Product Description
Set two years after the events of the award-winning Tales of Symphonia, Dawn of the New World introduces two new young heroes, Emil Castagnier and Marta Lualdi, as they journey to find the cause of a catastrophic change in their world. Crossing paths with fan-favourite characters such as Lloyd, Colette and Sheena, the brave adventurers will also encounter a spirit known as Ratatosk, lord of all monsters, who will grant them new and incredible powers over the fearsome creatures that now roam the land.
Debuting a major new gameplay system for the Tales series, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World allows players to capture more than 200 unique monsters that they face in battle. Players can feed these monsters to make them more powerful, and even evolve them into several new fearsome forms. Up to three monsters can be taken into any battle situation, offering unique benefits against enemies and imparting new strategic depth to the Tales series’ lauded real-time battle system.
Brand new content exclusive to the PAL version of Tales of Symphonia™: Dawn of the New World include the Gallery Mode and head accessories. Unlocked once the game is completed, the Gallery Mode includes a Skits Library containing viewable skits of the gameplay, and an Image Library with a wealth of design sketches, illustrations, pack art and more. The game also contains a number of new themed masks and head accessories for Emil and Marta which are exclusive to the PAL version and allow players to customise the characters in battle and will also add new special effects during fights.
Featuring a massive cast of returning playable characters, Dawn of the New World offers complete freedom in creating a custom party that best suits the needs of each enemy encounter. Up to four players can enjoy the full game together cooperatively, working together to strategically complete each battle.

Fun:
If you like the Tales games and played Tales of Symphonia then you'll probably forgive this game its flaws, but still be a little disappointed.
The battle system is great fun. Meeting the old cast is quite entertaining too. The story isn't so bad, but it doesn't really stand up to the previous game, and it kind of makes you wonder why they bothered making a sequel instead of a completely new world. The new characters say and do pretty embarrassing things a lot of the time too.
I was really disappointed until I made it through the first couple of villages, then it really started to grow on me. The old cast and hearing the old battle music in some areas kept me entertained. And the battle system really is great fun.
I enjoyed it after the first few hours, but I'm aware its not the best that Tales have to offer.

Fun:
Being a big fan of the original, I was excited to receive this game for Christmas.
I have several irks with the game, which I will outline before I give the good things with it.
1) it's far too short. Far. Too. Short. The gamecube version was spanned over two worlds, Tethe'alla and Sylvarant. And since this is spanned over the same two worlds merged, you'd expect it to be big? Wrong. 20 hours into the game and I'm on the last 'quest' of chapter 7 of 8 chapters. Sure, you can do the mini-quests with the Katz Guild, but it's just NOT the same.
2)the storyline is a little lame and in a way, doesn't fit in with the original storyline.
3) the bosses are a LOT easier. I mean ALOT. I remember spending frustrating hours with the original trying to get the best strategies to defeat Yggdrasill. But in this, it's a little easy to beat.
Overall, I think it's a game that's suitable for the casual gamer and not the hard-core rpg. I'm not sure if I'd play it again because of the short play life, but I'd definately recommend it if you like rpgs

The Worst 3D Tales Game Ever Made.
