IGN: The oddest thing about my time with Arc Rise, though, was that I actually kind of enjoyed my time with it despite the terrible story and boring stretches. Something about maxing out my characters' abilities, equipping them with the right armor, and manipulating how they cast spells really appealed to me, and I find myself genuinely interested in trying out more of a genre I’ve missed out on for more than 25 years. Who knows, perhaps this is the start of something new for me, and, if nothing else, I can thank this mediocre game for helping me jump into a number of worlds I’ve previously avoided.

Evan from Bit Cultures writes: "If you can get past one of the most atrocious voice acting experiences in living memory (there are a few worse, for sure, but this is bad), then the gameplay is pretty enjoyable. The narrative is also an interesting tale, and the soundtrack is pretty remarkable. But while these aspects are very strong, I’m not quite sure it saves the game."

I would sure hate to have my country controlled by an undemocratic EU Parliament.

GameZone: "While individuals had to look past games like [insert lame mini-game collection] and [insert movie tie-in with weak Wiimote waggle], there were still some absolutely wonderful experiences on the Wii. We’ve already gotten through 20 of 'em, and you bet we’re going to keep it up until we get to 50."
-__- The dub is really bad people I've experience it!
The dub can be turned off, and I hear the game is a good by the book rpg. I may check it out later too many games to play.
