Wild Arms 3 Playstation 2 Reviewed: 6/7/03
The Wild Arms 3 story surrounds a Wild
West-like setting known as Filgaia. At this time in history, the world is covered in sand and
only drifters dare to travel the lands and discover the treasures it
holds. This is where four completely different drifters rise and their
fates cross paths. They soon realize that they share the same thirst
for discovering the secrets of Filgaia and why it is the way it is.
As the game progresses they always manage to stay stuck with each other
and then they become a team, battling the evil forces that threaten
Filgaia's very existence.
Even though WA3 has no in-game CG cut scenes, that doesn't stop it from having beautiful graphics. This latest installment in the Wild Arms series graphics is made of pure cell-shading. Some people like this new style and some don't. The cell-shading in this game is done really well and gives the RPG a unique look. The opening movie in Wild Arms is drawn anime style and just like its counter parts changes as the game progresses. All the music in Wild Arms is set in a Wild West fashion, because that is what SCEA was trying to express. Nothing too exciting in this category, but then again all Wild Arms games don't match other games when it relates to ground-breaking music.
WA3's gameplay resembles that of more traditional RPG's. It shadows games like the Final Fantasy series. The battle system resembles that of previous Wild Arms games, but now instead of two characters having "ARMs" as weapons, (specialized guns) they all carry ARMs. A lot of the other things gamers enjoyed about the last two Wild Arms make a return in this one like: the use of tools, mediums, dashing, and pull/pushing objects. There is also the return of brain busting puzzles this series is famous for. The controls are simple and easy to
navigate threw. The only difficulty
Wild Arms 3 is a must-buy for fans of
the Wild Arms series. People new to -Q Jets
