PS3 version of Enchanted Arms gets slated. Worst port yet.

With Enchant Arm on the Playstation 3 FROM Software took a decent RPG and killed it. The graphics look worse, the load times are worse, and the framerate is just plain awful when compared to its XBOX 360 cousin. As far as I can tell this version should never have been released as load times for encounters are some of the longest Ive ever had the displeasure of sitting through. Remove rumble and achievements and replace them with some tacked on Sixaxis actions that are required and you have the recipe for one of the worst ports in the new generation of consoles.

They go on to give it 24/100.

I was going to recommend this if you like japanese roleplaying games. After this I don't think I will, unless you have a 360 that is...

How did this get through then, I wonder? Do Sony not have as stringent requirements as Microsoft to pass certification?

Completed it on the 360, i liked it a lot if not abit linear

Omg thats it, the 360 has won the console war officially now because of some silly japanese game that no one frankly cares about.

I really enjoyed enchanted arms, think its a really good solid RPG. Its a shame it has been badly ported but its not the first bad port and it wont be the last.

Heck play Resident evil 4 on PC if you want a bad port.
