Tales Of Destiny

By: Namco

Reviewed By: Mystro

Well, Tales of Destiny is a great game but also a poor game a well. The plot line of this story is based around a kid named Stahn, who falls asleep on board a ship and is accused of being a criminal because an important item is being sent to a kingdom. Well you all know where this goes, monsters get on board and wreck the whole ship. Lucky Stahn high-tails it out of there.

Battle System:
Well the battle system is nice because you get to move your character around and attack any monster on the screen. One of the bad points is that when you are done attacking a monster your character will move back to where you first started, but sometimes it doesn't.

Music:
The music in this game wasn't really that great. Battle music wasn't that bad, but when you go to the over world or the other world (Near End Of Game) they sound bad, and really doesn't go with this game.

Visuals:
The FMV's in this game were good. I enjoyed seeing some of them, because they reminded me of Lunar: SSSC. Also though out the game the graphics were impressive. Lots of effects and styles.

All said and done, this game was great, had a great story and feel, and lots of secrets. I beat the game in 30 hours, but to get higher levels then I was it will take probably 50 or so hours to get the highest level in the game, which I don't know what it is. Have fun with it and play the second installment.
