Tales Of The Abyss (The Best Namco Ever Offered)
3 May 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Story 10/10 Right from the start when Luke a replica of Asch is thrown into the Valley of Tataroo with a young woman named Tear a story unlike other unfolds, a legend. Everything in this story is just beautiful,and filled with hope and joy, you have a large and lovable cast. But in the end it all comes down to Tear and Luke, I remember always the last thing Tear said before Luke vanished "I Love You" Tear is a strong and proud soldier so when she does i actually shed some tears. Everything in this game should be seen and cherished yet the ending is surely the best in the game. You are going to want to finish all in the game, it only takes about 2-3 hours for the story to truly begin to unfold and believe when it does it goes on with a huge bang.

Gameplay 10/10 There is a lot of things to do in this game it is filled with a lot of extras even without the main story it can hold on for about 10-20 hours of more game play, and since the Main story takes about 40-60 hours to beat it is incredible, the battles are very likable, and there are many mini games. The world of TOA is huge there are many places to have fun in and many places to run around in, and there is also which i personally like a huge big vast world map you can fully interact around, with, many weird places. The story is what holds this game up from all standards but the game play is as good as the story so you wont feel left out at all.

Music/Sound 10/10 You can go wrong with music from Tales Of sometimes it may be a little boring but for the most it is really good at setting the mood for a great big game, I personally love the opening from Bump Of Chicken - Karma it sets the mood many times and is just perfect for this strong game. The voices from the actors are a lot more then you would ask for in a role playing game, everyone is likable even Mieu the little THING. The ending music in the game is also very good, not as good as the opening but still a lot good.

Graphics 9/10 The Graphics are also really good many times, sometimes it may not look as awesome but when you see other places again it all will make up for the lack of graphics in other places. TOA is filled with Anime like earlier games and that does a lot the anime is with a little 3d and it all are just really good at setting the story to use.

Score 10/10 I gave this game 10/10 because it is worth every last penny you got and every last time you have, don't miss this game. I promise you that you will be surprised by how great it really is. Love it don't sell it, play it when you are down or happy either way it will just touch you like no other you have seen.

"Why are you here?" "This place has a nice view of hod...and also i promised one" (Crying)...
