Avis sur le produitEnchanted Arms (Sony PlayStation 3, 2007)

Average Game ***RENTAL***

Enchanted Arms is a capable and often enjoyable role-playing game, but it's also one that you'll likely forget as soon as you finish it.

The Good: Surprisingly natural, funny dialogue for a role-playing game; unique battle system is fun and challenging; the collectible golems are all unique and useful.

The Bad: Awful English voice acting; too much tedious backtracking through large, vacant, and uninteresting areas; aside from some flashy battle animations, the visuals are unimpressive; it's frequently difficult to get a good view of the battlefield; sixaxis control features feel silly and out of place.

Given the chance, I would rent this game instead of buying.Lire l'avis complet...

Excellent, Underrated Game

This game got mixed or bad reviews. I tried it anyway, and was really surprised at how good it is. I'm 31 hours in for what looks like a 50 or so hour game. It's mostly the main story and little else. There's only one side quest that I'm seeing, and you can only do it late it in the game when your characters are powered up. However, the story is so deep and interesting that I keep going back to it just to see what will happen next. I've been playing RPGs for about 21 years and though I don't really have the free time anymore to have marathon sessions, I still come back to Enchanted Arms when I can. Highly recommended.Lire l'avis complet...

'Enchanting' Family Fun Game

Not the best game I've played but has got merits. Its a Japanese style RPG (turn-based), so if you're not into that, don't buy it. If you're into levelling and customising, this is it!(Similar to the game 'Suikoden')

Has a unique battle system and loads of characters to choose from to customise your very own battle team (Atsuma the lead can't be changed but you can customise the other 3).

Not the best graphics, but good. Voice acting was good, but from the dialogue, seems the game is targeting at the very young to the early teens. Old-fashioned story line, but very healthy message/moral of story throughout.
No blood, no gore.

IMHO, this game is definitely worth buying and keeping, because apart from playing it, you can also have it to entertain your girlfriend and kids/nephews & nieces when they want to try out your PS3.

Cheers

Enchanted Arms is not too bad

Even though the title has had some minor flaws, it is still in my opinion a very good role playing game. Playing the game kinda takes me back to the times when I was playing through FFX. So many people seem to complain about the English dialouge, but if they don't want to hear it they can just simply switch it back to Japanese audio with English subtitles. I'm not very far in the game and it is weird that one of the charcters is gay lol, but I still appreciate the role-playing elements of the game. I feel PS3 would have a much greater impact in sales if they were to release more role-playing games on their system.Lire l'avis complet...

Maybe rent before you buy..

Enchanted Arms is a fun and enjoyable RPG for the PS3..
Some good things about this game are.. The battle system is unique and can be fun once you get the hang of it, fun to collect Golems that are each unique and you may need their powers throughout the game..

But of course there are some bad as well.. The English voice acting was really unbearable at times, alot of tedious backtracking through areas, the visuals were not the best other than some in battle and it's sometimes difficult to get a good view of the battlefield..

So to sum it all up, I would say rent this game before you buy it but if you like it, then by all means, purchase this game if you really get into it.. I mean they did port this game over so it's not like they spent all this time on it but it is still good, have fun!Lire l'avis complet...

Fun turn-based RPG

Pros:

1. Really the only traditional JRPG on PS3. This and Eternal Sonata are the only 2 older-style RPGs on PS3.(turn-based) This game also adds golem collection (which is basically like Pokemon)..100+ that you can defeat, and than any of them can be added to your party if you want to replace any of the Humans in your 4-person battle party.

2. Great battle-sytem: combined normal turn-based with a grid/tactical element.

3. Sometimes annoying, but generally good amusing story, too seriously seem to miss the point.

4. 50+ hours of gameplay.

5. Some great CGI cutscenes, well-spaced, and not anywhere near over-done. (i.e no 10 minute movies, and only a few CGI scenes in the entire game)

Cons:

1. A bit too Linear.
2. More weapon and spell variety would have been nice.
3. Medicore graphics at best. (though the CGI scenes are beautiful in HD)
4. Dialogue acting was among the worst I've seen. (probably put much more effort into the Japanese, since this was an import, and not a big US title).Lire l'avis complet...

Old school style meets next gen graphics

I am an RPG enthusiast and seeing as there really wasn't that many options available for the PS3 at the time of my purchase of this game I decided to pick up this game. The battle system is a mix of old school random battles with a tactical grid system. The game gives you an option to have it automatically do the battles for you in those times when you really get tired of the random encounters. The graphics are awsome and the story draws the player in very nicely. The gameplay is semi linear based, but you get to explore the world inside the game to your liking and with a very massive hidden dungeon, this game proves to be a bit lengthy should you want it. I won't go into any details that may spoil the game for the future buyer but as an RPG fan, I would definitely recommend this game.Lire l'avis complet...

Enchanted Arms.......

I am a lover of RPG's of almost any sort. NOT THIS TIME! I tried about 3 or 4 times to play this game over the course of a year, and couldn't even stay interested in it enough to play it again before deleting it off my system.

I thought that maybe it just sucked in the beginning, but NO, it just sucks.

The only real reason to buy this game is to own one of the few rpgs for PS3.

If you aren't collecting it for the sole purpose of viewing the box on your shelf, then DON'T BUY IT, because sitting on your shelf is exactly where it'll go after about 30 min of it.

Graphics: good enough
Sound: good enough
Gameplay: not even fun enough to stay interested (even if it's your only game)Lire l'avis complet...

seems very enchanting

i like the graphics on this game.at the beginning it goes into a story mode and then into a demonstartion on how to defeat golems.it has the same likness as a trun based role playing game.i did not play the whole game yet.it seems very entertaining and a game to keep you involved from beginning to end.i think this probably an underated game,since you can get it cheap everywhere.get this while it is still cheap.Lire l'avis complet...

Enchanted Arms Play

Game is very fun. I really enjoyed making the creatures although it takes a bit to be able to. There are also so pretty tough but optional boss fights early on. The characters are fun to play with and I already have favorites. I bought this cause I rented it a while ago but it was unavaiable to purchase in most places.Lire l'avis complet...
