Tales of Vesperia

The first high-definition installment of the Tales role-playing series, Tales of Vesperia features a decade of gameplay heritage and storytelling pedigree. Featuring a real-time battle system, players can chain together powerful attacks to create combos on the fly and give detailed commands to the rest of their party to create cohesive battle strategies. All-new battle features such as Fatal Strikes, Burst Artes, and a multi-stage Over Limit provide more tactical depth to each encounter, while series traditions such as cooking and skits return with new twists to delight longtime fans.

  • Review: Tales of Vesperia
  • The first time you watch the opening cinematic of Tales of Vesperia, you're like, "Man, this is the most generic thing I've ever seen." Then you start playing the game and you get to know the characters better and you get into some battles and that's when it happens-you start to understand the totally sappy bonds that all the characters keep going on about. It's all about love and friendship, teamwork, and exploring a world you've only scratched the surface of. Pretty soon you're humming the theme song and watching the opening cinematic over and over again. I just wish the actual game itself had left me feeling as warm and fuzzy as the intro.

    THE BOTTOM LINE: This interesting installment in the Tales series is probably best suited to hardcore RPG nuts and fans who loved the previous titles.
