Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom

Review

Good

  • The graphics, especially those in the cut-scenes, portraits, and enemies, are great.
  • The game has fantastic music. A lot of the themes are quite memorable with great melodies. It also makes good use of dynamic music which changes depending on how well you're doing in combat and how many people are in your party.

Bad

  • The introductory story is horrible. Rhys marries some random woman who washed up on the shore, then she's kidnapped by a dragon, then Rhys swears to get her back even if it means invading Laya, which people think are already dead, so the king puts him in the dungeon which is filled with money and equipment, and a strange woman helps him escape. So he goes to find a cyborg who has been waiting for him for a 1,000 years. Not a good start!
  • The button setup is a bit odd. Using the same button for attacking and the status menu is very unusual.
  • The map design leaves a lot to be desired. Most of the dungeons are just boring mazes, the towns all look the same, and the domes aren't much better.

Ugly

  • Nothing.
