After being a bit dissapointed with Megaman Starforce 1&2, i was unsure if it would be good to get Megaman Starforce 3. So in a sunny morning... i`ve noticed that i had some extra cash plus the one i got after selling Knights in the Nightmare to my best friend, so i was thinking: "Why not?". I bought the Megaman SF3 at Gamestop for 30 bucks, not a bad deal. So i turned the DS on.....

HOLY COW BATMAN!!! Seems Capcom has been taking classes of "how to make a good game". The game greatly improved compared to the prequels. I was really surprised... and pleased. The characters are far more loveable now and the story is better. Newer features add a new feeling to the gaming experience. The battles are more fluid and the random encounter chance (main issue with megaman starforce 2) has been reduced greatly to the point that is not annoying anymore.

Sometimes, a poweful enemy might pursue you (the game warns you if this happens), if this happens, even if you stand still, this powerful enemy will engage you in battle, they are powerful, but still beatable, unless you happen to meet a super rare and powerful Omega encounter. In this case, the battle area will have an unusual glow to add a feeling that the omega foe that you are facing is not a normal enemy, not to mention that they can can kill you easily, however this type of encounter does not make you gameover and go back to the title screen, instead it will just leave you with one HP at the same place you was when you encountered this omega enemy. (did i told you that they are very rare?)

The game also support the brother bands over wi-fi and wi-fi battles, brother bands increase your power when you make a brother band with any of your friends that also own a megaman starforce 3 game.

Oh, you can do other stuff on wi-fi like sending email to your friends or forming groups, which makes the experience far more compelling.

So yeah, i`ve been enjoying this game. It really shows how games can be improved. If you want a new rpg, Megaman starforce 3 might be what you`re looking for. This game is recommended by meiaman.

(PS: If you plan to get it or got it already, let me know, so maybe we can form a brother band, heh.)

Well, this is meiaman, over and out.

From what you've said it seems like one (or two) to watch. If I see it in the store, I'll try and pick it up.

I thought that you like Knights in the nightmare so why did you sell it?You even give it a 9.0 but anyway,i guess that was your choice and not mine.I was planning to get it since i'm new to the whole starforce series but at first,i wanted black ace but then i saw alot of people that had black ace so i changed my mind about it and wanted to get Red joker instead.Only problem is,i'm stuck between Red joker and SMT-Devil survivor and i heard that the two were excellent games.Maybe you can help a brother out here?

@TriniPlayer Well, i liked KitN but the game didn`t appeal to me enough to continue playing after finishing it... so i sold it... i might as well change my score to 8.5 for KitN. BTW, i cant help you decide because i dont have Devil Survivor.

@blazing_quilava Surely, just send me a PM or something later.

@TriniPlayer: go with red joker I've never played devil survivor, but this black ace and red joker ROCK!!!!!!!

@Blazing quilava
Thanks for the recommendation man but i heard that Devil Survivor is a great game and GS even give it a 9.0 which is excellent.

O.O are you talking about one of those sucky starforce games that i happen to own the 2nd? THE ENCOUNTERS ARE A STEP AWAY FROM THE OTHER!!! i hate that game, hate the random encounters, hate the story, hate the characters, doesn't even have voices(japanese one HAD voice-overs) hate the battles and hate the change from 2d(love is in the air) to 3d(*puke*)
1)did i mention that i srsly hate that game?
2)when proven wrong reffer to "1)"
WHY DID YOU CHANGE KitN(didn't like it too much, your right, didn't appeal to me neither) FOR THAT THING!!??

Glad your enjoying it.

@thomassmash Ops, seems i`ve pissed someone =O. I don`t like megaman battle network 2 because of the same issue, high random encounters. But they fixed this and a lot of stuff on Megaman starforce 3. Worry not thomas, i`m still an Atlus fan at heart.

I miss Mega Man series especially Mega Man X.

cool! I got Black Ace but haven't played it yet, since I wanna finish SMT : Devil Survivor first xD. Good to see that the story is better. I'll inform you when I start playing this game so that we can form a brotherband.
