Today Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, announced that Enchanted Arms has shipped exclusively for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and will be available on store shelves this week. Enchanted Arms was created by development studio FromSoftware in Japan and is the first true next-generation Japanese role-playing game (RPG).
"We are very excited to bring the first classic Japanese RPG game for the Xbox 360 to North America," said Tony Key, vice president of marketing at Ubisoft. "Enchanted Arms' fast-action, deep storyline, stunning high-definition graphics, rich and colorful environments, and multitude of controllable creatures make it a must-have for every Xbox 360 owner."
Oliver writes: "If you can overlook its flaws, Enchanted Arms has a lot to offer; a light-hearted adventure caper with a fun battle system, some real challenge and depth, plenty of laughs and that comfy, JRPG atmosphere that felt like it went missing for quite some time during the Xbox 360 generation."
