Tales of Symphonia, is a must own for basically anybody with a gamecube. It is a game that is well worth its money. It is the best RPG for the gamecube to this date. With its innovative style of battle, I never wanted to escape.
This is a great game because it really knows how to give the people what they want in an RPG. ToS is full of bosses, varied enemies, and a story that can keep pace with the game play.
This was my first experience with the Tales series, and personally, I found myself wowed. Although many people believed the story was weak, well it was, as far as RPG's today are, but in general I believe this has a good enough story to keep up with the rest of the pack. The graphics and sound however I doubt will wow anybody, but they are well done, and fit very well in with the rest of the game.
This game can be great for any type of gamer. I have seen people who hate RPG's due to their "numbers" but can not help themselves to be addicted to this game because of its fast paced and tactical battle system.
Tales of Symphonia should easily be one of the games every gamecube owner should hold on to; you can keep playing this game for months, and never get bored.
In the end Tales of Symphonia is something to quench the thirst for all of us gamecube fanatics.
