Tales of Legendia

"Tales of Legendia is a beautiful and engaging adventure that both suffers from and is strengthened by RPG conventions."

"Tales of Legendia represents Namco's first foray onto the PlayStation 2 with a sparkling new Tales game, and all the pieces seem to be coming together quite nicely for the North American release. We've delved into the game's initial chapters, and the RPG offers up a personality-packed cast, a high level of graphical polish, and a magical gameworld that we can't wait to explore even further."

"One last look at Namco's RPG before release. New media too."

"Despite its Jekyll and Hyde challenge level and run of the mill narrative, Tales of Legendia still has some extra gas in its tank. Characterization and overall production values are among the strongest we've seen in the genre for some time, and the battle system itself can get addicting even when your opponents aren't offering much in return. That said, Legendia is definitely slanted towards more action-oriented role-players who don't mind breezing through an easy twenty hours before getting to the real tests of skill. Regardless, when all is said and done the game is actually pretty rewarding... you just have be the patient type to enjoy it."
