 Lost in Blue3 June 30, 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

If you want to fully enjoy this game, you should probably try playing Lost in Blue 1 or 2 first. Since a lot of the survival techniques are pretty much the same in all three games, it is easier to start with the older games to build up your survival skills. However, it seemed a lot easier to survive in Lib3 because you have fully functional partners. In Lib1, the girl was legally blind because the Guy character broke her glasses. Unlike in Lib1, in Lib3 you can give your partners commands such as finding water, firewood or food, which saves you the main character a lot of precious time trying to find sustenance for everyone and still being able to explore the island. Lib3 has the best story lines and plot twists with multiple endings. In fact, I didn't even bother beating Lib1 or 2 because the stories in those two were not very intriguing. Well, also in Lib1 or 2 the mortality rate is higher. I guess in Lib1 or 2 you are like college students so there is higher expectation out of you. However, in Lib3 you are teenagers, so it is more lenient. I have to say I love the animeish character designs in Lib3!
There are a couple things I need to address to the reviewer who gave this game one star. If you know how to find a washed up bottle or an oil drum, they will save you and your partners from dehydration. If you know that your partners will not eat when they are dehydrated, then it will explain why they say they cannot eat anything when they are hungry. A lot of those things are common sense though. You should try to immerse yourself in the game environment and try to imagine you are stranded on a deserted island with very limited provisions. Try to think what if it were you, what will you do to try to survive.
Definitely try this title if you like figuring things out on your own. Think creatively, and be more aware of weather changes in the game. Also talking to your partners daily will give you hints on how to proceed. One last thing though, if you liked hunting in Lib1 or 2, you will probably be disappointed with Lib3. I played through the whole game without catching any large animals. Well the more interesting stories really make up for its short comings. It was fun playing through this game. Now I could play as different characters. I want to recommend this game to everyone who likes exploring and making things.

I'm a die-hard fan of these games, and this is the best one yet. It solves some of the problems of the previous versions, and adds some plot twists. Note that It helps to have played LIB2 before you play this one.
