 A Revolution Forgotten March 18, 2008
It pains me that this game, while enjoyed by die-hard fans of Phantasy Star, it was ultimately forgotten by gamers. Several decided that because it wasn't a new game with the EXACT same play style as Episodes I & II, it was therefore a terrible game. I say play the freaking game, without a biased mindset, and realize that C.A.R.D. Revolution is a fresh, one of a kind masterpiece! As for the seller, since it was a direct link from SEGA, I wasn't surprised that it came in a timely manner, untouched. Good game; hail SEGA.

The game is OK at best, but if you are a Phantasy Star freek you have to get it. Fun when you get to know the ins and outs of it.
 Ruined a perfectly good game May 15, 2007

I'm a big fan of Phantasy Star 1 and 2 (despite number 2's incredibly short story), so I was excited for a number three, but also hesitant about it being a card RPG. I heard that it was a huge hit in Japan and decided to give it a shot. The first two were good games, I admit not great, but they kept me entertained and constantly working for cool new weapons. Number 3 however is a completely different story. Fans of the hack and slash nature of the first two might as well not even bother with this installment since it's a turn based card battle system based on dice rolls and cards in your hand. You roll the dice and divide up your dice roll between moving your character, using/equipping cards, and actions, which all cost dice rolls. Thus, you get a big roll you can do a lot in your turn, you get a small roll your SOL, hope for a better roll next turn if you survive. Now I'm not hating on card RPG's here, I have nothing against them, but fans of the previous two games may be sadly dissapointed. There's also no exploring levels like in the first two. You chose a mission and it throws you right into the one battle for that mission, just one. However, in my case, the game overall was just plain boring. I foung myself falling asleep right in the middle of a battle after only two or three battles. I continued to try and force my way through about 15-20 hours of gameplay hoping the game would livenup... it didn't. Overall, if you liked exploring levels and hacking up hords of monsters with cool new weapons (basically the entire concept of the first two), I wouldn't bother with this third installment, sorry to dissapoint.
 Great, but not the best July 24, 2006

PSO 3 is a game that many people have unfairly discarded because its a card game. I admit, it took a little time for me to get into it, but it has great soundtrack and decent graphics, a good storyline, and great gameplay. Not the absolute best, but still high up there!
This game is simple!!!! but fun. March 31, 2005

This game is fun and really easy. it has a tutorial in the game so you don't need a manuel. you can change what the premade charters look like (I think) after you beat the game. It is really fun and has more of a story than pso1&2 the only thing I don't like is that it is turn based. but it is still really fun. i do recomend renting it before you buy it though. also you can choose to be the dark side or the light side. this game is really fun and I give a 5.
