Phantasy Star Collection Review PS3 Unique Enough

With the third game Sega decided to make some sweeping alterations, but the core gameplay fundamentally.

In Phantasy Star III, things arent always what they seem - check it out and watch the mysteries unfold.

Phantasy Star 3 really doesnt have any tie-ins to the first two phantasy Star games.

Phantasy Star 3 wasnt made by the same people that did the first 2 Phantasy Stars.

The people who did Phantasy Star 3, also did Sword of Vermillion.

I didnt like it. The generations concept was interesting, but I found the game really slow and boring.

Spoiler Warning In one of the four endings, you go through a black hole and end up near earth.

It doesnt show what happens at the end of this ending (other than, but in the ending of Phantasy Star II, we know that the people who created Mother Brain were from Earth.

I think the layout of the final level of PSII (Noah) is similar to the ship Alisa III.

The game is just overlong, often feeling aimless and incredibly cheap--every time youre male character is years older and no longer playable, the difference in his portrait is a cheaply-applied mustache (though admittedly, that was one of the biggest laughs Ive ever gotten out of a game).

Phantasy Star Collection Review PS3 Unique Enough

Surprisingly though, the plot proved to be downright inspired and incredibly creative, making PS3 unique enough to warrant a look.

Should hardcore RPG fans put up with this game for the good stuff Im leaning towards yes, as a matter of duty.

There were parts in it that really stuck in my brain but they were so vague until now.

I cant wait till the DS remake so I can play the offical game (not a traslated ROM).

Though honestly I havent played this game I think I might buy the GBA Phantasy Star Collection (with I-III), but that means Ill have to wait on the VC to get PHIV.

I guess having to play it in 50Hz (83) would be equivilent to torture.

I managed to get past the first generation before getting stuck in generation 2 and shelving it.

Anybody getting into Phantasy Star probably shouldnt start with this game.

They tried to make it too different and really ruined the Phantasy Star experience for me personally.

Its playable, but if youre expecting the same old Phantasy Star experience, youre likely in for a disappointment.
