Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World is a pretty decent RPG, but it just feels like Namco Bandai didn't really devote as much time into the development as they could have. The main characters are very difficult to care about and the combat system seems quite unrefined. There is too much reliance on levelling to compensate for its deficiencies, which is a shame because it can actually be quite fun to use sometimes.
The returning characters from the original don't really add much either, and when they appear in battle, they have stock levels and stock gear. Overall it just feels like a game that was made to appease the fans of the series, not to try and entice new people to get involved.
