Line 15:
It started up with no GameCube logo opening. My first guess was that this is some type of homebrew game. Shit, how much did she pay for this? The select game screen looked like it belonged on a DOS computer, what with its bland black background with random, ugly, dark colored text. The only sound that played was the unimpressive beeps when you moved the cursor and selected something.
 
I picked Tales of Symphonia first, as that was what I wanted my mommy to get in the first place. The game started up fine. I watched the lovely opening animation. I was in the mood now! I played until I got to fight for the first time. I noticed something off with Lloyd's voice during the battle. His voice was a bit more childish sounding. It was almost like his and Genis‘Genis' voice clips were switched, and that may have been the case if it weren't for a few lines that were very uncharacteristic for the teenager: "No future… nothing for me." Lloyd was usually more of an upbeat character. I've watched many gameplay videos on this particular game and Lloyd never once murmured such. Lloyd moved slowly and wasn't very good in battle. My team must have been doing extremely miniscule damage judging by how many times I hit the damn things.
 
My party died in about 5 minutes. After that I took me be to the boring old menu screen. I didn't want to try again. I figured something like this might happen; the games run way too slow. For some reason it was only in battle mode, though. Also, something seemed unnerving about what Lloyd said. Instead I chose Billy Hatcher, curious to see what's wrong with this game.
