Tales of Vesperia - Xbox 360 reviews



So, the new game Tales of Vesperia has been released,and gamers will have a chance to play,and discover what the full game holds.
Now, if you have played enough of this game/finished the game,etc,and have enough to form an opinion,and if you would like to share that opinion on this game,and what you liked/disliked about it,please make a vote in the poll.

A 10(Outstanding) should only be given for a landmark game that sets new rules, a 9(Excellent) for a truly excellent game without a fundamental flaw, and an average game that does things right but nothing special should get a 5(Average),not a 7 like some reviews would have you believe.

Note:Vote spoilers,and general silly votes(low scores),for no apparent reason,will be treated as vote spoiling,and either the member involved,will have the vote cancelled,or infractions will be given.

Re: Tales of Vesperia - Xbox 360 reviews

I am really not a fan of these jap type RPG`s but with the current market saturated with other games i thought i would take a punt on tales of vesperia i am now searching out other RPG`s.

This game was graphically superb with a story to boot, i found myself playing the game just to carry on with the story the gameplay is intuitive along with ranking up and learning new skills.

The mechanics of the game with the fight sequences are also a real surprise this game is such a sleeper hit it will also be difficult to get hold of soon and i recommend that even if you are not a fan of these types of games like myself i would get a cheeky copy before all the rush of games start and before you cant find it.

A solid 9/10 if there was some Live co-op as i think there could of been some kind of scope for it would of got an easy 10 mustard game

Re: Tales of Vesperia - Xbox 360 reviews

I have not enjoyed an RPG this much since the days of Final Fantasy 7 or Suikoden II on the PS2. I'd say it is the best RPG in the current generation of consoles. Everything about this game has me completely enthralled, from the stunning art style, beautiful cut scenes to the humorous dialogue, eventful and twist filled story to the engaging battle system and customizability of each character.

Currently, I'm 60 hours into Tales and am side questing before entering the final 'dungeon'. Unlike many other RPGs, this is one that I will definitely be playing through again.

I cannot recommend this game enough.

Re: Tales of Vesperia - Xbox 360 reviews

I tried this after reading everyone else's reviews, and now I'm hooked! I'm a huge JRPG fan, and this brings me right back to my old Final Fantasy days. It's definitely worth checking out.
