    Hardcore gamers (young or old) would be wise to ignore the kiddy image and give the game a shot.

    There is none of the user-friendliness and open-ended approach that made "Super Smash Bros." clone "Digimon Rumble Arena" such a pleasant experience.

    Profoundly mediocre, the kind of game that only hardcore Digi-fans will like. [June 2002, p.102]

    For a game whose main gameplay component is building up your characters, Digimon World 3 makes the process needlessly complicated and annoying.

    This game is somewhat enjoyable, with a decent soundtrack. For some reason though it has a slow gameplay, sometimes boreing the players. the way you build up your digimon is too slow to the actual game, making for many hours of "leveling up" just to stay on par with the random encounters. All of this makes for a slow game. Also, the game makes you feel like a delivery boy too often running back and forth between areas already visited too often, and mostly for menial gains. As for pros, it has a catchy soundtrack, nice vibrant animations, and good custom building for digimon. This game also has an awesome storyline that only suffers from the horrible gameplay and replay value.… Expand
