This game is in a double-CD case because it has two instruction manuals, but only one disc. If that doesn't serve as a clue to its complexity, I don't know what will.
You have tons and tons of sprites for monsters, characters, objects, and environmental set pieces. These range in style from sci-fi to olden fantasy, and can be used for nearly any purpose; their collision data is built in, though, so be careful the player can't walk over a desk.
It's even possible to create your own sprites with the Anime Maker tool, although it's not even worth bothering if you don't have a mouse; there's no support for analog sticks, and the D-pad is not fun to draw with. With the amount of text you have to enter in with the on-screen keyboard, however, it's a shame the game doesn't work with any kind of keyboard.
Overall, if you can find this game, it's worth your money. One precaution: the game does not autosave ANYTHING, so you have to b careful not to overwrite any system or scenario data. Also, it's a shame there's no way to distribute your games aside from copying the data onto multiple memory cards and buying multiple copies of the game.
Score: 8.5

[QUOTE=Skinr]Uh...this may be awkward, but I have a slightly different opinion of RPG Maker 3...

The RPG Maker games have always intriguied me. I assume that they take a long time just to learn how to navigate menus. I just don't have the time for that sort of game. Now if I were stranded on a deserted island (that somehow had electricity) I'd probably pick an RPG Maker if I could only have 3 games. I could probably lose 5 years alone on one of those games.

[/QUOTE]Learning the flow and order of the menus is actually fairly easy (on the PSX), but you're right, it takes time.
That being said, RPG Maker II and 3 let you use a keyboard.
