http://games-download.awardspace.com Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World is a lighthearted action role-playing game that reacquaints fans of the GameCube original with a wealth of familiar locations and faces. Although those who appreciated its predecessor's lovable characters and fast-paced battle system will undoubtedly be thrilled with New World's striking similarities, the game does little to progress beyond its forbearer aside from adding a superfluous monster-pact system. Additionally, those looking for a greater gameplay-to-cutscene ratio and a clearer, more interesting plot may be baffled by how drastically New World comes up short.
The game returns you to Tethe'alla and Sylvarant, two worlds finally reunited by the birth of a new World Tree. Unfortunately, world regeneration came with a price; the death of the old World Tree has unbalanced the world, causing climate change and crazed monsters to strike every town. Marta, a girl with a special gem, is seeking to restore the balance by awakening Ratatosk, lord of monsters, who should stop the monster attacks and fix the disastrous weather. A young orphan boy named Emil soon joins her in exchange for the power to avenge his parents' death. The duo quickly meets numerous characters from the game's progenitor, but you may be disappointed if you're hoping to play with your favorites, given that you have zero control over who joins or leaves your party. Furthermore, though various plot points and background information are periodically explained, the storyline is an intimidating, convoluted mess.
Exploration is restricted due to the fact that you don't get to do any on the world map, which features straightforward, menu-based navigation from city to city without the hope of random encounters. This switch dramatically increases linearity and also causes a balancing issue because it limits leveling options to dungeons alone. Progressing through the plot too quickly can leave you woefully unprepared for bosses, forcing you to revisit old dungeon haunts and repeat battles to keep up to speed. The dungeons themselves are usually limited to three key areas and pose little challenge, with their sole difficulty stemming from illogical twists and a camera that obscures important puzzle elements or your next destination, which can be maddening.
Battles occur in real time and are mostly button-mashing affairs against easy foes that require almost no strategic planning short of running behind an enemy and slashing it in the back. You simply mash the attack button to perform combos that raise the attack gauge, which enables powerful unison attacks with allies. Artes, the game's special attack and magic system, include a healthy slew of options for those who enjoy spamming devastating magic between extensive combo strings. Your AI teammates are usually intelligent enough to back you up, but when their behavior turns idiotic, you may have to issue tactical orders via the battle menu. What's disappointing is that you're unable to set general targets for your party; this lack is quite vexing when you encounter healing enemies because it's impossible for you to order your teammates to attack the healer, and battles are significantly lengthened as a result. You can also combat your party's stupidity by switching between allies, thereby seizing direct control, or by enlisting up to three friends to follow your lead, which is great fun and eliminates any targeting fuss.

ToS2: Emil Combo 2by swillo17,035 views
this game is awesome I'm currently on my second playthrough ^_^ this time using Marta as my main character and I must say I enjoy fighting as her more than playing as Emil there is more variety in controlling her and I don't have to worry about healing since I have Fenia on my side ^_^
