If players are feeling a little fatigued by all the excitement Tales of Symphonia offers they can pass their battle move decisions over to the Nintendo GameCube and it will do it all for you!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis epic role-playing quest offers players real flexibility in terms of character building and storyline decisions. With its endless adventure possibilities, players should expect to be completely absorbed into the dark and magical experience which is Tales of Symphonia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTales of Symphonia has been developed for Nintendo GameCube by Namco. The Tales of series has had a long and successful history in Japan and this is the first time a Tales of game will be released in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoin the quest as Tales of Symphonia launches on Nintendo GameCube on 19 November across Europe priced at around 60 Euros.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTales of Symphonia is an RPG that starts off from the peaceful village of Iselia. Where Lloyd Irving is a student under the tutelage of Professor Raine Sage, who specializes in magic and archaeology. His school friend Colette Brunel has been rumored to be the daughter of an angel. She was born with a sacred stone in her hand, because of this she is the \"Chosen of Sylvarant\". The Chosen must complete the world regeneration, a quest to unlock magic seals and enter the otherworldly Tower of Salvation, to make the slowly dying world a true paradise. This will mean the end of the Desians, a race of half elves, who now dominate the land through work camps, fear, and force. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe characters develop not only through cut-scenes, many of which feature voice acting, but through what the game calls “skits”. These \"skits\" however, do not feature voice acting like the in-game cut-scenes. A warning is displayed on the bottom left hand side of the screen when a skit becomes available, it can then be activated by pressing Z. The Skit generally features two or more of the characters interacting. They will react to what is said and depending on the characters and the situation the results can be anywhere from comic to tragic. This system allows one to understand the feelings of each character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial features of the game include: Ex-Spheres, Strategy and Cooking. Ex-Spheres are special objects which enhance a character's abilities or may even grant new ones. These abilities can affect battle or have an effect outside of battle. Each Ex-Sphere will have a level of 1-4 each with more powerful abilities; up to four Ex-Spheres can be attached to each character. Strategy can be applied to CPU controlled players, for example making spell-casters attack a specific enemy or ordering them to stay behind the front-lines. An alternate way to heal characters is to cook. This is based on the specific character's skill to cook and the ingredients used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the game is spent, like most RPGs, in towns, dungeons, towers, sprawling world maps, and of course combat. Battles in Tales of Symphonia are fought in real-time. Only four members of your party can participate, each with unique fighting styles. As the game progresses, you are not restricted to only using Lloyd, all major characters are playable which allows you to switch your gaming style. Basic physical attacks are carried out with the A button and pushing the control stick in various directions. The B button is used for special physical attacks and casting spells. Often these special attacks can be linked from a basic physical attack to Special Attacks in progressing levels of 1-3. During a battle you run in a straight line and are able to jump over enemies. In Multiplayer up to 3 more players may partake in battles with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*** Data by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca
