Great review; I've said this game is awesome a million times over, and it still is. Only two things I have to say, though:

1. Unfortunately, I am quite certain that Tales of Symphonia does not support progressive scan. The graphics are much cleaner when playing it via a component cable, but it isn't true 480p.

2. Who says ToS doesn't make a good multiplayer game? I played this game from beginning to end with a friend over the course of half a year! And it was AWESOME. This kind of game would be perfectly suited to multiplayer for people who live in dorms, now that I think about it.

Looking at the Gamecube 480p list, http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=649817, I don't see Tales listed so you're correct.
