Namco/Bandai Games Hands on, We cheer, Tales, Active Life, and Digimon

By  •  July 16, 2008

 

*Pictures coming soon for these games…Internet is very slow here

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World (Wii) was my favorite of Namco/Bandai’s showings.  The game takes everything the first Tales of Symphonia game on the Gamecube did well, and makes it 10 times better.  The battle system is still very free-form and allows for a number of new combos and strategies. The addition of a complete monster capture/training system is a welcome one.  There are almost 220+ monsters that can be caught in the game and each have their own evolutions and level up as in most RPGs (very similar to Pokemon).  Every monster levels up just like your characters and can be assigned strategies throughout any battle.

Another huge addition is 4-player multiplayer support.  Up to 4 of your friends can join your party at any time in the game and take control of one of your party members to control themselves.  I didn’t get to test this feature out, but I’m really looking forward to when the game finally releases in the States.
