Amazon.com Product Description: This anticipated sequel to the popular Monster Rancher 2 takes place long ago, before the official declaration of monster battles as a competitive sport. There lived at the time a group called the Tochikans. No one but the leader of the Tochikans had the power to generate monsters from Saucer Stones. As more people began migrating to the land, monsters were given to them to help with labor and ease the everyday hardships of their lives. Over time, monster battles began taking place at various festivals and town get-togethers. This quickly became a popular activity, and eventually large-scale battles were held. People started to hire full-time "breeders" in order to remain competitive in the fast-paced world of monster battles.
Monster Rancher 3 features cel-shading technology to give it a real cartoon look and feel. Players can create a stable full of monsters using ordinary CDs, DVDs, or other video games. The game generates monsters unique to each set of data, and a player can then raise, train, breed, and enter them into battle with other monsters. The first game that utilizes Sony's Picture Paradise technology, Monster Rancher 3 lets players take pictures with their Sony digital cameras and transfer them to monsters in the game.

Rating: - Monster Rancher 3
This game is amazing! There are 5 areas,Brilla,Takrama,Morax,Goat Ocean, and Kalagari.You start at the shrine where you have a lot of blabbering. You enter your name and gender, and Grandpa Bragma refuses to give you a monster. You walk away and meet Flarea who blackmails Grandpa Bragma into giving you a monster. Then you choose wheather to have a premade monster (Zoom, Hare, or Mooci), or use a disc. Then some stuff happens and either a monster apears or Grandpa Bragma tells you that that monster is too strong and you have to try again. After you have a monster ,you go to Morax. A girl will come and you will battle.After battleing , Grandpa Bragma comes and gives you a mask. You start training and your monster's stats go up .A monster's training takes 1 week.You can watch the training. At the beginning of each month you feed you monster. You also can participate in battles or "Light of Earth". 4 times a year there is a Tokichin Festa, a big battle.If you win the Tokichin Festa, you and your monster go up a leval. There is a lot more I didn't type, but you will love this game.
Rating: - This game is cool.
This game has a lot of monsters. You can really get into the game, so you might even be sad when your monster dies (like my goat ocean hengar). The battles aren't just rock paper sissors style, and the psrollers are SO cute. The Tamarak lord is AWESOME and you get new skills. Both girls and boys can enjoy it, because there are the cutesy-wootsy monsters, and for boys there is the awesome dragons and robots and knights and more stuff to. AND YOU GET TO WEAR COOL STUFF! You choose the food for your monster, and you don't need to (thogh it is cool) use other disks because it comes with 3 monsters alredy in your encyclopida.
Rating: - A Good Game
this game is fun. there are new monsters to unlock, the battle system is good, and the story line is good too. but lolocking monsters can take a long time if you have alot of C.D's. And 1 thing i thought is really good, once you unlock a monster there is a profile of which monsters you get and if a monster you really like dies, you can unlock it for the profile. i kinda wish they didn't take out the Phonix monster from moster Racher 2. For the power of the monster i suggest you power up 1.) life 2.)speed 3.) power. i've done best with the 3 things. over all the game is fun.
Rating: - Its all right.
This game is a never ending game with no real ending to it. Some monsters look really cool and others don't. My favorite is the dragons. I got one. You can play this game forever and you really won't "beat it". Its a great game for those who like to train animals or monsters. The best thing is that you can put CD's and DVD's in and you get a monster out of it. You can also compete with your monster in tournaments. When your monster dies, you can just get another one. Overall, its pretty good and those who liked the Game Boy Pokemon games will probably like this.
Rating: - Life after monster rancher
Monster Rancher 3 is a monster raising simulation unlike any other on the market. You "create" monsters by using cds, dvds, and PSX and PS2 games, and raise them to compete in battles in the game. There are 5 different raising locales: A desert, a forest, a jungle, underwater, and artic. Each locale has its own unique drills that are used to raise your monster's attributes (power, intelligence, speed, defense, and life) and grow stronger to fight in harder battles. This is a very basic summary of Monster Rancher 3. Overall i found it to be enjoyable, but very brief and hardly challenging. There is very little to do in the game after you beat the final boss, unlike the other games in the monster rancher series. However, an online community of Monster Ranchers has sprung up and supports Monster Rancher 3 in their own way: The hold online monster rancher tournaments. How? By using an Interact Sharkport to send the save files to a host, and broadcasting the fights live in a chatroom, the online community has found a way to extend the replay value of Monster Rancher 3. And that is exactly the area in which MR3 lacks. So if you have the game, or are thinking about buying it, look up monster rancher metropolis and legendcup on the web for more information.
