This game is not as bad as the reviewer said.
User Rating: 8.5 | Enchant Arm PS3
Enchanted Arms is not a bad game. It's actually pretty good. I actually waited for the PS3 version cause I heard the reviewers saying the English Dub was really bad and that the PS3 has both languages. I was very sceptical on buying this game for a whopping $60, but I finally bought it at last. I was very surprised how much I like this game. It's not as bad as the reviewers was saying it was. The graphics isn't excellent but just enough for you to enjoy. If you like Anime looking characters, this game has that kind of look to it, which I kinda enjoy. The reviewers was saying that the English Dub was bad. There's no such problem here because you can turn on the Japanese Dialog and English Subtitle. I'm a huge fan of Subtitles with original language. The music is OK, nothing fancy like Final Fantasy games. In this game, you can collect close to 125 Golems, which is awesome. The battle system is simple and easy to learn so no one will actually have a problem figuring out the battle system. I like that a lot, especially with the latest RPGs out there where you have to actually be a scientist to learn the whole system.
Another positive thing about this game is that you can SAVE ANYWHERE you want. This is what I'm talking about!!! We need more of these options in RPGs. Not everyone have time to sit there for hours and hours just to find a Save point. I need to work 5 days a week and coming home for a quick RPG game will not work if I can't save the game anytime I want. This option should be in every game.
There's a few flaws in this game. The frame rate is not constant in certain areas. This has nothing to do with the PS3. This is the developers fault. They did a bad port. I have games that are much more graphic heavier and have no problems with framerate. Ubisoft should do there ports better, this is unacceptable. Another problem in this game is the way how the tutorial goes. In certain areas, when you see a button, the guy that teaches you how to do things will have a whole conversation with you just to tell you to go in front of the button and press X. WTF???!!!!
Overall, this game is good and should be tried out by old school RPG fans. Don't expect a Final Fantasy game and you should be able to enjoy this game.
