 repetitive and lacking August 6, 2008
I love finding lesser known gems (like Haunting Ground) and gave Trapt a try. Being made by Tecmo I was sure it must be a quality product. I was mostly mistaken. The traps you set are pretty standard, and only a few environmental traps show any creativity. There are no fatality sequences at all. No severed body parts or anything. When an enemy is hit by a blade, thrown into spikes, etc., they just groan and bump off of it. When they die they say some cheesy line (in Japanese with subtitles) fall down and a little round pool of blood forms under them, then they disappear. Since the entire premise of the game is using traps to kill enemies, a total lack of versatility in their death animations is inexcusable. Even if there were good fatality sequences the game is so easy it would still be boring. You practically have to try to get killed, since you can run circles around enemies and rarely get hit. Only those with projectile attacks pose any threat. Plus I constantly had to hold down the R2 button so the camera would show my enemy in order to time springing traps. The graphics are decent and there are no bugs, but the whole game screams "unfinished product". This game had potential as a concept, but as is it deserved to fade into obscurity.
 Deception 4 February 16, 2008
Fun for people who played the Tecmo's Deception series. Not as much variety in this one, but the graphics are decent and it's still fun using the traps. The Dark Illusions are pretty nice for the most part.
 Good bloody fun February 10, 2008
If you have a sick sense of humor this is the game for you. Lots of different trap combinatins and the ultamate goal of seeing how many combos you can get leaves a lot to the gamers twisted imagination. Its good fun but is does get pretty repetitive so there is not a whole lot of replay value. there are 3 different endings and some unique room traps. A deffinite game for some good bloody fun.
Decent addition to the Deception series March 29, 2007

Note: This review is from someone who has played Deception 1 and 2, but not 3.
Note 2: I am horrible at putting a "hook" to catch attention at the beginning of reviews. So... hey! Look! An elephant dancing to Run DMC's "Walk this Way!"
Other reviews have gone through the games basic premise, so I'll skip all of that and get to my pros and cons.
PRO:
Nice graphics - like japanese chicks? You will certainly not mind this game.
"AHAHAHAHHAHA!11 factor - you will giggle like a madman when you set off that 12-hitter mega-damage death-trap. Good for letting off steam.
R2 lockon camera - now flows easily. No more standing still, you can lock onto the closest enemy while running
Nice costumes - Reina and Millenias costumes are (eventually) unlockable.
Story is decent for a Deception game - not much to say here
CONS: (The same for every Deception game, which I don't mind, but cest la vie)
Lag- Lag, lag, lag. Lag near water, lag with fire. It detracts a little from the game. There is also a slight delay on traps activation. In 2 there was graphical lag but the traps responded well. Takes some timing to get used to.
Replay value - Low. Go through the game a few times and you'll see everything. You'll HAVE to go through to farm the ark / warl needed for the costumes anyway
Some traps are overpowered - Sure, you get deathhammer as a reward for finishing the game, but it trivializes it and replay value is already low
MEH:
This category falls into both pro and cons - The Dark Delusions.
They are fun to figure out how to activate, and DEVASTATING in action, but you cannot skip the scenes and after the 4th/5th time seeing them, you just want to continue the game (to farm that warl for the costumes of course!)
All in all, I am pleased with the way the game turned out. Voice acting
was all in japanese with subtitles (a nice touch, to me). Farming was more work than play, and getting the costumes is a huge chore because you will have done the game MANY MANY times over to get the requisite money/ark, and then you get to do it more, but with a different costume?
unpolished and under-advertised, but if you are a fan of the Deception series I suggest you pick this one up. I would buy it again, certainly.
Fun... but disappointing January 26, 2007

If you have the earlier games in the series, just play them. Same game, same graphics, same lag, slow loading, absurd story...
BUT, it is a unique game. And while I think the designers could have given us so much more, it is fun. More worthy of the gaming dollar than another Ghost Recon or GTA clone.
