Suikoden III excels in its great story and deep combat. 0
Having never played Suikoden or Suikoden II, I had no idea what to expect from this game. I expected the standard Final Fantasy-style RPG, which Suikoden III is at its core.

NOTE: this review was written years ago for GameSpot, but I decided to upload it to GB also. Enjoy!*************Konami’s Suikoden RPG series has been a hit in the hearts of many gamers. Its sales, however, tell a different story, especially for Suikoden II, whose timing couldn’t have been worse (it was released around the time Final Fantasy VIII hit store shelves). Fortunately for the fans, Konami realizes how much love the Suikoden series gets, even if they don’t sell a bazillion copies. And fo...
