(More customer reviews)so im cruising amazon and i notice that only one other person has reviewed this game and honestly, i think it deserves more attention.
if you have played any of the other shining force titles you can expect the same sort of gameplay here that the previous titles offered with one big difference.there is no exploration.basically you are lead through the story from battlefield to battlefield and the freedom to run around and explore has been removed.while i was disappointed by this i dont feel that it takes too much away from the quality of the game.in fact, that was the only thing about the game i didnt really care for.
now, here are some good reasons to like this game.firstly, this game is a true sequel to the first shining force game and i love rpg sequels when done well.also, this game retains the tried and true battle system that brought shining force to the top of the srpg genre.i would say that the battles are very simillar to shining force 2 and that is very much a good thing.
another point id like to touch on was the fact that this game has 2 main story lines with 2 different heroes.each story is respectable in length and after completing each one you are able to unlock a 3rd "book".the 3rd book isnt very long but i thought it was even more fun that the previous 2 books mostly because you were able to access characters from books 1 and 2 to form your team, heroes included!
after completing the 3rd book you might think the game is over.youd be wrong.there is a secret item called the museum ticket obtainable in the game that unlocks a hidden battle, "the museum".here, you fight every boss you ever faced in the game in every chapter, all in one battle.unfortunately, you dont get to pick your team for this fight as the game forces you to take along certain companions.if you never used some of those characters in the previous books of the game you will find them behind your other teammates in xp level.even with those limitations i loved the museum and felt it was a nice way to end a great game.
shining force cd is a great title to pick up and play since it provides the great shining force gameplay with multiple storylines.while u may be disappointed that it lacks the chance to explore like you could in the other titles this is still an excellent srpg.
