A surprisingly deep game

Reviewed by benkosar on March 26, 2008  |  report this review

Tales of the world has basically characters ripped out of all of the other Tales of games (Tales of Symphonia, Legendia, and The abyss to name a few) and shoved into a game. It works fairly well, but it's best if you've played at least a couple of these games before.

The game progresses via mission structure much like final fantasy tactics advance. There are lots of extra scenes, every time you return from a mission it seems like there's more text. There's voice acting, almost everything is spoken it seems.

You can make your own char, male or female, and every time you change armor/weapons the physical appearance changes. It's a fairly deep game for being a smathering of all kinds of different random chars. The graphics are wonderful, and you'd think your playing a Playstation 2 game honestly. Extremely well done, high production values all over.

I could easily recommend this to any person who enjoys role playing games. Lots of item creation and customization options, and basic pimping out of your character.
