Kombo Writes: "Tales of Symphonia 2: Dawn of the New World has a great battle system, voice-acting, and nice new elements like the monster gathering. Unfortunately, the linear story, dull characters, lack of exploration and mediocre graphics hold back the experience. There's no reason to make a sequel to a hit RPG with such a half ass effort. I'm not sure you can even classify this title as a true sequel and not just a spin off from the main storyline. If you are waiting for a true Tales experience, do yourself a favor and get Tales of Vesperia. If you don't have a 360 and this is your only option, then you'll find an average RPG with some strengths that get overshadowed by stronger flaws. "
