Enchanted Arms Review

Famitsu Magazine awarded it a 29/40 (72%) on it's release in Japan, Metacritic.com give it a hesitant 69% from only 4 reviews (jury still out).

Reviews Summary
Pretty darn good, a 60 hour long Japanese RPG crafted in a short time space
Predictable entertaining plot, graphics are a mixed bag
A nice start for a next-gen RPG
Hard to recommend except for die-hard RPG fans
Highlights can't match similar burning brigthly on ps2

  1. Visually it's quite the looker, if I may say so.... And @ 60 hours quite a laster (?)

  8. So Elderly, did you end up purchasing this one..?
    There were alot of high hopes for it and I have not seen any good reviews as of yet...
    Im passing on it myself.

  10. Speaking of--- I played some myself this weekend! I've started the main quest and now random Oblivion gates are everywhere.. So Im just traveling around trying to find them all... lots of goodies there too!

    ReplyDelete
  11. i levelled too quick, ever gate is now a chore..... im getting to the stage i've got to run past the assortment of baddies to get the stone........ although things have improved over the last few hours of gameplay.....

  12. (gnome just takes his hanky, which apparently is a self cleaning and rather high-tech one)

    ReplyDelete
  13. self cleaning? which makes me wonder why God didn't make us self cleaning... auto shaving.... he could a done it... maybe he had a busy day that day....

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hmmm... probably... Then again he might haven't been able to find a parking spot or something...

    ReplyDelete
  15. when you put it like that, it's entirely plausible, still he'd should left earlier.... i mean after all he invented traffic jams..... or did we do that on our own....

    ReplyDelete
  16. He didn't, but before that he couldn't find his shaving machine, which led to a chain of unfortunate events..

    ReplyDelete
  17. what god's got a shaving machine... hows that work then? i mean you'd think he'd let us have one as well.. do you think he likes people with beards then?

    ReplyDelete
  18. He does like gnomes.. that should lead somewhere...

    ReplyDelete
  19. (picks up gnomes trailing comment....) here..... wait it's all dusty, let me wash it first......

    you were saying?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Nothing really... go to sleep.. it's really late...

    Oh, and, apparently kwgjgxokki
