I'd say dead rising, but considering its the only one out of those three I own, that's no surprise.

I've put probably 40 hours into Dead Rising, and I've yet to get everything done. Probably my second favorite game on 360, behind Guitar Hero 2.

I recommend Dead Rising over the other two, Saints Row is a fun game and can't be missed. Try renting that sometime. Enchanted Arms.... that game doesn't look too great in my honest opinion. I also heard from one of my friends that Dead Rising is rumured to have a 2 player co-op downloadable pack, I hope capcom can confirm this soon cuz that would be nuts. Oh and they fixed all the lag on Saints Row, it's all good to play the multipalyer now.

I'd get Dead Rising, Sanit's Row then Enchanted Arms.

I haven't actually played Saint's Row, but Enchanted Arms was pretty boring with almost no replay value. It's not terrible playing through, although nowhere near the standards of other "JRPGs". I got Dead Rising last week, and so far it's great.

Dead Rising is an amazing game that works on so many different levels.  It's got a ton of replay, challenging achievments, and an interesting story.  However, it's also great if you just want to mess sh*t up.  Just watch out for the wonky save system.  Really though, it's great for harcore and casual gaming

Enchanted Arms is a really good JRPG.  That being said, it's a JRPG.  If you hate over-the-top characters, tons of dialogue, and random turn based battles, run far away!  If you've like JRPGs, like Star Ocean or the Saga series, give it a try.

 I never tried Saint's Row, but it looks like it could be fun, in that "SA-knock-off" style.  Can't comment though.

 I would buy them Dead Rising, Enchanted Arms, Saint's Row, but thats only because I like JRPGs.  If you don't, more EA to the end.

Dead Rising is a very niche game. Either you hate it, or you love it. I, personally, hate the game with a passion. Save system sucks, combat's boring, and it's almost impossible to beat the bosses without doing something cheap.

 Saint's Row is awesome. Everyone says it's a GTA clone but I liked it better. The free aim system is a massive improvement over GTA's lockon. Graphics and physics are pretty sweet too.

Dead Rising is my absolute favorite out of the three.  I'm not sure why there are all these people hating on it and Saint's Row.  Dead Rising is an awesome game with a lot of replay value.  It'll probably take you at least three playthroughs to get all the acheivements if you're a fast learner, and personally the zombie-killing never gets old.  I think the bosses are really fun.  They're not horribly different when it comes to tactics, but they offer enough variety to make it entertaining.  They're also very entertaining as characters.  Part of what makes the game so good is the idea of being in a George A. Romero type film, complete with scared****-less survivors and downright crazy psychopaths, not to mention a zombie outbreak caused by mysterious government experimentation.  I highly reccomend at least renting it, and it's my favorite out of the three.  I also liked Saint's Row.  It's in the same vein as GTA, but I don't know that GTA has ever taken the street war approach to the genre.  I think it takes a fresh approach to a genre that was basically invented by the GTA series.  The concept of taking over a city is cool, and there are a lot of little improvements in gameplay over the GTA series that you're sure to notice.  If you're a fan of the genre I reccomend this.  It's my second favorite.  I haven't played Enchanted Arms.  It doesn't sound like something I'd buy.  Right now I'm hooked on Gears of War and waiting for Halo 3.  I'm also psyched about Guitar Hero for the 360, but I need more money.

Dead Rising is the only game on this list that I didn't think was utter trash, but you're going to want to wait. I think it's going to be a Platinum release really soon. As it stands, I'd recommend paying less than $60 USD.

What happened to just saying, "I don't like the game?"  I dunno about Enchanted Arms, but Saint's Row got a pretty good reception, so obviously some people think it's better than "utter trash."

dead rising... saints row is good but it feel too similar to GTA and adds nothing really new to that type of genre. I havent played enchanted arms but from what i heard it wasnt too great.

Enchanted Arms is pretty bad.  GTA IV is coming out in 6 months get that instead of Saint's Row.  Dead Rising is very addicting.  I got it at the end of Dec. and I still play it, not as much as i did when i bought it of course.

I own and have played through all 3. If you aren't impatient and enjoy JRPGs, Enchanted arms. Otherwise, Dead Rising. Saint's Row would be 3rd on the list, even though it's a very good game.

Dead Rising is my top pick, i thought saints row was decent but nothing amazing. Enchanted Arms was just a poor game overall.

I'd say go like this: Dead Rising Saints Row Enchanted Arms (never played it tho) I'd probably put a hell of a lot more time into DR than any other game I own. But then after about a month I'd done everything (played it a lot, lol) and sold it. Saint's Row is good but I never played a heck of a lot of it. Also, don't listen to the comments about the save system, bosses, combat etc about Dead rising. It's really not as bad as everyone's making it out to be.

Saint's row isn't that bad either.  It's not a complete rip-off of GTA.  It's got some new things and gives a different type of spin to the GTA-style game.  Besides, why is GTA rip-off a bad thing.  They actually did a pretty good job of ripping it off.  I liked Saint's Row better than any GTA game since 3.  Why don't you just rent it before you buy it if you're not sure.

Everyone whines about SR being a GTA Clone. Maybe it is, but I think SR is better than GTA so it doesn't matter :)

If you like Japanese turn based RPG's this is the only one right now.
