Grandia 3

Grandia 3 - PS2

Grand (pardon the pun) game, lacking story: A Review by Christopher Lewis

Grandia III is, for me, a refreshing deviation from the standard role-playing battle system fare. Every fight feels riveting and compelling, with the game's difficulty being amped up from the previous installments, and you'll actually WANT to fight every enemy you encounter. Sadly, the story of G3 is not as successful, rife with substandard plot direction and several holes pertaining to certain events. It eventually journeys into the overdone category (saving the world from an evil being, blah blah blah), and though I didn't mind that very much, those of you who seek originality will want to look elsewhere. Also, various characters will suddenly up-and-leave you with no warning, bestowing the player with a sense of sadness having never really gotten to delve into the psyche of s/he who left the party. All in all, Grandia III is no disappointment in the gameplay department, exemplifying extraordinary addictive battling and even more intense boss battles. While the plot could've used some repairs, that shouldn't turn avid Grandia or RPG fans' heads away from this great game! Final Score for Grandia III (same as above, folks): 4.5 out of 5
