Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology

"Radiant Mythology's certainly not bad, and given the dearth of quality PSP RPGs, it's recommendable -- barely. But with a huge roster of Tales favorites and one of the series' strongest battle systems at its disposal, I can't help but think it should've been much better."

"For a PSP RPG, it's pretty good, but for a Tales game, it's below par. Tales fans will love the references to other characters in the series and the humor, but the non-Tales crowd may get flustered at all the in-jokes."

"Tales fans will enjoy the familiar faces, but for everyone else, Radiant Mythology is just another formulaic RPG."

"With colorful graphics, a decent soundtrack (many of the songs are simple but catchy), 300 missions and countless hours of gameplay, it's hard to say too many negative things about Radiant Mythology. Unfortunately the one complaint that exists is what hurts the game the most, which is the feeling that you're nothing more than a glorified page sent on a bunch of pointless missions while trying to figure out how to save the world. This is extremely frustrating because you're supposed to be a hero and not an errand boy. Still, with amusing cutscenes involving different Tales characters and a solid battle system, fans of the series will more than likely be satisfied. That is, if they're not too busy harvesting potatoes."

"Radiant Mythology's brilliant battle engine and truckloads of fan service are strong points, but those elements are not nearly enough to push this game above the echelon."
