If you are a registered member of the computerandvideogames.com, there is an EXCELLENT review of PSO ep3. Very funny.
The poor guy is just like alot of us. He is/was a huge PSO fan, even a Sega fan in general, until this "game". Here's a snippet - "Look at me playing Phantasy Star Online III. I'm staring at the screen, flicking through some attack cards under no pressure whatsoever. It's so laid back, I can lie down. I'm going to lie down. It makes no difference. It's a lot of watching, some clicking to start off more watching and then a Congratulations screen appears. This isn't how video games were supposed to turn out. They're meant to rock your god damn eyeballs out of your head." It's worth the regisration. It's a European site so the news isn't as up-to-date on the U.S. timeline but the site still has some interesting bits about it. -------------------- |

It may be boring and slow but you gotta admit that it was pretty. I got sucked in with all the pretty graphics and sounds. I mean look at the loading screen! It like watching a flash movie!
From a graphic design perspective, the game blew me away. Look at the various areas they have! Fighting on top of a windmill? Hell yea! And the music compliments each stage. Especially the Nebula Montana area. Everything just comes together for me in that area =) Then you have these kick ass sound effects! Voice is lame but it's still good! "Action!" Anyway, though its replay value ran out fast, it was a fun ride. It was a nice change of pace from all the hacking (no pun intended) and slashing. Nothing like pulling off a 3-4 card combo that deals 50+ damage. Like I have said a bunch of times in the past: its not for everyone! In the end, I had to let go of it and I got back to good o' PSO Ep.I&II (Blue Burst kinda got me back into it). I still play Ep.III here and there but not as much as I used to. I have to say though that this game changed the way I looked at card games. --d-_-b -------------------- |
