This game is a great and successful sequel of the Tales of Symphonia. Like expected, the graphic is well done, the gameplay is so much better but the World Map isn't like it used to be. That's why I find it the only negative thing about this game and that is the new World Map. Other than that, It's a fantastic game!
Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk is the continuation of Tales of Symphonia from the Game Cube era. Due to Loyd's and Collette's efforts, the land has merged and this led to a change in climate and natural environment. Aside from the environmental disturbances, the social gaps between the former continents Silverland and Teseara are getting wider.
Since Teseara is prosperous and technically advanced, its residents has always been looking down on Silverland. Being unfairly treated, the Silverlands blame Teseara, Loyd and Collette for their misfortunes. Skirmishes and violence become increasingly intense and eventually leads to the blood bath of Panacosta where large numbers of innocents die.
The sequel to the popular RPG features both old and new heroes and wraps up the lose ends from the previous game. Prove to the people that creatures of different races can live together in peace, this much awaited game features a battle system which allows you to make allies out of beasts and monsters.
Cool Game for ps2 this 2D game is really fun to play. the story of this RPG game won't make you bored to play, always make you want to continue playing. ;3
it has some alternative ending. so it's enjoy to play more than one playthrough to see some different ending.
the music background sound is also good :D
Simply stunning It's not often I can return to a RPG world that Ilove and Tales of Sympohni2 allowed me to do just that, enter a familar world I've adventured back in the Gamecube and relive it all in the eyes of new characters. A definive purchase for anyone who played and finished the original. As for other people, you may be better off tracking down the previous title and then play this.

Wonderful game! A wonderful sequel to Tales of Symphonia. The battles have an enjoyable flow and you can enjoy it no matter how many times you play. The graphics have also gotten better compared to the previous game. The voice actors of the characters are all talented and well-done. The monster system is strange and new to Tales, but it proves to be quite enjoyable, allowing you to collect and watch your monsters get stronger.
A Tales Introduction for the Wii I have never played Tales of Symphonia on the Gamecube before, but I enjoyed this game very much. The premise is basically a Tales game with a Pokemon gameplay. Without giving away too much, the protagonist, Emil, has to capture monsters to fight alongside him. Although human characters will still join your party, monsters grow much faster and they remain with you after capture.
The story is pretty much predictable, but its strength lies in its presentation. The trio of Emil, Martha and Tenebrae are endearing and you emphatize with them as you keep playing. As this is a sequel, characters from Tales of Symphonia will also return, and this is a good enough reason for fans to purchase and play this. If you have never played Tales of Symphonia before you may have lesser enjoyment of the game, but like me, I found it fun regardless.
Graphics-wise, they are pretty good considering it is on the Wii, and retain the feel of Tales games like Symphonia and Abyss. The skits feature from previous Tales games has been updated with voice and are still as hilarious as ever. The skits alone make up a reason to purchase and play this game. I have never heard the original Japanese voices, but I find the English dubbing satisfactory. Nobody is being overly annoying or bland unlike some games.
Considering the range of RPGs available for the Wii, this is one worth getting if you are a RPG or Tales fan.
PlayStation 2 review. Just making sure that this is for the PS2 version of this game (only released in Japan, thus is NOT in English).
Coming from the PAL Tales of Symphonia (which is in the slow 50hz in terms of gameplay), this game is marvelous. It flows so much faster, the battles are wonderful, and it has extra features from the GCN version such as new Hi-Ougi's/Mystic Artes, and new boss attacks. I recommend this to any Tales fan! I'd suggest playing the English version first if you don't understand Japanese.
