E3: Tales of Symphonia Hands-on (GCN)

Strap on your battle gear and prepare to immerse yourself in a gorgeous cel shaded adventure...

by Chris Buffa on Wednesday, May 12, 2004

Namco's Tales of Symphonia is quite the meaty RPG. Clocking in at 80 hours, it's a combat feast supported by gorgeous cel shaded visuals and pretty anime cut scenes. The story is also quite interesting. As the hero Lloyd, you're out to save your world from evil, but before you can embark upon your quest you're faced with a huge problem. You see, your world is connected to another, and if yours survives, the other will be destroyed! What will you do!?!

The game features four player support and the ability to map attacks to the analog stick, and I came away very impressed with what Namco's put together. Tales is a long adventure, and I certainly hope the end justifies the means.
