If you have a Wii, I recommend this game. Just ignore the voice acting and you will be fine. I'm 25+ hours into it and I haven't even scratched the surface of what is here.
It's linear, so don't expect a "Bethseda type game" (Fallout or Elder Scrolls), but it reminds me of older Final Fantasies in a good way. The story is good, the RPG elements are good and the battle system is good.

I've heard terrible things about this game, that the plot is one dimensional and that the voice acting is terrible, but I haven't had a chance to try it myself. Personally I'm longing for some great RPGs on the Wii, I'm gonna get Arc Rise Fantasia simply so that Nintendo will keep putting out RPGs, but my personal hope is for a new Fire Emblem.
Tales of Symphonia is allright, but the pokemon aspect is weak (I leveled up a monster to evolution which resets its abilities, and all it turned into was the same monster only red WTF and the strategy guide doesn't come with a pokedex type guide that lets you know what you're doing with the monsters and what they'll evolve into) Fire Emblem was great but had a disappointing support system (it was awesome that they made every character able to support any other character, but they did so by making the conversations the same no matter who you joined with, so you got a lot less character development than previous games) Oopona is too kiddie for me to try, and I enjoyed Zelda but prefer non-action RPGs.
From what you say (and it's nice to hear from someone who likes it) that the game is good, just a bit linear and it's funny that even someone who likes the game thinks you have to ignore the voice acting.

The voice acting is horrid. Some of the lines are funny (I think Nico is hilarious.), but most of the voice actors are off.
The game does fall into the classic JRPG trap, but I'm enjoying it and am having fun. That's all that matters.
