Tale of Symphonia

   Tale of symphonia is a RPG that used a thing called Multi-Line Linear Motion Battle System that is a improved version of the Linear Motion Battle System that was used in Tales of Phantasia.The controls are great and the game looks good. you start out as a person named Lloyd in a one room school sleeping in the corner standing up while carrying two heavy buckets of water and school was started so after the the teacher named Raine Sage left the class to check the beam of light that came from the temple Lloyd got the Idea to go and check it out to so he convinced his friends Genis Sage the 12 year old mage and Colette Brunel the chosen one to go to the temple (Colette had to go to the temple after all she is the chosen one) after that they went on a Quest to save the regenerate the world of Sylvarant. I don't want to tell all of the story but there is a cool plot twist after all that is only 1/3 of the game.

The combat in this game is fast and can get hard at times. You start out with a art called demon fang wich is a long range attack but you Quickly learn moves like sonic thrust and sword rain. You will soon able to use moves that are impossible to do in real life like tempest thrust when you fly into the air and at the same time make youself in to a saw that is spining and after landing on your feet thrust your sword at the foe. You keep getting new attacks until you do awome combos. I forgot spell casters can cast cool and powerful spells and there are healers keep them alive.
