    Tales of the Abyss: Quality Belying the Blemishes 2

    Qualifying what Tales of the Abyss is and isn't is a bit of a difficult task. When I started playing it, it was difficult to not make comparisons to other games left and right, especially to Abyss' older sibling Symphonia, the only other Tales game I had completed. "Oh, Symphonia had the more simplistic story," I'd go, or "These characters don't look quite as flashy." Perhaps those comparisons are inevitable for me, especially since, like many GameCube owners, I played and loved Symphonia in its...

    Good port of Tales, keep 'em RPGs coming 0

    The primary focus of re-releases is giving the opportunity to people who have never had the chance to play the game to go ahead and actually play it. This Tales of re-release for the 3DS has been bashed by critics for not containing any new feature, but that's the point in some sense. I, for one, have never had a Playstation 2 which was the console which served as home for this title originally, so I missed it. Now with this release I can experience this Tales installment that although released ...

The story was generic, the characters were frustrating. There was just to many skits and scenes, sometimes I just want to go through a...

    Story: It is very much a Tales game in that i just throws you into the world leaving you to figure out how it works and the character motivations feel like it belongs in a Tales game. The idea of knowing your own fate is an interesting idea, but it is done so with so much needless filler, and character action from some of the hero's just feel cruel(We will get to the Designated Hero soon)Gameplay: When you get the ability to run anywhere in the battlefield the game turns into easy mode especial...

    For my video review, go to, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_S4ql2Jtl4. Tales of the abyss is the next installment in the long line of Tales games, and its a series thats been overlooked by a lot of people, in favor of final fantasy. Tales of the Abyss follows the story of a young man, who has, GET THIS, amnesia! That's so original..., anyways, you'll learn that as a young child he was kidnapped and this caused him to lose his memory, for his safety his parents confined him to his manor until ...
