    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

    Não sei porque esse jogo é tão subestimado. Sinceramente é um dos melhores RPGs que joguei na época do PS1. O melhor Digimon da franquia, na minha humilde opinião.

    The game has many Pokémon-inspired mechanics, which is perhaps why it has so many negative reviews of itself. But today, in an era where Catch Monsters is more of an RPG subgenre than an exclusive Pokémon mechanic, I can say that this is the best Digimon game ever made.

The vast world, the variety of scenery, the various digivolution mechanics, the championship league, the various bosses to face along the way. Everything in this game fits together in such a way that you want to explore the game more and more. It has its difficulties, but it's a matter of time and adaptation to understand the game.… Expand

    OTRA VEZ BANDAI METIO BUG EN UN JUEGO DE DIGIMON
    No llegue ni al final antes de aburrirme de el, es un juego muy difícil! me gustan los diseños exteriores de los digimos, los paisajes y la música, el juego ambienta muy bien, cuando viajas con submarimon en el agua, te sentís asfixiado por los obstáculos pasillescos, los encuetros aleatorios, el juego de cartas tiene es muy adictivo, pero    OTRA VEZ BANDAI METIO BUG EN UN JUEGO DE DIGIMON

    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.

    I love Digimon but I thoroughly did not enjoy this game. After a while it just starts to drain any enjoyment you can get from it. The amount of times that the game just expects you to know exactly where to go without any clue is mind boggling. The digivolution system is very confusing and gives you absolutely no direction as to how to attain the next step without a guide.

    They also went way too far with backtracking, especially in the late game. The story is paper thin and the characters one-dimensional. Going in its favour is a very enjoyable gwent-like card game, a damn good soundtrack and cutscenes that are absolutely gorgeous, damn near the quality of Final Fantasy X on the PS2. Granted, its 2021, the 2 Cyber Sleuth games are infinitely better in comparison with better stories and characters and systems. I just played this to beat all the games I couldnt when I was much younger, which makes it worse because I realize I didnt have a chance in hell of beating this when I was younger. If you get curious enough to play this, for the love of God keep a walkthrough strapped to your side.    … Expand

    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.

    Im a pokemon fan, Pokemon red was my first game ever, and always looked down to Digimon, seeing it as a "cash-grab ripoff", but this game managed to change my view over the franchise for the rest of my life. The pixel art blended with 2000's 3D its beautiful to this day, style later seem by Octopath Traveler, pokemon black etc. there is a ton of digimon to evolve, boss battles and buildsIm a pokemon fan, Pokemon red was my first game ever, and always looked down to Digimon, seeing it as a "cash-grab ripoff", but this game managed to change my view over the franchise for the rest of my life.

    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.

    It is an amazing game if you are a fan of Digimon. It is not perfect and there is space for improvement, but it is not a bad game as the reviewers said back then.

    The third time is definitely not the charm. [July 2002, p.128]

    Profoundly mediocre, the kind of game that only hardcore Digi-fans will like. [June 2002, p.102]

    Despite some impressive world-map graphics and extremely catchy anime-style music, Digimon World 3 disappoints in countless ways.
