The card-based combat system is still fun and requires some good strategy to build a powerful deck, but the 3-D nature of the battle screen limits Mega Man's movement, which makes the fights less exciting. [Aug 2009, p.90]

Coming back to the franchise after several years away has been frustrating for me, because it reminds me how good these Mega Man RPGs could be... and also how little Capcom has actually done to realize the concept's potential. There's the foundation here for something great, but the games continue to plod along in unambitious mediocrity.

The gameplay is its own reward and once one gets into it, one finds it quite hard to get back out. It's a shame that the plot holds it back, but otherwise Megaman Starforce 3 is pretty bloody good, and well worth your time if you like your roleplayers with a little more action in them.

This game is at a point where Geo Stelar's character development as a superhero ends and honestly? it went out with a bang. The music in this game was top notch, gameplay was refined and the best it can be, story was amazing to go through, and the final boss put up a wonderful presentation. Screw the critics of yesteryears that criticized this game. Star Force 3 was fantastic when I played it. And as a true gamer, I think my opinion should be more valid than any professional game critic imo.

Red Joker is better than Dragon but this game is flawed and repetitive at a lot of points but this RPG is still great and memorable. This game is fine.

Nonetheless, Mega Man Star Force 3 is going to be popular among its fan base, and the upgrades will help them get the most out of the game. Non-fans probably won't find a lot here, though, and by repeatedly exploring the same elements of Geo's life, Capcom seems to be falling into a comfortable rut here.

It’s an accessible, fun, card clasher and young gamers will want to take full advantage of the Wi-fi features.

Mega Man Star Force 3 is another disappointing installment in a tired franchise in need of a reboot.

Frankly, it's time for this series to die. It's been continually plodding along, getting little love from anyone outside the Mega Man hardcore. Capcom refuses to update the formula in any meaningful way, and as such it's clear that they don't really care.
