I got it, i played it, i put it down....and never went back to play it again. Yes, if your a HUGE tales of fan like me, you probably will be disappointed :P. It gets extremely repetitive the first hour you play it with the fetch quests and dungeon crawling plot line. Honestly this is no Tales of game at all, all you do is get a quest, then do that quest, get another quest, do that quest, get another and so on. The one thing that made me not break this game disc in half is that previous loved tales of characters were included, and they join your team when you do enough quests. I would give this a 1/10, for true tales of games are AMAZING, with good graphics, okay music (some really good music), wonderful combat, exciting involved plot linkes, and good controls. This game had NONE of that, the only thing it had was the graphics (kinda), and the music (okay not really at all :P).
THE GOOD:
graphics 7/10
music 5.5/10
characters 8/10
THE BAD:
plot line 1/10
menu visuals/wording visuals 1/10
EVERYTHING ELSE 1.8/10 |  | Reviewed on 2008-05-05      Best RPG for the PSP Tales Of The World: Radiant Mythology is hands down the Best RPG for the PSP. This is a game that you can pick up and play for half an hour but you also can get lost for hours on end. I would highly suggest this game for anybody looking for a good RPG for a portable game system |  | Reviewed on 2008-03-30      Not just for Tales fans. Having never played any games in the Tales series for much longer than an hour, I was a little worried about buying this game. A friend of mine highly recommended the game, but he was a huge fan of the series. Well having played the game for dozens of hours, I can say that if you're a fan of action-RPGs, this game will suit you.
This game is meant to be a sort of fanservice for people who have played any of the Tales games, such as Tales of Symphonia, or Tales of the Abyss. Several characters from those games are present in this one, and play parts in the quest to save this world. You play as a character you create, assisted by a miniature creature named Mormo. Tales veterans will be delighted as Tales characters seem to come out of every outface of the game's plot. They can be recruited to your party, but usually only on a temporary basis. Having never played a Tales game, there was no nostalgia or anything for me, but I'm sure people who have played as Stahn or Luke before will be happy to do so again.
The game's plot, while not anything revolutionary, is sufficient for a game which is meant to be a action RPG / Tales showcase. As mentioned before, you're basically yourself, and your mission is to save the world with the help of Mormo and eventually a large cast of Tales characters. You'll run into a few original characters as well, including the main antagonist - Widdershein. If you've played Final Fantasy VII, think of a kiddie Sephiroth, and you'll get the picture. The characters are fairly well developed through cut scenes and conversations.
The graphics are great for a PSP title, the music isn't bad, and the voice acting is great - no qualms there.
This game has a lot or replay value. Finding rare weapons through quests and repeatedly killing enemies can be a rewarding experience since they show up on your character (for example, when you ninja leggings, you'll see them on your character's feet), and mastering different classes means there's plenty of ways to play the game if you get tired of being a warrior or a priest(ess).
So despite knowing next to nothing about the Tales franchise, I found this game to be very enjoyable and fun to play. At current, I've got over 50 hours of playtime on the game, and it's still appealing to play. If you've played any Tales games and enjoyed them, then this is an excellent buy. If you're as new as I was to it, then I'd encourage you to give the game a go.
|  | Reviewed on 2007-11-03      Tales of the PSP It is the game I bought a PSP for last month. Having played Tales of the World 3: Narakiri Dungeon (Japanese Import), Symphonia, Phantasia (Game Boy Advance Version) and Tales of the Abyss, I can tell you your money is well spent when you buy this game.
Like the other Tales games, Radiant Mythology unique battle system keeps you focused at all times. Although the Story and seemingly broken customization system leaves you wanting, the fact that characters from every Tales game released up to now is in it (some playable) is enough for any Tales fan out there.
It's an awesome buy for anyone looking to try something new. I'd reccommend getting it through Amazon as it's become near-impossible to find in stores. |  | Reviewed on 2007-09-16      Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology is the Best Game Ever! I have never played a Tales game before, so my review is not comparing it to others. Before I got this game, my favorite game had been Splinter Cell Essentials. This had been getting some reviews that were WAY too low, and I think Tales has been, too.
This game is AWESOME! The real-time battle system, the different classes and learning new Artes, the different quests and monsters, the AMAZING GRAPHICS and tons more makes this game one of the funnest games on the PlayStation Portable system. If you are a RPG or PSP fan, you must have this game!!!! |  |
