  • Suikoden III - Konami shot for the stars, but hit a black hole

    Mar 01 '03
    Pros: 108 SoD, long quest, first 10 hours or so is good...
    Cons: ...then the rest of it went down hill

    Summary: As soon as the Playstation 2 was released in October 2000, much of the original Playstation’s success had already been transferred to the PS2 with the amount of RPG’s that the system has. Unfortunately, up until just recently, the PS2 has...

  • A RPG Masterpiece!

    Dec 25 '06
    Pros: Stuck to fabulous Suikoden game style, excellent storyline, enhanced graphics
    Cons: Work in twos instead of single action, had problem loading suikoden 2 data

    Summary: If you have played any other Suikoden games in this now brought upon trilogy, then you know have amazing it is to aquire all 108 characters in the game, and this chapter is no different. Broken into various stories the gameplay never gets old....

  • Upgraded to 3D, but Feels Slightly Downgraded Overall

    Jun 17 '06
    Pros: Immersive storyline, thought-provoking combat strategies
    Cons: Defined maps are inhibiting, the game paths you endlessly through the same zones/scenery

    Summary: Back in the day when Suikoden first came out, it was pretty much a niche game. Most people had not heard of it, yet it gained some form of underground popularity that exploded with Suikoden II for those-in-the-know. The graphics have ...

  • Suikoden III: - The Stars Shine Brighter From The Other Side

    Oct 18 '04
    Pros: Trinity System, Graphics (At Times), Battle System
    Cons: The Worst Suikoden Game Thus Far, Doesn't Retain the Suikoden "Feel" Very Well

    Summary: As far as RPGs go, I used to have a difficult time steering toward anything that wasn't made by Squaresoft, Enix, and Taito. This was back in the 16-bit generation when I really hit it big with the genre. I easily transitioned to giving other companies a ...

  • Dear Konami

    May 22 '04
    Pros: Read review
    Cons: Read review

    Summary: **I know from my Britney Spears review that I will be writing Rainbow Six 3 and Alicia Keys. I'm still trying to get on to it. I always finish what I started, however, the only problem with me is that I have a short attention span. So I ...

  • Awesome continuation of the Suikoden series!!!

    Jul 25 '03
    Pros: High replay quality, 108 different characters to recruit and play
    Cons: Its a long long game.

    Summary: Despite being part 3 in the series, you won't feel lost if this is the first Suikoden game you play. ...

  • All Your Stars Are Belong To Us

    Jul 18 '03
    Pros: Incredible story, interesting combat, compelling music, good character designs, compatibility with older save files.
    Cons: Story is boring in beginning, music can be crap, graphics are ho-hum.

    Summary: The latest installment based on the Water Margin tale is truly a masterpiece. While it has m ...

  • The First Truly Incredible Fully-3D Role Playing Game

    May 28 '03
    Pros: beautiful visuals, excellent character development, enthralling plot
    Cons: drags at times - don't get the Blinking Mirror fast enough

    Summary: The first two Suikoden releases on Playstation were among my favorite games on the system. Especially Suikoden 2, where the strong party and army battles (not to mention the Duels), the incredibly deep and satisfying storylines, the bevy of characters...

  • Suikoden III is good for RPG fans, great for Suikoden fans

    Apr 30 '03
    Pros: Innovative, great character perspectives, unique and clean battle systems, excellent character animation and detail.
    Cons: Some choppy framerates, sometimes aggravating map navigation.

    Summary: Suikoden III greatly improves upon previous installments of the series in many ways. The major reason is the Trinity Sight System, which allows the story to develop from the viewpoint of three different characters. Instead of one character's story, you...

  • You couldn't have asked for more

    Apr 26 '03
    Pros: Just about everything
    Cons: A little different then the other two versions

    Summary: Before I begin, let me start off by saying that the first two Suikoden games are two of my favorite games of all time. I loved them and have played them multiple times. They were two very, very underrated games. They also tied into each other well. Set...

  • Suikoden 3, 2, and 1 comparison

    Apr 11 '03
    Pros: lots of replay value, nonlinear, lots of characters, large battle parties
    Cons: a bit weak on storyline and character developement

    Summary: Suikoden is an epic rpg featuring hundreds of playable characters. The main challenge in this series has always been recruiting everyone to come to your castle. But how does the latest installment stack up to it's parents?
    First off it has gone...

  • Suikoden III is a great game,

    Mar 10 '03
    Pros: A great all around RPG
    Cons: Does not live fully up to the Suikoden series, a little complicated

    Summary: I found this game to be very entertaining. It revolves around three heros, of whom you one you can choose. Many of the rpg mechanisms you find in this game (battle system, magic system, knights, monsters, scantily clad maidens, etc) are fairly...

  • Great PS2 RPG

    Mar 07 '03
    Pros: Characters, story, the whole game itself.
    Cons: No voice acting, decent graphics

    Summary: Ok, I'm not going to write a thesis and analyze the crap out of this game. I'm just going to point out why you should play this game (buy it, borrow it, rent it, etc.).

    Suikoden III is, in my opinion, an awesome RPG. I love the way Konami...

  • Sometimes The Best RPG's Aren't By Squaresoft

    Mar 02 '03
    Pros: Yet Another Epic Suikoden Adventure
    Cons: Weak Music, Thomas' Chapters

    Summary: For some time now, Suikoden has been the best kept secret in console RPG’s. The original Suikoden quietly entered onto the scene in the early days of the Playstation, and it gained a cult following with its expansive, flawless gameplay, epic...

  • Suikoden 3 is Overrated. Nuff Said.

    Jan 06 '03
    Pros: good graphics, decent plot, cool castle customization
    Cons: no music/soundFX, bad leveling system, see review for more cons.

    Summary: Suikoden fans, don’t get me wrong. I’ve played Suikoden 1 and 2. I am a believer that the Suikoden series is easily one of the most underrated rpg series out there. Suikoden 1 and 2 both make my top 10 list of my all time favorite rpgs,...
