Wii #1741 - Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World (Europe)

[elfsander]

Resident Evil

WTF?! Resident Evil 4 is way better than RE5, also Darkside Chronicles will be awesome.

"Wii gamers desperate for a role-playing game, particularly those that enjoyed the first Symphonia, might be able to overlook Dawn of the New World's tired gameplay and convoluted story." IGN.com

Just to create some balance...

Yes, people who think this is a sequel will be disappointed. It's only a spin-off.
But in my opinion it's better than the first ToS.

PS: Hopefully I can undub this one too. We'll see~

No, it's a sequel. The problem was it was treated like a spin-off during production (given an inadequate budget and small development cycle). It's the classic "Give Wii owners the inferior game, while giving the 360 and PS3 owners the real game" situation we are forced to live with. Castlevania, Resident Evil, Soul Calibur, Tales (no longer the case, with Graces), Silent Hill; each one of these are franchises that developers developed their core games on the HD consoles while the Wii was given shovelware. This isn't even counting the series that didn't even get a Wii 3rd string developer made title like Street Fighter, although you could argue TvC is suppose to be our substitute.

What's most insulting? They expect these games to not only do as well as the core games but better. Wii gamers might get treated like stupid consumers, but luckily sales figures shows the exact opposite, they are not falling for these inferior games.

You're calling RE4, Umbrella Chronicles, Darkside Chronicles, or the other remakes "shovelware"? Oh please. And the other games aren't shovelware, they're just bad.

Anyway, on the game, I've heard it's pretty mediocre. Crappy translation and a worse battle system than the original Symphonia. But that's only what I've heard, I haven't played it. Tales games don't interest me.
