Topic: Kid Icarus Uprising or Tales of the Abyss?

Hey everyone! I am going to Iowa for Odyssey of the Mind and I want to know whether I should get Kid Icarus Uprising or Tales of the Abyss to play during my free time during those 4 days + the time on the plane. I have played Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of a New World and was immensely dissappointed during my 5 hours of play. Is the combat of Abyss better from that of the first bit of Dawn of the New World or about as bad? Also is Abyss going to have me running around towns so I can watch boring cutscenes or is it about fun gameplay? I would prefer people who have played (and beaten) both Abyss and Uprising to state which they prefer and why. If you have played 1 game state what you liked and didn't like about it. Also, could you give me an idea of how long each game is? I am left-handed; love Xenoblade, Chrono Trigger, and Fire Emblem; and love fast-paced action games.

REMEMBER THIS IS NOT A VS (THISGAME SUCKS) THREAD! GIVE GOOD REASONS FOR ME TO BUY ONE OF THE GAMES! FLAMERS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!

Thank you for your help.

Tales of the Abyss is the best Tales of game out there. Dawn of the New World was a good RPG but not a good Tales of RPG. Go with Tales of the Abyss for three reasons:

  • It's going to become rare in the next year unlike Kid Icarus
  • You've played games in the series before so you're somewhat used to it
  • It's fully updated in 3D. Not only are you buying the definitive version but I also think it has more side quests or something. (But either way it looks better and it's portable.)

Plus, Kid Icarus is a mess. Amazon. Ebay.

Just for you.

Tales of the abyss does not offer anything new, just the 3D( and even that wont make a difference) and it's not the best tales of games out there. Not even close. Anyway, if you are going to pick Tales of the abyss, prepare yourself for one of the most annoying main characters ever.
I dont have kid icarus yet, so i can't say anything about it. Probably the best reason to pick up this game is the first reason chrono said, and if you just want to "have fun" without making an effort, go for it.

Since you haven't played Tales of the Abyss before, I say pick that up, only because Uprising will be kinda awkward to play on the plane imo.

Kid Icarus Uprising. Best. Game. Ever.

My SD Card with the game on it is just as physical as your cartridge with the game on it.
I love Nintendo, that's why I criticize them so harshly.
