"But without an epic story, involving quests, or any twists on the same-old turn-based battles, it just feels hollow."
--Kevin VanOrd, GameSpot

"Though it has its moments, most of which happen in the first part of the game, Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm feels like C work from an A student."
--Ricky Tucker, Game Vortex

"Grand Phantasm delivers exactly what Atelier Iris series fans are looking for."
--James Fudge, GameShark

"We really wanted to like Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm, but the series is stagnating in gameplay that was obtusely old-fashioned ten years ago."
--Patrick Joynt, GameSpy

"The game is entirely quest-based -- which is cool, provided that the rest of the game is properly designed around it, but Iris 3 desperately wants to be something more linear."
--Ray Barnholt, 1UP

"The quest layout can be a little daunting, but the lightning-quick, get-in-and-get-out battle style prevents the game from dragging."
--Louis Bedigian, GameZone
