From Amazon.com

Originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Dragon Warrior III is a Game Boy Color port of one of the all-time classic role-playing games. The game reunites two of Japan's greatest RPG talents in Yuji Horii (story and game) and Akira Toriyama (character design). Toriyama is also known as the creator of the immensely popular Dragon Ball cartoons and comics. A prequel to the first two games in the series, DWIII casts you as the child of a great hero who must defeat an evil demon. New additions to the port include improved graphics, new minigames, new items, and a better translation of the original Japanese dialogue.

The game starts off with a personality test that loosely determines how other characters will react to you. Gameplay is standard RPG fare: exploring, building experience levels, acquiring allies, gaining weapons, and ultimately going after a large monster. There are some interesting minigames to mix things up. The Monster Medals feature adds a collectible aspect to the game. Monsters may leave medals behind after you defeat them. Some monsters only appear during certain times of the day. Getting all the medals unlocks a secret dungeon. You can trade medals via link cable to make things easier. Most RPG fans will love this game, but those raised on modern RPGs might find its combat a bit tedious. This game is compatible with Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance only. --Raymond M. Padilla

Pros:

Classic gameplay Excellent monster and character design Between 40 to 60 hours of play Cons: Battles can get repetitive A few character classes borderline on useless Graphics appear dark on Game Boy Advance

mY pERSONNEL rECCOMMENDATION (2003-06-18)

My personal reccommnedation, is to not buy this game. I spent 15 hours looking for this fuzzy ball thing to redeem for the Golden Sword, in which only works against Fire element enemies.

A classic (2003-06-11)

This game is, in my opinion, the role model for which all GBC games should be. However, with the GBA out now, people are simply ignoring this for Golden Sun. Golden Sun really is something special, but they are missing a lot from passing over this. This game has a compelling storyline, a classical combat system, and lush graphics. You can really tell that Enix really put their heart into improving this game. The combat system is easy to learn. The item system is easy to learn. Nothing in this game is really complex. It's a shame that they had to give it a teen rating, because little kids could understand how to play this game.

Best RGP In The Entire Universe (2003-06-06)

This game is the greatest RPG of all time. The graphics might be a little outdated and the battle system repetitive, but besides that its great. A word of caution though: DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME UNLESS YOU ARE TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY DEVOTED TO BEATING THIS GAME. And here's why: when you beat the final boss of the game the game doesn't end. A new world is opened to you and a new final boss to beat. Unless you have like 80 or a 100 spare hours on your hands do not play this. I have had this game for about two years and I still haven't beaten it and I consider myself a pretty good gamer. For example: I beat Golden Sun in a week and beat Breath of Fire in six days.

Wow!A good game! (2003-02-06)

This game is easy to master yet it is challenging.I have played it,and it seems better than the rest!

pretty fun but EXTREMELY HARD!!! (2002-12-17)

this is a very hard RPG game...in the beginning you get to choose 3 members to come along with you on your journey, there's tons of different classes to choose from. it's really hard but pretty fun....

Note:Buy this if your a RPG master who craves a challenge
