Having previously reviewed this game under Rhapsody, a review which I am...

Pros: Great-looking character design, and lots of full-screen animation
Cons: Weak, sometimes repetitive gameplay. Much too easy for experienced gamers

Sound (3 stars out of 5):
"Thousand Arms" has a well-written and enjoyable soundtrack, which is also available on a separate CD for $2 plus shipping from Atlus games. However, with the possible exception of the opening and ending themes (left,...

Pros: The opening song played during the beginning sequence.
Cons: Um...maybe it'd be easier to read the review.

It's a little worrying when you're meant to be saving the world and you realize halfway through doing so that you just don't care. I found Thousand Arms in the "pre-owned games" rack at my local EB and after reading the...

Pros: Character Designs, Songs by Ayumi Hamasaki, Dating Simulation
Cons: Battle System, Voice Acting

Ah Thousand Arms. I've been waiting for this games arrival since the first time I saw stills of it at an online gaming magazine. The day of it's release I quickly drove to my local gaming store after school so I could make my purchase. Greedily, I...

Pros: Lighthearted gameplay, fun for the entire male side of your family
Cons: May not appeal to those looking for a more traditional RPG.

Developers are starting to see a market in games that illustrate the importance of relationships. Final Fantasy VIII’s heartfelt love theme is a sterling model of this idea, and Thousand Arms in another example that drives this point home. Red Company...

Pros: Fantastic art, plotline, and minigames!
Cons: Painful to just rent, and possibly hard to find.

In a world where Squaresoft is the King of the RPG, you don't think much about the secondary titles. Jade Cocoon, for example? Does Shadow Madness ring a bell?

But a title that probably doesn't come to mind is Thousand Arms. From a tiny...

Pros: Addictive
Cons: too short

Seeing as how I'm trying to write each of my review in a different fasion, this one's going in letter form:

Dear Whoever You Are,
I recently finished a game called Thousand Arms. You get to go out with all the girls in your party, y'know?...

Pros: Innovative, great music, good storyline! Excellent Anime blends.
Cons: Battle system is a little odd, Sometimes the talking isn't fast enough; at times, the camera got annoying.

Yes, you read right. Intimacy level. One of the more unique RPGs to hit the shelves recently is Thousand Arms, from Atlus. For all of you tactical RPG fans, (Final fantasy tactics...), Atlus did the Tactics Ogre series as well as Kartia. Thousand Arms...

Pros: Excellent soundtrack, graphics, humourous, and chauvanistic
Cons: Frustrating battle style, chauvanistic, strong sexual innuendo

Nothing I like more than the smell of testosterone emanating from my Playstation. Yes, testosterone. I have never played a game that is at once as addicting and chauvanistic as Thousand Arms. The game play is great! The only downfall is that I beat it in ...

Pros: Original, great characters, amazing animation sequences, really funny
Cons: A bit on the easy side

Thousand Arms starts off as a normal RPG. Then it gets interesting. It has all the elements a regular role playing game has...but with a twist. You get to date! How it works is, throughout the game, you befriend a number of different girls, each with...

Pros: graphics, sound, music, gameplay, control
Cons: none

Story- Thousand Arms is set in a mythical world of swords and machines. You forthtake the role of a character named Meis Triumph, the youngest in a generation of blacksmiths. Along the way, he'll encounter helpful allies, cunning enemies and even go on...

Pros: almost everything
Cons: the camera (oh how i hate that camera)

This game, Thousand Arms; I saw it at Funcoland and I'm an anime fanatic so I checked it out. The ...

Pros: The opening song by Ayumi Hamasaki
Cons: Boring, pointless, dull

I am an expert RPG player and me and my group of friends always get into playing RPG games. I do not consider myself as a critical gamer. I love most of all the RPG unless it is really cheap and the story line doesn't go anywhere. That is exactly...

Pros: innovative dating/weapon smithy system, GREAT anime graphics, great voice acting, great storyline, great characters, great, great, great!!!
Cons: none that i noticed, this game rocks!

This game is by atlus originally made by a company called red book. It is VERY heavily influenced by Anime. In it you play as Meis Triumph a Spirit Blacksmith. What is a Spirit Blacksmith? They use the love energy of girls to forge remarkably strong...

Pros: voices, music, anime
Cons: none

This title, produced by Atlus, is a new twist to the RPG gaming traditions. The dating system is something new, inventive, and interesting. You are the main character, Mies Triumph, a spirit blacksmith. A spirit blacksmith is someone who makes weapons by...
