at first i didn't want to be so mean as to give this game one star, but then i realized that i would actually prefer to be playing Dawn of the New World than this.
it's really hard to point at anything specific that made me dislike this game, but it's a mix of the new combat (i've never been one to play tales games for their combat, but this one made the combat unfun for me in a way i couldn't easily brush off), the graphics that look... not-great even for a wii game, and with even worse stilted animations to match. the characters are pretty flat, and maybe they would've gotten better had i kept playing longer, but even some 20 hours in i couldn't bring myself to care about any of them.
none of those things are Lethally bad or anything, but they do add up to a game where i'd be hard-pressed to actually think of anything i personally found enjoyable :( and in a series where there's a lot of other games i like, i can't really justify playing more of this one when i could just pop in another.
