Ahh, breath of fire 3. One of the best and possibly most underrated rpg's in all existence. Good story telling combined with a fantastic battle system and in depth dragon gene splicing option leaves nothing to be desired. It holds up in all parts imaginable, so expect a 10 here. From this point on i am basing this on how good it was in it's prime, though it's still a 10 to me.

Graphics: 10
The graphics are unique, colorful and have a sweet feel of anime. The colorful characters and enemies should be enough to keep you feeling orgasmic as you stare at the wonder of it all. Personally i think graphics like this hold up much better with time. No blurriness here, it's all smooth. My only minor gripe is your weapons never look different, but there is so much to look at it is hardly a concern. 10 baby.

Sound: 10
Video game music to me is always a unique treasure. I am certainly one of those weirdos who would stack it up on an ipod. The music generally always fits the emotion you should be feeling at the time. The battle music and boss battle music also never gets old to me, and really puts me in the mood to slay some rowdy monsters. 10 baby

Gameplay: 10
Ah my favorite part of any game, the gameplay. An overview? you're a dragon; that should be enough. Save the world? check. Fight monsters? check. Turn into a bunch of different dragons? check. everything is in this game from fishing, to dragon gene splicing to stealing enemy skills. Those enemies sure don't seem too scary in the beginning though. The storyline is more than qualified to keep anyone interested. Love, hate, betrayal, redemption and fear. They cover it all and much more. 12 baby.

Overall: 10
Overall? 11. the game is perfect, especially for its 20 years of age this year. If you like turn based RPG's, this is as traditional as it gets while still being as unique as possible. People have their FF, and i do too. But this one is my all time favorite RPG. It doesn't get better than turning into a dragon and with all the other colorful teammates tagging along for the ride the word perfection is in order.

If you haven't played it and love RPG's get it. It is a beautiful retro RPG with a great story and hours of entertainment. GET IT NOW!!
