is all good. Graphics: Like i've just said the graphics are poor, but the manga style of the cinematics and t... Read Full Review

    Probably the most anime-like jrpg ever, Tales of the Abyss easily manages to be the best of the "Tales of" ser

    The last part of 2006 has probably been the swan's song of ps2's japanese role playing games, with titles such as Suikoden 5, Valkyrie Profile 2 and Final Fantasy XII (not to mention Rogue Galaxy) gracing the western fa... Read Full Review

    I reviewed this on-behalf of my brother who played this title. It certainly is quite different from the other Tales series mainly with the battles system since it's no longer settled on a 2D-Linear battle environment fro... Read Full Review
