5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best SRPGs ever, July 6, 2009

This review is from: Shining Force III (Video Game)

I picked up a copy of this game back in 2004 and to this day it still reigns as one of my favorite RPG's ever. And to show you that my taste in games is solid, it ranks right up there with Panzer Dragoon Saga, Phantasy Star, Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne, and Final Fantasy III (US Version). This game was way beond it's time conceptually. Unfortunately the graphics haven't held up so well, but the fun is still all there. If you love what the Shining series used to be (before it got ruined on the Playstation platforms) then by all means, pick up a copy of this gem. It's worth every penny.

With the exception of Final Fantasy Tactics, Shining Force III is the best fifth-generation SRPG and to this day stands in the ranks of games like FFT and Valkyria Chronicles. Its graphical presentation was as good as any PS1 game, it has wonderful sound and a tense, fast-paced battle engine. This is an essential title for any Sega Saturn collector.

Shining Force 3 is a good game. Back when it was released, it was a great game. It is not, however, worth the ridiculous prices that you're likely to find it for. It's a shame that it hasn't been re-released yet, but that's definitely the thing to wait for, because you will likely not be satisfied with your purchased of the overpriced Saturn original.
