I just tried the jp version Tales of Symphonia, I'll rate it 5.5 out of 10 at best.

graphic - 5/10: seriously namco need to put more effort on the Wii, level design and characters severely lack of textures, this game looks worst than some of the first generation ps2 game( at least it looks that way on my 50" Plasma TV).

Game control - 4/10: if you going to put action element during battle that require quick change on character's action then its better off you make the control work like a classic control with the wii remote only, instead implement the use of both nun chuck and Wii remote. Pressing that (-), (+), 1 , and 2 button is painfully frustrating when the action require a quick response.

Story - 3/10 this is based up to chapter two, The main character is a loser! The story is the typical evil empire slaughtering innocent civilian and a mysterious girl
flee from the army with a crystal on hand blah blah, then came the main boy character to save the day. one word sum it up - Boring!!


Ha chapter 2 and already rating the story.  well I guess your typical shooter you would have already played through it twice in that amount of time.

And graphics early ps2, lol.  Thats a good one.  Since the first symphonia game looked great and this one has been improved upon in every way in the graphics/art department.

Can't comment on gameplay though since haven't played it like you.  But I didn't change characters too much in battle on symphonia 1 anyway so depending on what + - are for and 1 and 2, i don't see it really mattering.  Plus I find it really easy to hit + and - buttons.  Metroid Prime anyone?    And the 1 and 2 buttons are terrible either.  (transforming in dragonball games)  But I doubt 1 and 2 are buttons you need to ever push quickly.  (when complaining about stuff you should tell us exactly what each button does, instead of saying these four buttons are hard to hit and quick change action.  You should explain a little what each does.  Like does 1 switch between characters or is it for a combo?)
