 Fun, but very sexist~ August 3, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have really enjoyed the depth and storyline of Lost in Blue 3. I did choose to start the game with Claire only to realize she can't do/use half the stuff available because she's not male.
If your character is Claire you can make fishing poles but can't use them, bow & arrow but can't use them, even diving has to be done by the males in your group. I don't even know why she is able to make half the stuff available if she can't use it and none of her group will either. She can't make rope, rafts, or furniture without a guys help. The only thing the males can't do is basket weaving...and that is left to the only female character in your group that you don't find till much later in the game.
It is unrealistic to think a female stuck on a deserted island wouldn't/couldn't do these things herself. Being so far into the game I don't want to start over as a male, but I hate that I am missing out on these other features just because my character is a girl.
I can only give the game 2 stars for their decision to limit the female characters in an unnecessary way. If it weren't for that one major flaw the game would be 4-5 stars.
:(
Better then 2 July 25, 2008

LIB3 is a Solid game with lots of game play, a variety of stuff to do. and it has a good story behind it. I don't like how the made the cooking and furniture designing exactly like Lost in Blue 2, but it mixes it up with the 4 characters and other activities too. I Haven't Beat the game yet. But i hope to some day. Can't wait to play the Wii version "Shipwrecked". Overall, if you like the survival, puzzle, play for 4 hours and not relize it game, then this game is worth the 30 bucks.

First, let me start off by saying that I am a 45-year-old woman, not a "kid", anymore!
I loved this game.
The only down-sides are:
Your co-survivors still aren't smart enough to eat or drink without you babysitting them.
When you discover something new (oil barrels, clay pot, flat slab) you have to return to your base to ask them about the items, before you are able to use them.
Otherwise, if you enjoyed either or both of the first two LIB games, you'll love this one, too. I actually found this one easier to complete than the others. Well quicker, anyway!
James is a very good hunter, and having him around to go get food is a huge benefit. He'll bring you large quantities of meats, along with the lard and fur, and then you'll also have an abundant quantity of large bones to sharpen for hooks and spears.
Love, love, love these games, Konami - keep 'em coming!
Addictive, easier than the first 2, but sexist April 7, 2008

LIB 3 was much more pleasant a playing experience for me because I didn't have a hard time keeping my characters alive, like I did with LIB 2. I didn't bother with LIB 1 because you can only play as the boy, and the girl is pretty much useless. As a 40 plus year old woman, I find that to be unacceptable. It's one thing if the character is male... but if there's a female character and she's useless, I'm not interested in playing.
For LIB 3, I was able to play as the girl and like I said earlier, stay alive without extreme difficulty, although I did have to quick save often at tricky points (like entering the poison gas zone).
As far as using the left-right buttons to make the fire, I'm happy to say that what started out as awkward handling of the DS (and my grumbling that the game was made for kids with more adept ability at handling this kind of task, and not us middle aged folks who were at the forefront of gaming back when home computers took ahold of the nation), I was able to evolve myself into being able to very nimbly start that fire. If you don't want to press L and R, you don't have to - you can use the stylus to do it.
The game is sexist though. The female character can't hunt for food other than spear fishing, and she needs a guy to help her build things. That aside, it was enormous fun playing through and once i figured out how to keep my companions happy, I was able to relegate a lot of food finding to my companion James who would go hunting and find me wolf , deer and pigeon meet while I engaged in activities that furthered the game.
This game was superior to LIB 2 for me for the following reasons:
1) I liked the anime style graphics better because I could see stuff easier.
2) Food filled me up faster, enabling me to get more done before I got hungry
3) It was much harder to die. I didn't lose life percentages if I didn't eat all day even with an empty stomach
