DESCRIPTION
Namco's "Tales" series of action RPGs makes its debut appearance on the Wii in this spin-off of the 2004 title Tales of Symphonia. Taking place two years after the original game combined the worlds of Slyvarant and Tethe'alla, Dawn of the New World puts gamers in charge of a new hero named Emil, who must help deal with all the sociological problems caused by the merging of the two worlds. The game takes advantage of the Wii's graphical and motion-sensing capabilities, and the series' trademark real-time battles are bolstered by a new "free-run" system, dynamic unison attacks, and a strategic elemental system. Gamers embarking on their quest can capture and collect more than 200 unique monsters, each capable of garnering experience points and growing into stronger — and in some cases, completely new — creatures. Dawn of the New World also features unlimited party combinations, meaning players can customize their traveling party with any number of monsters and people, including key characters from the original game, such as Lloyd and Collete. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

“I beat this game and I must say that it is Tales quality, however this game is incredibly easy and lacks a world map, which sort of can make it feel like a Dungeon Crawler, however the depth of the story isn't bad (although could be more) and the character development is done nicely (although the magic of some characters will be lost on you if you haven't played the first ToS). Actually the appreciation of the game will be greatly diminished if you haven't played the first ToS, simply because of the subtle hints towards the first, the progression of certain major and minor characters, and how the story from the second one, fits really well with the first one. Although the battle system (pokemon) is different and I didn't too much care for, it didn't ruin the game.
Sidenote: I wish one character in particular from ToS actually was included... in this sequel, but I suppose it would take away from his role.”

“This game starts off very poorly, with both unlikable characters and a weak storyline. But after several hours the storyline hits its stride, and the characters (especially Emil) develop likable traits. I actually became hooked towards the end.”
