Enchanted Arms for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

I hardly every write reviews but I had to rate this game for anyone who would want to believe anything anyone who scored it above a 5 wrote about it. Everything about it is terrible (and I actually stuck through to the end). A waste of time - DO NOT RENT!

SPOILER-FREE, AS ARE ALL MY REVIEWS! :D

Let me start out by saying that Enchanted Arms made me laugh so hard that at one point I could barely breathe and my dog started barking frantically. Any game that can achieve this is already a game well worth it in my book, and this game surprised me by doing it just about all the time.

Now, on to other stuff.

RATINGS

CHARACTERS - 10 / 10

I know, you guys. "What?! 10?! You mean these characters are utterly perfect? But they're stereotypes from what I read! Tomboy females, effeminate males, silent types, come on!"
To which I'd reply, so? The stereotypes worked and each character had something that made them almost disturbingly refreshing in comparison. They weren't 2 dimensional, they had a depth that I hadn't seen in a while that made me care. There was also a stereotypical non-straight character that you don't see often, either.

VOICE ACTING - 10 / 10

I'd also like to throw in that the English Voice acting was stellar. If you want to know about Japanese, I'd say 2 / 10. I feel sorry for the guys over there having to listen to that and can almost picture them turning on English instead. I'd have taken one point off for Makoto's early battle cry that disturbed me, but at some point it started to make me laugh.

STORYLINE - 8 / 10
Well, you've got your airhead living a carefree life. You've got stuff that happens that makes it less carefree. You've got things that make it so he's the only one that can make it carefree again. You've got your team that wants to help full of people who actually form bonds with him and you by association. You've got a goal that you desperately want to achieve and a world to save.
That's pretty much it, spoiler-free. I'm not good at descriptions, but it's an amazing story to me. It had me wanting to get to the next area to see what happened next.

All in all, Enchanted Arms was well worth it. If for no other reason, get it if you feel like laughing and a good time
