Grandia III - 56 hours, Yuki 73, Alfina 65, Ulf 75, Dahna 74. Fascinating ending, I truely did not waste my time with this game like I thought I did.

Oh a review eh? I have to edit this then.

A shortened version as I'm out of time for today, I'll start with the music.

The music in Grandia III is inferior to what is played in Grandia II and the end boss theme is so lame that I didn;t enjoy the final battle at all. The regular battle music was spectacular - sporting a mixture of pop/rock and alittle bit of techno =p, it wasn't all weird and goofy like in say..FFX-2 >_>. The boss battle themes were actually remixs of the regular battle themes, but it sounded awesome none the less. I feel though that the OST is not worth buying as there is only 3-4 tracks that are worth listening to.

Sound - 6/10

In battle the controls were the traditional Grandia system, however outside of battle you are at the mercy of a really crappy camera. In some dungeons you can't turn the camera all the way and there will be instances where the camera could cause you to get into an unwanted fight, like in Melc Ruins when the walls COVER YOUR WHOLE SCREEN and you end up getting into a pre-emptive fight with a Red Beast.


Controls - 7/10 + 1 cause of the old school battle system.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
