Starring Dr. Dan & Dr. Don, two Bert & Ernie types, this cross between a light gun gamer and logic puzzler follows directly in the footsteps of its predecessors and makes a fine party game (not for the kiddie parties, however).

Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
Not an essential purchase, maybe, but Point Blank version 3 is still tremendous fun, horribly addictive, and its new modes do make it even more of a party game.

It provides more of the same minigames fans have come to expect. The game's quick pace and great multiplayer modes make it an excellent party game.

At an adult party with a bunch of players (and a couple of GunCons), Point Blank 3 is simply a blast.

It's a fun game. The more people you get gathered around the PlayStation (up to eight) to play, the more fun it is.

While it doesn't really have enough single player content to satisfy most fans of the genre, PB3 definitely is much more fun with multiple players.

Ree L. gave it a 7:
Good fun with multiplayer modes but lacks the storymode from no.2 that gives it a longer playability.

Hugo B. gave it a 10:
This is a very good game. Try it.

Steve K. gave it a 7:
Not a whole lot of new material from the first two, but still as addictive and fun. The music is quite entertaining, the graphics still hold up. A great party game.
