This time our awkward hero is pitted against forces far beyond his reckoning. A definite high point in the series, the story is strong and the ending will leave you wanting to play the sequel. A must for fans of the series.
We'd love to hear what you think about the game!

An excellent entry in the Ben Jordan games. You might say this is when the series comes of age. It's also the first time when Ben Jordan finally starts his globe trotting exploits and sets the stage for a much grand story (something that's waiting to be concluded in the 8th and final chapter). Also, 3 marks the first appearances of two characters who have made a significant impact on Ben. With a much more better developed atmosphere than the first two entires; wonderfully thought out puzzles; two endings; a dark macabre but thoroughly engrossing story marks the third entry in this great series as, perhaps, its watermark.
It is almost 5 years now since the release of the first game in the series. With 7 games out and the 8th and final set to come out soon, the series has changed quite a lot. One thing has stayed the same for me. Ben Jordan 3 is still my favorite of the series and my third favorite game on this site. This stunningly beautiful plot, script, and story blows me away everytime. What a step up from the first two, mediocre (in comparison) games. This I believe set the tone for the series and established it's popularity. It will always remain a classic on Big Blue Cups and will always have a place on my virtual shelf of games.
Pretty good, actually. Good characters, nice story, and multiple endings. All in all, the series just keeps getting better and better.
Really liked the game. Way better than 1 +2 . Nice effects added like rain. Music is much better and very varied. This version is a little less humorous but I like the more serious tone. It has multiple endings as well. great game
With a lot to offer, this is probably one of the most interesting BJ cases.
Pros: Great characters, good plot, multiple paths, gameplay allows for a greater challenge.
Cons: Hmmm....honestly I can't think of any.
