Our four favorite champions are back in this side-scrolling beat'm up by Banpresto - Ultraman, Gundam,
Kamen Rider and Fighter Roa are back and ready to save the world. Our friends were
peacefully flying their spaceship when a meteor appeared from nowhere and hit them. They
make a desparate landing on a weird planet from another time. Unlike other games of the series,
this third opus happens during medieval times and our heroes have traded their usual
laser guns and plasma bombs for more traditional swords and spears. All the enemies also
have a medieval feel to them and our heroes will often fight knights, dragons, wizards and
giant bats. This time around, the player can also switch from any of the four characters and
each one of them have his own weapon : Gundam uses a sword, Ultraman a morning-star,
Kamen Rider a spear and Fighter Roa a bow . A two simultaneous player
mode is also available.

Great Battle 3 is a fun and simple beat'm up. The overall graphic design
of the game is excellent and the 'Super Deformed' style (common to this series)
is right on target. The medieval theme adds a scense of novelty to the franchise -
you often wonder what kind of goofy creature will show up around the next corner.
Stages are suprisingly well structured and go beyond the usual 'clean everything up
and go ahead' - you'll find collapsing ledges or dark and maze-like mines.
Great Battle 3 is a decent game but it will only appeal to fans of the popular
Japanese pop culture series. Harcode beat'em up Fans won't find here a game to quench
their thirst... but, between you and me, I had some fun playing this game,
so why not give it a shot ?
