Editorial Review:
In Tales Of The Abyss, you'll enter the life of Luke fon Fabre, sole heir to a family of aristocrats. He was kidnapped seven years ago, and the shock left him with no memories of his life before. For his own protection since his return, he has been confined to a quiet, boring life within the family's residence, learning little of the world beyond the palace walls. Luke is suddenly thrust into the outside world, caught in the workings of the Order of Lorelei, keepers of the prophecy known as the Score. No longer in the shelter of the palace, Luke must get along in the confusing and often hostile world. He knows nothing about those who might be his friends, or those who already are his enemies.

Rating:  - Probably the Best Tales Game on the PS2
Gameplay: 9/10
Tales of the Abyss has a similar battle system to Tales of Symphonia, but with the addition of Free Run. Free Run allows players to move their characters completely in 3D, so they can circle around enemies and run all over the battlefield to evade attacks or reach an enemy's unguarded area. This new ability actually makes the game much easier, however, and many enemies, even difficult bosses, can be easily defeated by having a character lure an enemy around and another ... Read More
Rating: - Tales of the Abyss: an excellent game
Tales of the Abyss is exactly what the Tales series needed to boost its brand name popularity in America. A unique, innovative battle system combines with hours of memorable gameplay to create a wonderful experience, enhanced by the New Game Plus features available should the player choose to play the game more than once.
Although the graphics may initially put off gamers who prefer the more smooth, photorealistic look of the Final Fantasy games, the backgrounds are remarkably in-depth ... Read More
Rating: - Another great game from Namco Tales Studios!
Tales of the Abyss came in October 2006. Even though I started with the Japanese version, I was NOT disappointed with the english version. Here's what I thought about it.
First of all, the music in this game is great! The first thing you notice is that the localization team KEPT the opening song for the game, karma. This is the first in the series, as the other Tales games brought to the US have had the opening songs chagned to something not as good. The song karma is remixed several times ... Read More
Rating:  - If you like Tales you'll like this
With Tales of Legendia being a disappointment to many, this game was a return to form for the Tales of Series. If you liked Tales of Symphonia, everything will be familiar: the art style, music, and gameplay that made many new fans of the series. Interestingly, the games protagonist is the prince of a Kingdom who due to a kidnapping when he was young has been kept inside the palace with only a servant as company. The game really begins when there is a attack on the palace and he and one of the attackers ... Read More
Rating: - Tales of the Abyss
"Tales of the Abyss" is another game in the series for the PlayStation 2, made by those who made "Tales of Symphonia".
Because of that, it shares many similarites to that in how it plays. The game is all in 3D, and you're able to move in 3D on the battlefield. This adds a lot to the game, but also makes it a little easier as well, as it's not a difficult task to just go around an enemy. The game also introduces things like FOFs that make fighting a very fun experience to just mix and match you ... Read More
