For my first review I had better review the one of my favorite games, shining force, I believe thee real title is "legacy of great intentions" I could be wrong though because in the game they don't really title it. This is a really good game. The combat is 2-d overhead, like ff tactics and orgebattle style. Get a party and can pick who you want to take with you. So the combat is pretty gun and each battle it seems like there are new twists. For example in one a big laser cannon shoots at you... But the best part of this game is the storyline and characters. Since there are so many characters there doesn't leave time for development except for a few choice characters. They are funny and quirky. The game leads up to a humongous climax that has your character sacrificing himself for the party. That’s all I will say about the ending so I won't ruin it for you. But in my opinion it’s the best ending in a videogame period. The music is good, nothing to coo over though. And the graphics were good for back then. The game holds many secrets and secret characters that add for replay value. For instance if you don't read a note on the wall in one of the towns one of the best characters in the game doesn’t join you.
Graphics = 7 easy on the eye's and no loading times Music = 8.5 good soundtrack Originality = 9 back then it was pretty original. It was pre final fantasy tactics. Game play = 10 the battle are the heart of this game and they provide great fun. Replay = 8 I've beaten this game at least 5 times and its probably 20 hours long, but it provides great replay because you can develope different characters in your party each time you play it. I would recommend this game its > ff tactic in my humble opinion and if you would like this game I can email you a zip of it and a genny emulator.

Yea this is an icnredible game. I've never put time into beat them because i play multiple RPG's and useually space them out. Rigth now i'm playing that ,DBZ: Legend of the Super Saiyan, Shining Force 2, Gemfire(not rlly a rpg), and Lufia 2. I only spend about 5 hours a week on them alltogether so its ahrd to get them done. |

LOL yes I have the same problem. Right now I'm trying to beat Shining force 2. The gba FINal fantasy 1 and 2, Baulders gate one and two for the pc. They are all pretty long. I just completed a dungeon on Baulders gate that took me like 12 hours to get through... amazing. When I was little Gemfire was my Favorite game. The wizards on there are great. (esesially Pulvius) and the dragon is evil and scary, a very good counterpart to the pastha. I would always get the pastha and vs. the dragon for the last battle. It is really fun 2 player 2.!!!!!!!! I am glad other people like the same old school games I do. I would recommend lamdstalker. |

It's not really in the same genre but Sword of Mana for the GBA is a great game too, you level up weapons and certain classes and depending on if you pick the boy or girl, you start in different places and meet each other later |

Seiken Denetsu= Secret of mana in japanese. Download the roms for SNES and translations, the third one is especially good.
I space things out with MMORPGS right now its PSO,Maplestory, and possibly SW: Galaxies. I space things out with MMORPGS right now its PSO,Maplestory, and possibly SW: Galaxies. |

Both Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 2) and Secret of Mana 2 (Seiken Densetsu 3) are far better than Sword of Mana. |

I think the original shining force^^^ other than shining in the darkness is being remade for the GBA. I would definanltly get it if they add new features. But if they don't then I won't cuz I've already beat it 5 times. |

Ahhhhhh, i knew you liked Shinging Force because you name was Zylo, and Zylo was my strongest character, he was a wolf, I played the version that you get to use the cards, that mawlocks uses at least and I beat it that was, I also beat it the old school say, all of the shinging forces rock! that is why I have been trying to make a battle system like Shining Force on RPG Maker 2000! Sheesh, that's cool.....I KNEW IT! |

An easy strategy game is Tactics Arena, played it before? Well I found it off of Addictinggames.com then finding tactic arena on the bottom right thingie strategie, it's pretty fun, it's an update of chess...yet it's not close to chess, it's like Wizards Chess...yet it's not wizards chess...so, doesn't it make you want to play it? eh? hehe well you should, because I did and I got really good then I forgot my password, I rocked, I ruled...if you know what I mean...it's just fun. |

You are my freind!!!!! COOKie. Thats awsome. Back in the day all I played was shining force, gemfire, and kings bounty. I also played shadowrun, D&D eternal Sun, Landstalker, Darkwizard and stuff. Lets hear it for the oldschool right!!! Zylo was definantly one of the coolest and strongest characters in the game. This was actaully the first thing I used the ZYLO name on. I think the Samuri character was the coolest though.
On the FOrce games I always wanted to get characters that sucked to be good. I would try to nurture them or take special care of them. Like that knight that could use magic, Aurther. Here is what I think for the most powerful characters Max = The Hero The samuri guy is really powerful Zylo the wolf The Ninja Pe El Luke and Gort were cool The bird guy is actually good DomINGO!!! AND MONK TOTALLY SUCKED ASS I hope everyone got the secret characters. At the end of the game you find a healer and a mage and they're pretty harcore. I think this review is worth 750 what is this 250 crap? On the FOrce games I always wanted to get characters that sucked to be good. I would try to nurture them or take special care of them.
