Very high polish, great graphics with stellar cinematics. Gameplay still holds up as well. Not your typical parasite eve but a very fun game none the less. Recommend if you can snag it for a good deal.

Want something that betrays the spirit of Parasite Eve and completely misses the point of the main character? Then The Third Birthday is for you! While the gameplay isn't that bad, the lack of a second analog stick is annoying, and abilities can hardly be used manually. Instead, you use a DNA board to randomly get abilities, and retry for hours just to get what you want, and most activate randomly! The game is made to be played multiple times, but going through it once was painful enough. And the story is where the game just becomes incoherent, relying on the player to constantly read the notes/datalogs to find out what the hell is going on. And as stated earlier, very few past characters are used in this game, and the new ones hardly have anything to them as plot points are dropped. Now some may say the twist excuses Aya's behavior, but it actually makes the story worse, considering the considerable lack of character development, and comes across as pointless if they were telling the story this way. The only good things are visuals, sound effects, and music, but that's kind of expected from Square Enix.Read full review

I loved that Square Enix brought back Aya Brea. The game itself has good graphics (for a PSP game), an interesting story and good kinematics, although the control (thanks to the limitations of PSP) becomes complicated on occasion. The bad news is, as a sequel to Parasite Eve, it leaves something to be desired. They tried to create a sequel that had nothing to do with the previous installments, and they created a game that, although good, would have looked better as a completely new game, instead of a sequel that has little to do with previous installments, to the point that you don't need to know anything about the previous games to play this one. Despite my criticism of history, I absolutely recommend it.

I love case artwork and gameplay. I have been a fan of the series for years and was finally able to get my hands on 3rd birthday

Fun game! Very exciting and it has great graphics. You don't need to have played the previous 2 games to enjoy this one.
