"The tales series is awesome"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Having been jealous that America had this game and we would never get it, it was a relief to know that Nzers would finally be able to play this tales game. Being a huge fan of the Tales of Symphonia for the gamecube influenced this purchase and the overall product doesn't dissapoint, its a good first RPG for the 3DS. Although the jargon withint the story can get a bit hard to understand I definitely reccomend this for the RPG enthusiast.

"Best RPG on 3DS yet!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Being a Huge 3DS Fan and a launch day purchaser for both current models, there was one game that I was hoping was gonna be released in NZ in stores, it never came. But thanks to Mighty Ape this brilliant 3DS RPG (while originally on the PS2!) they brought us RPG fans, is a briliant and hilarious game from Namco Bandai. 5 Stars all round!

"Reminisce of a great game"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I played this game back when it was released on PS2. I'm glad this game is available on a handheld. For Tales fans, or RPG fans who missed this game, this is a recommended Tales series.

Description

Tales of the Abyss was first released on PlayStation 2 in Japan in 2005, followed by a US release in 2006. Tales of the Abyss for Nintendo 3DS is an adaptation of the PS2 title for the 3DS handheld system and the first time the title has been available in Europe. In Tales of the Abyss, the player can move freely around enemies creating faster-paced combat. It offers a rich and complex scenario in a fantasy setting with anime-inspired characters designed by the mangaka Kosuke Fujishima.

Luke fon Fabre, sole heir to a family of aristocrats, was kidnapped seven years ago, and the shock left him with no memories of his life before. For his own protection since his return, he has been confined to a quiet, boring life within the family's residence, learning little of the world beyond the palace walls. Luke is suddenly thrust into the outside world, caught in the workings of the Order of Lorelei, keepers of the prophecy known as the Score. No longer in the shelter of the palace, Luke must get along in the confusing and often hostile world. He knows nothing about those who might be his friends, or those who already are his enemies. Alone, naive, and spoiled, Luke must learn of friendship and sacrifice, of duty and choice, of what is written and what will be. The world collapsing around him, Luke's actions could save the world or destroy it.
