    This isn’t the best version of this game but if it’s your only option it will be just fine. If you have a way to play on a GameCube I would go with that. Overall still a fun game and great story! Not a bad pick up when on sale.

    As someone who has never played Tales of Symphonia before, I'm glad I was finally able to experience the classic! It's a little dated, but I'm a sucker for retro RPGs. Fast delivery time on Best Buy's part.

    Original GameCube was best, the loading time after world map battles is kinda annoying, but overall it's a good game. I enjoyed playing it again. It's a really great story and is what got me into the "Tales" games. Worth the price if you don't have your GC anymore.

    Tales of Symphonia was a good game! But this latest version is a disappointing mess of issues, play a different port instead... I think fine with it, maybe need fix!!!

    The story is amazing and the combat is unique. I have played many action rpgs but not like this one. The combat alone is worth the price.

    big fan of the original games and with the recent patches they made for compatibility, it seems that this remaster fits well and or lines up with the original gamecube/wii versions of this game.
