Sumo wrestling, like most sports, is an acquired taste. Western audiences for the most part fail to grasp the rich tradition behind this Japanese sport and instead focus on appearances - two really fat guys standing on a square wooden platform and trying like crazy to shove each other out of a ring inscribed within the edges of the platform. Once you understand sumo and its rituals, though, it can be just as entertaining as its American so-called "professional" counterpart.

Seems to be quite faithful to the sport except for some obvious Street Fighter 2 inspired touches. Great graphics, great sound, and good gameplay, makes a refreshing change from the usual beat 'em up.

The greatest object of the game is to stop Dark Lord and Julius in their evil intentions, and to restore peace to the world. But in order to do so, you must go through numerous obstacles. The dungeons and fields outside towns and villages are full of hideous monsters, with traps in unexpected places. You must conquer these obstacles one by one, and carry out your mission step by step. However, enemies are not the only things you will encounter in this world. You will meet friends who will help you in many ways. Always listen carefully to what the people have to say.

Brought to your Super NES by the makers of the Final Fantasy series, Secret of Mana is a wonderful game that fans of The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past and other action-oriented RPGs will thoroughly enjoy. This epic saga lets up to three gamers (with the help of a multi-tap adaptor) explore a vast, lushly illustrated world filled with monsters and secrets. There's occasional slowdown (when too many characters are onscreen at once), but this is virtually the game's only fault. The battles are enjoyable, there's plenty of upgradeable weaponry (sword, axe, whip, spear, boomerang, gloves, bow, javelin) and magic, the musical score is appropriately grand, and the storyline, which features a number of plot twists, is engrossing.

Unofficially called, Secret of Mana 2, Seiken Densetsu 3 is a part of the Secret of Mana series.

Seiken Densetsu 3, AKA Holy Sword Legend 3, is an action role-playing game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) for Nintendo's Super Famicom as a part of the Mana series.

The game features three lengthy main plotlines, six different characters, each with their own storylines, and a wide range of classes to choose from, which provides each character with an exclusive set of skills and status progression. The game also makes use of a time progression system, with transitions from day to night and weekday to weekday in game time, adding to the game's challenging gameplay.

Seiken Densetsu 3 plays very much like its predecessor Secret of Mana, as it employs a real-time combat system, making use of a ring menu which provides the player with quick access to magic spells, items and character information, amongst other options. One of its main differences, though, is that the range of characters is doubled to six, with the player choosing the three user of his or her party when commencing a new game.

Story:
According to Seiken Densetsu 3's in-game lore, the Mana Goddess created the game's world by forging the powerful Sword of Mana and defeating eight benevodons (God-Beasts in the fan-translation) with it, sealing them within eight Mana Stones, before turning herself into the Mana Tree and falling asleep. The game is set at a time when Mana starts to fade and peace has ended, as some people plot to unleash the benevodons from the stones so as to gain ultimate power, politically and magically. Heroes of Mana is a direct prequel to Seiken Densetsu 3, taking place 19 years before the latter's story.
