Summary: A Weird Surprise
Comment: Of all the odd games I've played that I still enjoy today (I've got a good handful of unknowns on my list of favorites), Digimon World 3 is still one of the more intriguing ones.
Digimon will always and forevermore be remembered as a poor ripoff of Pokemon, which is a real shame, given the original incarnate of Digimon was a Tamagotchi (virtual pet) that could battle. To my knowledge, it actually began even before Pokemon. The first Digimon World is much closer to this original concept than any other path Digimon ever took (the second is trash. Don't even touch it).
What makes the third installment so good is the number of interesting things it includes. For one, its a 2D RPG with 3D battles. 2D console games period became a rarity once 3D became the norm. (I'm very interested in the new Mega Man 9 on XBox Live for this reason, which is an entirely new game the runs on the original Nintendo engine, with old-school graphics galore and pure retro!) The 3D battles are probably the weakest point of the game because of the visuals more than the actual fighting system.
The story is very well conceived. It's no Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger, nor is it very open-ended like Morrowind or Oblivion, but it's still very solid with some interesting twists along the way. The boss battles are, surprisingly, difficult, a rarity among RPGs these days, I've found (save for MMOs. NEVER try taking on Pandemonium Warden or Absolute Virtue if you play Final Fantasy XI). There's not so much true need for grinding unless you want a specific digimon, but you will still find a challenge in the game.
Digivolutions are strange and branch off as you level them up. You're given your main digimon form that always levels up. You are also allowed three slots for possible digivolutions, save for its normal evolutions, which come standard. As you use them, the digivolutions you have equipped grow in level (faster than your main form, you'll find) and learn both new moves and even more new digimon forms. Mapping it out in full takes lots of time and is much more tedious than Pokemon catching ever was or will be.
The sound is decent at best. I've definitely heard better, but at the very least, it works. Again, this isn't Final Fantasy we're talking about here.
The card battles (possibly influenced by the inclusion of card games in FFVIII and IX, as well as the actual Digi Card Battle game. The cards in this game actually borrow their images from the latter) are quick, easy and relatively painless. They're a great way to pass the time and can really become quite addicting.
At some point, though, the whole "Digi-whatever" cheese factor is just gonna get to you. Even a couple of the main ideas (how the final boss comes to be, the whole virtual reality concept, etc.) really seem to stretch certain "real life" possibilities, but this is normal of a Digimon game. The difference here, though, is that the Digimon world is a man-made game vs. a sort of alternate reality.
Even with that in mind, though, the game REALLY stands strong in my memory. A lot of places stock it used for cheap (Gamestop, when they were cleaning out their PS1 inventory, had it for $10) and its worth the price.
If you can find it and you like RPGs, get it. It's a bit more on the casual end, (it's no Phantasy Star II by any stretch) but it works and plays well.
****4 stars****

Summary: Misery
Comment: this game - was nothin like the 2nd or first (the 4th is even worse!) this game is annoying. Your some lil brat - who has like 5 Digimon - and you go all over the place battling - its ahrd - and challenging - but it gets anoying - because its the same enemies - and you can only use 1 digimon in the battles. so its lame.

Summary: DMW3: One Great RPG
Comment: I liked this game a whole lot. You start the game by choosing 1 of 3 Digimon packs based on their stats and unique characteristics. Unlike Digimon World 1 you have 3 digimon plus they do not die. As you progress through the game, you will earn different digivolutions some due to level others are secret and obtained other than leveling up. All in all its like my personal favorite game Final Fantasy 7 so it makes for a great one player.
