The first JRPG to reach the xbox 360, and it does so proudly.

User Rating: 7.8 | Enchanted Arms X360
By bigpeternelson | Review Date:
Enchanted Arms (EA) is a JRPG that is pretty much the same as all other rpg games. The only real difference is the battle system which takes placed with turn based combat but on a grid. It works the same and is actually very enjoyable - also some battles later on start to take some real strategy.

Gameplay:

The gameplay is as mentioned above a high point in EA. Not only is the combat fun but there are tons of golems to collect. A golem is sort of like pokemon, except they fight alongside you, and they are much much cooler. Not to much the sheer amount of them. The only downfall in the gameplay is the amount of random encounters in dungeons can be almost 1/8seconds. Though thankfully you have the option to skip them.

Graphics:

Another high point in the game is the graphics, though the game contains little pre-rendered cutscenes. The game still looks fantastic except for the occasional graphical problem.

Sound:

The voice acting is terrible. Though I accept it because I have never minded much the voices in games, there is an option to listen to the japanese voices. Sound in-game is pretty plain also -- nothing special.

Replayability:

Though I don't think I will go back through the game again soon once I beat it, the average length is something around 40hours which is more then enough. Side quests are few and far between sadly, but there are a few things that encourage another play through; mainly the golems.

Overall:

The game is worth a purchase for all rpg fans and those who are looking for a long game. Actually EA reminds me a shadowhearts 3 - a enjoyable but poorly made and rushed jrpg experience.
