Manufacturer's Description
Enchanted Arms places you in the control of Atsuma, who early in his adventure manages to inadvertently open a seal which revives the fierce Devil Golem. One of the unique aspects of Enchanted Arms is that in combat you rely heavily on Golems artificial life forms built for labor and combat that are customized using material and ether gained through trade, gambling, and combat. You'll make use of Golem support characters as you work through the game's strategic battle system. There are over 100 varieties of Golem to customize.

So Far So Good
This game seems to have many mixed reviews but personally i would buy the game,if you are a fan of RPG's you won't be disappointed.
The battle system is quite straight forward and in many ways could be seen as similar to that of final fantasy in respect to how you use skills, items, etc. The first part of the game in the university i thought was quite boring and it really irritated me the way that when you talk to characters they appear up close in the foreground and it flicks from one character to the other, once i got over this however i found i could enjoy the game more. I really started to like this game when i got into Yokohama and i did the pizza eating contest with the sixaxis controller but i think that there should have been more challenges for me to complete for golem tickets, rather than it be so simple to aquire the other tickets.
I thought the game was really good when i went into the sealed ward and met the frozen devil golem it reminded me of the dark aoen Shiva in final fantasy X (and the guardian monster before her was kind of like the Jecht you fight when you go into Sin) but anyway drawing away from that this is a good game in its own right.
Currently I am in London so haven't played that long and as for the graphics i wouldn't say they were blocky as one reviewer suggests( i would be the first to complain if they were rubbish), (perhaps they are not playing in H.D.)but they are entitled to their own opinion. The game doesn't look half bad considering it's not in 1080i or p and only goes as far as 720i. So Far So Good.....

Solid RPG
I agree with other reviews that say that this is a solid RPG. It has everything that you expect and everything it does works very well indeed. However, it seems that it could have been easily made for the PS2 (in which case I would have scored it higher!)and so there is a sense of disappointment to play a game that you could easily have played 5 years ago. I partly bought the game on the view that it was similar to Lucifer's Call and I have to say that, apart form some superficial similarities, the gameplay is completely different (also a bit gutting, because Lucifer's Call is one of my favourite games of all time). The gameplay is OK and familiar if you play alot of j-rpg and so playing the game feels very comfortable and, in that way, enjoyable. I suppose I was just expecting so much more from the PS3 then what the game delivers. That said - there currently is a lack of translated japenese RPGs for the PS3 and if you have traded in your PS2 and all your wonderful games (as I have done) then Enchanted Arms helps with the cravings whilst you wait for more games to be developed.

Better than I thought
I am going to be frank and say that after reading reviews for this game I thought it was a load of rubbish. However I prejudged this game on other peoples experience and decided to play, and I take back everything I said. I have started about 2 hours ago and the game gives very good impressions, O.K some of the voices are dodgy but the gameplay, storyline and graphics all make up for this!!! Overall a very good game that people have underestimated.
