Tales of Symphonia - Dawn of the New World.

While the 1st ToS for the Game Cube was simply great, this one was... nothing like it. Crappy characters (Emil and Martha are pretty much the WORST characters I've EVER seen/played/whatever), the story was boring as hell, it was totally predictable, nothing surprising. The monster system was a bad joke, not only did you HAVE to have them in your party (unless you had some of the cameos), you couldn't even control it. You couldn't even start the battle with e.g. Zelos, you had to start the battle with Emil or Martha (that wasn't THAT bad, but it did get annoying, after a while).
Also, you couldn't level up the camoes or change their equipment. The voice acting of the new voice actors was bad. Nowhere near Chaos Wars or Arc Rise Fantasia, but still bad.
And the gameplay was shitty as hell. AFAIK it used the TotA engine, but it didn't play as good as TotA.
Even the Hi-Ougis were... crap. They looked more like some crappy movies, which didn't excited me in any way.
I really wished the battle system was more like ToV.

Right now, this piece of garbage is collecting dust in a corner of my room. And I don't even consider play this ever again.
