It's the best of the trilogy.

Each enemy encounter is a like a small challenge that you have to overcome, with a lot of variety.

This makes the game exciting and compelling all the way through.

Compare this to X1 or 2, in which you can just run through carelessly unleashing charge shots on your way unchallenged... there is less fun in that. X3 has much better enemy design and level design.

Yes it's flawed. The way the power ups are scattered. Quite a few bosses can be beaten using the same tactic. Zero. But it's still the best because the chore elements, the ones you deal with 95% of the time, are better designed.
