Update: August 7, 2008
«©NCSX» The Tales games from Namco have enjoyed stellar sales over the years and over 10 million copies have made their ways into the eager hands of couch-based-adventurers. The tenth Tales game ships this summer and it's an Xbox 360 exclusive. An androgynous hero named Yuri Lowell serves as the protagonist who teams up with a assortment of fellow travelers including a pink-maned girl named Estellise, a boy named Karol, a knight who goes by the name Flynn Scifo, and a pipe-clenching pooch named Rapido. The battle system in Vesperia is dubbed the "Evolved Flex-Range Linear Motion Battle System" which is just a convoluted way of saying "3D slashing." When the screen cracks and an encounter starts, players have full control of Yuri while the computer controls the other party members. The routine during an encounter is basically as follows: Run, attack, run, attack, while magical blasts explode on the battlefield from Yuri's fellow party members. Listen carefully to Rapido's utterances when he attacks - he sounds like Scooby Doo trying to snarl. After each battle, the heroes stand around with triumphant poses while the camera slowly pans across the screen. Jan Code: 4988648611290 View the back cover and screenshots on the main NCSX website.
