    Once again, Shining Force has become one of the worst games in the genre that is the RPG. And once again, Sega has proven to me that it is the worst videogame company. If you have already picked this up and want to get rid of its horrible taste, I suggest much better action RPGs like the Dark Cloud and Kingdom Hearts series.

    It's great fun, a fantastic example of substance and style, and provides depth at nearly every turn. What better way to combat the armies of darkness?

    In the end, Neo contains all of the Shining that gamers are looking for, but none of the Force.

    It's a long game whose simplistic but satisfying combat can be quite addictive, but mostly for meticulous players who don't get frustrated easily.
