I know not too many people are RPG fans but if you are and you haven't tried Tales of Vesperia yet, I really suggest that you do. This is one of the best and newest Tales games out there, also one of my favorites. At first glance most people may think this game sucks because of it's graphics or it's an RPG, at least in America anyway, but you can't judge a book by its cover. The graphics may not be on par with other 360 games but if you can get over the fact that they aren't, I just didn't care, then you'll realize how beautiful this game actually looks. The storyline is pretty good and ties in all together greatly. the skits at sometimes can be stupid and pointless but most of the time they're hilarious. The gameplay is like most of the tales games, and I like how it's not random battles like in the older Tales games or like in Pokemon. The gameplay is simplistic yet challenging and fun. The game is about 50 hours, maybe longer if you have to level grind a bit. All and all this is a great game, I gave it a 5/5 because it is one of the newest and best RPGs you'll find nowadays. Also I'd like to see you try and get all the achievements, lol.

This is the first Tales game I have played, and I was hooked from the beginning. An RPG with a real-time battle system is always fun, and Tales of Vesperia was no exception. The characters were memorable and if you're looking to put plenty of hours into the game, there are plenty of sidequests to do if you'd like to fully complete the game. I rate the game a 4 out of 5 overall because the game did have a few negatives. I felt the ending could have been a little longer and showed in more detail what happened after the journey was over, but it was by no means terrible. The dialogue at times also had some very noticeable typos. Apart from these things, the game was excellent and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an RPG fix.

I've liked the Tales series from Namco, but they've had some not so good games in the series. This one is one of the better games of the series. I truly did like this game. The few cinema scenes are good and the character interaction is very good. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone.
