Head 2 Head has a Myth III review in the form of a dialogue among two gamers: Tristinian and Silver Surfer. Tristinian discusses the story of Myth III and the use of the in-game cutscenes:

Actually, one of the game's strengths is not necessarily the quality of the story (which i personally found pretty average), but the development of the story. There isn't just one A to B sequence in the proceeding of the plot. It really does come across as a story with several turns of events interspersed appropriately between playable sequences. Quite nice. The only set-backs i found with regard to Myth III's storyline was the way it was presented. The 2D medieval sketches were great, but the use of the in-game characters was a bad move. The game's graphics are good, but not good enough to have the camera use the character models as storytelling devices. Facial textures look awkward up-close and a sense of continuity is lost when you move from the handcrafted look of the ancient sketches to the misuse of the 3D models who are never even seen nearly as close in gameplay.

In the end, Silver Surfer gave Myth III 72% and Tristinian gave it 74%.
