Stretching That Gaming Dollar - The Best 10 Bucks You Can Spend

Pros Fun Gameplay, Excellent Soundtrack
Cons Dated Graphics, Not Many Clues On Where To Go Next
Recommended it? Yes


Everyone seems to remember their first experience with the legendary Final Fantasy VII. Most knew it was coming out months beforehand, and popped it into their Playstation for the first time with sweaty palms. However, mention the name Wild Arms, and you?re likely to get a blank stare.

Pros Fantastic graphics and game play/story.
Cons Pretty long....
Recommended it? Yes

Wild ARMs, what's there to say, there's a lot of pros about this game and very few cons. This game takes on an original type of game play. Its rather old, but the graphics are extremely developed for its time. The beginning is even superb. With is anime style beginning and long hours of game play,... Read full review »

A true classic, in every sense

20 Helpfuls 21 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros great system, classical RPG style, beautiful introduction
Cons overland graphics a bit pixellated
Recommended it? Yes

Wild Arms doesn't have the most advanced battle system around. It doesn't have fully rendered graphics, and it doesn't have full motion video (aside from the introduction). What it does have, however, are the hallmarks of a true classic role playing game.

In declaring Wild Arms a classic,... Read full review »

Wild Life

Pros Enguaging Story, Decent PS Graphics, Nice Gameplay
Cons Polygons sometimes annoying, bad sound sometimes
Recommended it? Yes

Usually, games with the luster of Wild Arms catch my eye. The simplicity and utter beauty of a simple sprite is enough to amaze me, and I think it always will. The only purpose for graphics is to convey a story, and as long as they do so, I am content. Yes, sometimes it is nice to see some eye... Read full review »

Pros Great gameplay, decent graphics, excellent music.
Cons Lacking story, very little character development.
Recommended it? Yes

I some how missed Wild Arms when it was first released back in 1997. So, about a month ago, I saw it at my local Software Etc. for under $20. "What a perfect time to catch up on the series." I thought. After all, the sequel (which is now out)was being released soon. I was expecting maybe an average... Read full review »

Pros cool
Cons ummm....
Recommended it? Yes

Are you cuckoo over Wild Arms? Do you have urges to wake up at 2:00 in the morning and play it? This awful disorder is cause when you play Wild Arms. It is an obsession that will lead to lack of sleep, nightmares about evil killing you, and mostly just causes mass pandemona in your brain, because... Read full review »

Not so wild about about Wild Arms

byTrek1701a Jul 24, 2000
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Unique additions to a RPG game
Cons Overland Travel Map System
Recommended it? Yes

Wild Arms was published by SCEI back in 1997. It was the first RPG to use polygons in the battle sequences. It was released at a time that was somewhat of a drought for RPGs for the Playstation. To me it is a very standard console RPG. Nothing in it makes it stand out, but at that time having any... Read full review »

Pros graphics (at the time), char development
Cons story is simplistic, left with a that's it?? feeling.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought and played wild arms when i was still in hs, i think it was my junior year, that was like... 4 years ago?? It was a decent rpg.

The graphics were ok for its time, and it was one of the first 3d polygonal battle scene rpgs (ala FF7), but they were nothing spectacular. The... Read full review »

Pros Frustrating... in a good way (sometimes)
Cons no real character development, terribly cliche and uninteresting storyline
Recommended it? Yes

Before the poor FFVII came about, Playstation enjoyed some rather nice RPGs that were even called legendary by some. Titles like Beyond the Beyond, Suikoden, Ogre Battle, Brigandine, Tactics Ogre and ARMs all enjoyed success in both sales and reception, but still nothing to match SNES. But while...
