That being said, Tales of Symphonia stands the test of time in other areas. Between the fuzzy textures and sharp edged polygons there were times where I found myself wishing I could play the game again in standard definition. The funny here regarding first of the two games in this collection, Tales of Symphonia, is that the new clearer resolution almost does a better job of highlighting the fact that everything else looks very dated. Of course the process is a little more difficult than this oversimplification, but I imagine you get the point. Ninety-nine percent of them are old games that get upscaled to a higher resolution, reboxed, and shipped out again. Being that Tales of Symphonia Chronicles is actually two games, I’m going to touch more on the sequel (a game which I had neglected to play previously) more so than the original mostly to keep the review at a readable length.

Oh, I’m not talking about Tales of Symphonia…I’m talking about its sequel Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. Take it from me this is much harder for some games than others. I also believe that even if a game is cramping one’s style I think it’s important to recognize the appeal or the draw of it and how it may bring other people in and get them playing. Personal opinions will always shine through to an extent, and although this is something that is should be avoided you will catch a hint of it now and then from anyone. I believe that one of the most important jobs as a reviewer is to remain neutral to look and approach everything from an objective standpoint, to banish nostalgia and remove rose colored glasses if you will.
