Thousand Arms is a must buy for Playstation owners.

Thousand Arms is in my opinion the best RPG to date on the Playstation console. It has a light spirit but a deep plot. This game is filled with subtle jokes. It will keep you and your friends playing for the entire weekend. (Forget about that homework!) Thousand Arms is not that difficult but it will certainly challenge in some areas.

The only complaint that I have about this game is the random battle system. Although almost every RPG has this I wish they would do something new. For example when in a certain dungeon while trying to explore one will keep on continually running into random monsters. This gets very repetetive.

The graphics are excelent with some of the best anime every seen on the playstation. This game actually has voice acting although Metal Gear Solid still beats it in this area. This is the only game I have seen on the Playstation where the graphics do not continually shimmer and a another small thing I noticed is that this is the first time a game has actaully done trees right!

All in all Thousand Arms is a great game for anyone!

This Could Have Been A Perfect Game, But Oh The Battles!

I liked the concept of a RPG dating Game. I bought it and was impressed with the way they incorporated the voice overs and just the sheer beauty of the game. But did they have to have so many random battles! I am a true RPG fan, but I have never ever encountered so many battles in a RPG game. It was very difficult to make thorough searches of dungeons without running into a fight every step or just standing too long in the same place. I was also turned around by the camera angles. I must have entered the same area a hundred times, because I was constantly being turned around in all directions. I hope that if a sequel is made, that Atlus heeds the voices of this and other gamer and cut back on the long, drawn-out and quite repetitive battles! This game could have scored a 10 if not for the above mentioned drawbacks.

Love the Dating, Hate the fighting

I think this game is one of the best RPG's to come from Japan. I have heard so much abotu the RPG-dating scenario style games. It sounded so surreal, and so when this came to the US, I had to snap it up! It is a lot of fun. The dating makes my fiancee and I laugh out loud and EVERY character that advances the plot has a voice! It really adds a lot to the game. The only problem, is the nonstop random montser battles. If they were a little tougher and a lot less frequent, the game wouldn't have been such an easy walk through for me. For adults and long time Roleplayers, this game is a MUST have!

One of the most engaging RPGs on the PSX

Thousand Arms is one of the best RPGs available on the PSX. The characters are engaging, the storyline is deep, and the dialogue is especially witty. The dating simulations are sweet as well as hilarious. The only downfalls are the frequent battles and the fact that, although Thousand Arms is fairly long, it's a lot easier to beat than most RPGs on the PSX.

What a cool game

My husband and I had a lot of fun with the dating part, amazingly I messed up more than he did. and the graphics! wow! I want more! I wish it didnt end. see, not much help eh?

LOVED it! It's too bad the Final Fantasy series is ALWAYS in the spotlight. It's good, but not that good. FF8 is VERY BORING. It only got 5 stars cuz people tend to go along with everyone else. Thousand Arms has personality, and much more humor than most other RPGs. Unlike the Final Fantasy series, the characters actually speak rather than only reading text. The voices are excellent as well, not to mention. It's my 2nd favorite RPG(since I love RPG's, that'd make it my favorite of all) of all time. ^_^ Very uniqe, very fun, impressive animation. Watcha waiting for? GET IT! And by the way, video game corporations are watching this. The more people that buy it, the more anime games they'll release. --- Favorites: Lunar SSSC Thousand Arms Final Fantasy 7

Final Fansty 7 a good game

Thousand Arms is an awesome RPG video game, especially for the anime lover! It has an awesome intro, but you shoud only get the game if youre interested in playing a few hours at a time, because you won't be able to put it down!

This is an RPG like no other that you have played before. Beautiful graphics, interesting battle system, and you get to date cute anime girls! All in all, one of the most original games I have ever played. If you liked Tokimeki Memorial, you'll love Thousand Arms!

Good, but with major flaws

The story is interesting, if a bit linear, and the dating elements of the game are hilarious! You'll find youself purposefully saying the wrong thing in order to hear the answers you'll get. However, the battle system is incredibly tedious - the one-on-one system, combined with the high random encounter rate, will have you ready to pull out your hair in no time!
