In a genre where Nintendo fans were not praised with a lot of games back then, Namco took the effort and released a completely new game for the Gamecube, and many argue it is the best in the Tales series. The game gives you a nice storyline and great characters along with great gameplay of 50+ hours of balanced playtime, you are always eager to find out where to go next and fights are always challenging, but never frustrating or requiring hours of grinding.
