    This was 1 of the best games ever made for the ps1. People who say that digimon 3 is rubbish cannot find decent games to play even if it was right in front of them.

    I honestly can't be mad at the critics reviews of this game.

    As for myself, I love this game. Both Digimon World 1 & 3 are fantastic games in my mind because neither of them hold your hand. They expect you to pay attention & also not be afraid to just guess your way through certain aspects of the game. DW3 straight up becomes murder mode later in the game. I love the challenge &    I honestly can't be mad at the critics reviews of this game.

    I love the challenge & ambiguous nature of these games. I can also see why people would dislike the game. It has a decent amount of backtracking, just so you can talk to one character on the other side of the map.

    For myself though, I enjoy that aspect of the game.

    It's a nostalgia trip, while I'm sure the critics whom played this back in 2002 just found it to be a knuckle dragging experience.

    As a 11 year old boy, I didn't know any better so this was a blast to grind through!    … Expand

    This is one of the best PlayStation games I've ever played, mainly because the graphics in the game are so well done, even for its generation and year. This was June 5th in 2002, and look at the battle graphics! They look absolutely stunning, and that was on 64-bit PlayStation! Maybe if they were on PS2 they would've looked awesome!

    The game does very well at what it tries to do; and why the critics on this site turn this down so badly, I don't know. This is freakin' Digimon! That's basically all there is to say about that!

    The game's gameplay is very good; the main world has the main character running from a sort of top-down view that separates it from other RPGs, whilst the battling system is in full 3D. There are only 8 Digimon you can obtain, but each one is intertwined to all the other beast's evolutionary forms in some form. For instance, Veemon can change into Grizzmon (Kumamon's "Champion" form), and Agumon can change into Growlmon (Guilmon's "Champion" form), through leveling up stats, and training them at the Gym.

    I don't want to spoil any more of the game, so go try and play it for yourself! You'll be glad you did!    … Expand

" and "Profoundly mediocre, the kind of game that only hardcore Digi-fans will like.", and i personally Love this game i remember little about the show. it was ok at best and i got tired of it by season 3. There is also the fact i hate turn base games all together except this one. A giant Map with almost endless playable character options, is why i love the game, but i can quote another siting that state the opposite again, "For a game whose main gameplay component is building up your characters, Digimon World 3 makes the process needlessly complicated and annoying. ". Another thing that makes this game great for us, is the same thing the "critics" hate? looks like long time overdue on new and better critics who might take more than two seconds at a game i have put over 180 hours into. Also in the last passage i sited, him saying about the good music, i find the music annoying and keep it muted, as there was no talking back then (witch i have no problem with) there is no need for the "catchy" style music. The story of this game is great, and purposely different from the show so the two never needs it integrand, unlike something else sited in this page. Last but not lest, "The third time is definitely not the charm", the other two was ok at best and really tiring, this really was the charm, to bad dumb critics like this blew that for you. i would love to see a new 2015 Digimon Online make for real where we can play as digimon, i know this will likely never happen but that is my vote and option. thank you all, hope you enjoyed.… Expand

    This game was a being point for me in the franchise of Digimon, also the game was a good follow up to Digimon World 2. It was also the second open world Digimon game, it beat World 2 in graphics, and the story was more fun. The game also had brought more of the anime and manga into it.

    Don't listen to the negative reviews. Digimon World is a beatiful and big game, with a smart battle and digivolving system, and also a card game as secondary battle system. In my opinion, it's better than most Pokemon games, and I'm a big fan of both franchises. Give it a try and don't be a hater.

    Anyways, Onto the review.
    The story is bad? NO WAY!!! there will be spoilers here for the story so be warned...
    It starts out with your character trying to be the world champ, but then terrorists called the A.O.A. attack and have plans to release Galacticmon. There is a lot more I'm missing but I want to make this short. The plot works well, but what really makes the game good is the mood. There are so many different areas in the game and each one gives you a distinct atmosphere. I even felt a bit creeped out if you play this at night...

    Game play sucks? Good joke, play the whole game before reviewing
    Now the grinding may be an issue to some, but I personally feel that is part of the fun in a jrpg! There is also a lot of backtracking and the game doesn't really tell you where to go, but once you find it you'll feel like, "Ahhh, finally!" You'd be very accomplished. Also, I find it fun to explore! The battling is great too! Fighting digimon feels soo good and the game gives you many techniques and digivoloutions to learn!!

    I also love the anime style music and the graphics are average.
    Overall, this gets a 10. Stop hating. Please.    … Expand

You have to earnA turn-based RPG that involves a lot of grinding (easily bypassed with cheats on emulators or using a Game Shark), but has a neat sprite-based overworld (compared to the 3D overworld of the first two Digimon World games) and 3D-modeled combat. Each digimon can earn numerous different digivolutions and you can store any three of those digivolutions to use, of any variety. You have to earn each digivolution, as (excluding Veemon), all of your rookie digimon only earn three forms through leveling alone and the rest must be earned by having appropriate stats and leveling your more powerful forms.

    In short, you can make Guilmon and Veemon into Beelzemon if he's your favorite and you want more than one for some reason, but this only shows during combat. You can equip your favorite digivolution for use at the start of combat. It's not immediately obvious how to do this, but you can access it from the status screen, then you just click over to the right and select which equipped form you want that digimon to start out as, assuming you have unlocked a new form at the time.

    Lastly, while the combat is fairly basic and without a walkthrough you'll probably get lost a lot in the story, it is relatively fun. I'd rate it lower, but as far as a Digimon RPG goes, it's about as good as it gets. It's not horrible, but isn't the pinnacle of gaming, either and it depends on what you want out of a Digimon game. If you want a glorified Tamagotchi simulator with combat, get the first game. If you want an RPG experience with digimon and a good mix of aesthetic, then get this one. If you want to fight with more than one digimon at one time like a Final Fantasy RPG, the second game might appeal more to you.

    It's not perfect, but it is enjoyable. Just don't go in expecting a flawless game. For what it is, it's fun. I won't lie, though, I liked it more as a kid because I had lower standards, but even so, I still play it and not because of nostalgia.    … Expand

    Vale ressaltar também a extrema dificuldade do jogo e o longo tempo de campanha (eu zerei em 112 horas. Mas era um save que comecei ainda criança, quando não sabia nada de inglês). Se você acha que é um jogo simples e infantil, recomendo que passe longe deste jogo.

Secondly, directions can be lacking at times. "Let's go find Lisa!" resulted in me chasing through every building in four cities before I managed to find her, as there was no direction given as to where she would be found. In the game's favor, however, is the leveling and evolution system. It shows well the interwoven web that is Digimon evolution and, above that, is unique in the ability to train each form individually - the signature techs should have been at a more reasonable level, however. The game music is good and the field graphics are rather "cute". The battle graphics could have used work, and Galacticmon should have been quite a lot harder in my opinion. Overall, I'd still give the game a rating of 7.5-8. It's enjoyable for the most part and quite a lot stronger than the previous games in most respects.… Expand

    The best part about this game is that it has the Digimon from Season 1,2,3, and 4. The worst part about the game is the graphics. The graphics are pretty bad for a PS1 game. It's way better than any of those Pokemon games. The only thing that is cool about Pokemon is Mewtwo. Who says Digimon is dead?

    I probably spent more than 500 hours in this game, In PSX, ps2, PC, PSP, and even phone, and sadly never beat it always had a corrupt game that crash near the end, and that never stopped me from playing it over and over, and after all these years and after all that time I spent, I always discover something new

    This game literally perfected what Pokemon tried for decades.
    It's got a huge open world with many secrets and NPCs to find. Cities to explore and a great card game.
    The music is extremely catchy and fun. Animations are hella cute and the story is just as funny as it is good.
    This is the ultimate Digimon game.

    Um ótimo RPG de turno, com notórias semelhanças à franquia de jogos Pokémon.
    Visualmente é bem bonito, possui uma boa trilha sonora e uma ótima jogabilidade.
    Esse jogo possui 2 versões, a Digimon World 3 e Digimon World 2003, a maior diferente é que na 2003, que seria a europeia, possui um pós game, enquanto na americana não há nada após a batalha final.

    Digimon World 3 is the game I played most. I tried to complete it about 12 times since my childhood to adulthood until I reach the end. It's a little bit slow in the beggining, but is unforgetabble a has one of the best soundtracks I've heard.
