Tales of Symphonia Remastered

"Tales of Symphonia Remastered is a product that was only made to comply, so compared to remasters of other franchises, it falls far, far behind. On the other hand, if there are new users who want to play it for …"

"We&s;re admittedly a little mixed on Tales of Symphonia Remastered. Though the story is compelling, the character building is satisfying, and there&s;s lots of content to experience, Bandai Namco&s;s near-nonexistent efforts to scrub out the rough edges of this 20-ish …"

"Tales of Symphonia Remastered isn&s;t going to win any awards. It&s;s a soulless cash grab that has come with as little effort by Bandai Namco as possible. If you&s;re a die-hard fan, there may be something here for you, but …"

"Tales of Symphonia Remastered is not the best version of the GameCube original, but that doesn&s;t mean it&s;s a bad experience. The story still holds up, combat is still exciting, and the characters are some of the best in the …"

"Tales of Symphonia Remastered comes at an odd time. The excellent new version of Dead Space just came out and Metroid Prime Remastered showed how it can be done too. This remaster of a classic JRPG then comes with what …"

"I can see why Tales of Symphonia is considered a favorite in the series. Like other entries, it’s a solid experience with fun combat and a compelling story, but it shows its age in the modern gaming landscape. It doesn’t …"
