Multiplayer Wii Games FTW!

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

Ahhhh…One of my favorite games! In this game, you’ll find yourself hacking, slashing, murdering, massacring and/or stabbing things like petty thieves to great demons.

The game is incredibly fun, but not quite as fun as the original. Of course, the sequel usually isn’t as good as the original.

The game also features voice acting, even for most of the really minor things, such as skits. No Nintendo WFC, but that just gives you more reasons to invite your buddies over!

Pros
  • Funny skits
  • Giant plot-twists
  • You’ll be revisiting formerly seen areas from the first game
  • Monster breeding
  • The old characters you know and love reappear (Even Kratos in a cameo!)
  • Makes you realize even the cruel, sadistic characters are boring (you’ll know what I mean)
Cons
  • Not quite as good as the original
  • You’ll be revisiting formerly seen areas
  • Old characters are unchangeable, and can’t level up

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World Gameplay

Controls

The game has basic controls. Use the A button to attack, and B to use special attacks, called Artes and skills. Just set one to a motion, and press B (Sometimes

with a direction) to fire away with your skills.

Not complex enough? Play it, and you’ll most likely yourself hooked (I guarantee the first one will have you hooked (No refund available if you’re not hooked))

Gameplay

The game only lightly uses the motion/pointer known as the Wiimote as the sorcerer’s ring (sounds familiar?)

You play as Emil a young boy who acts like a coward.  As the story goes on he gets bolder and bolder, eventually becoming your expected generic hero character.

The game features some extremely hard puzzles, especially at some familiar places like volt’s temple and a lot of other familiar places you have ventured to in the first game.

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World Multiplayer

In the multiplayer, you’re basically playing through the story with one dominant player. He will control the character in the first slot in the outside world, and in

Acombat, the others assimilate control.

Oh yeah!  And no, Kratos doesn’t appear, but Zelos does. Have fun bickering over who’s who! Note: Creatures are non-playable.

Conclusion

The game is an excellent, as well as funny, adventure/action/puzzle game. The game enables one-to-four players, but remembers to tell your friends to bring their OWN wiimote, unless you have spares.

Anyways, the game is an entertaining action hack and slash in its own right, with the little serial killer (Seriously, you kill at least twenty humans!) and the evil little orbs of power.

The game is extremely fun, without any camera problems! This game is a must have for any Wii owners (You’re here ‘cause your either a Wii owner or a soon-to-be one, right?), specifically ones who have played Tales of Symphonia, and/or like action

if you’re interested, I recommend you to buy this game, but you can rent it first at Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!
