Reception

Greg Miller of IGN ranked DJ Max Portable 3 a 7 out of 10 stating: "I never found myself drawn to come back to DJ Max Portable 3; the stuff it bumbles makes the gameplay seem less cool. The long loads, the super-familiar setup and the awkward nature of the options and menus just didn't work for me this time around."
