Oh. There's already this on here. Oops. World 1 is still a good yet quirky game. For 3, 2003 is the definitely better game, however it only operates at 50 fps instead of 60 as it was a european focused released. But it has an entire endgame attached to it.
But digimon world 3 in general is a great example of a great idea but poor execution. Rife with backtracking to the absolute maximum was used to make up for the lack of content, but out of all the digimon games, this one achieves the ideal more than most. A limited amount of individual digimon you can acquire makes you appreciate each one more, and their ability to evolve into multiple stronger forms accomplishes more than you need for progression.
And i don't know if there's any other digimon game that actually has your digimon get reverted back to a digimon for anything non combat, like literally all of the shows. Cybersleuth, in contrast, the endgame would have you have 3 mega level digimon following behind you 24/7, and taking up most of the screen real estate; but in DW3, they're just rookies. And the digivolving mechanic provides a lot experimentation.
Know what you're getting into. A good game this is not. A tolerably decent one, maybe. But as a digimon game, it so far remains my favourite, and wish that Bandai would someday reattempt it's premise in a new release.
Great digimon implementation in anotherwise meh game. Love it all the same.
