Tales of Symphonia 2 - A very underrated RPG (Spoilers)

[MrT-Tar]

I loved the original but haven't got ToS2 yet, it came out within weeks of NSMBWii so I didn't get it at launch.  My cousin has it and says that it is underatted but is inferior to the original in every aspect bar battle system.  He also says that it is pretty much graphically the same as the original.
