That game looks good. I should see about getting it sometime...

oh yeah I love this serie :)

shining force... these games are classics. i still have the sega cd one... what a great game

Too bad it's just a hack and slash game and has absolutely NONE of the same gameplay as the 16-bit originals or Shining Force 3 senarios 1-3. I have no idea how this ties in with any of the Shining Force series. I played the last ps2 one and it ok, but it definitly didn't seem like a Shining Force game. They need to just do a new 2d one on the handhelds. Guess I'm just a grumpy old man gamer living in the past. :p

I have to agree, I LOVE the old 2-d shining force games. I still have shining force, shining force 2 and shining force cd for sega genesis/cd. I've played shining force on the game boy advance, and I have to say, I'm not real sure if I like it or not.
