Shining Force Legacy of Great Intention is, in my opinion, the best Sega Genesis game. (personally my all time favorite) I'm sure others think different, but this is truly an amazing game.

In this review I will give you reasons why I think this is the best game in my opinion.

I've played this game over 20 times.

wonderful characters all with a personality, they're not like other games where there just soldiers, you don't know their names, or anything. This game, the characters are all special, it makes you want to find them all. Their designs are beyond creative, elves, centaurs, birdmen, werewolves, dragons, dwarfs, hamster...XD

Graphics are incredible for it's time, most people wouldn't like it cause of the graphics. Well the graphics are wonderful, most people won't see it, but allot of the older gamers will. I'm a bit of a pixel artist and I can say that the effort put into the graphics is incredible and very detailed. The battle scenes are like a widescreen movie. Personally I love the style and everything about the graphics, it all gives off a great atmosphere.

Battle System is amazing, I'm sure some people wouldn't like it but to me and allot of people this game's battle system is incredible There's not a whole lot I can say here but it's just depends on your opinion more.

Story is a classic in my opinion, Light VS. Darkness. Heroes of light vs. the dark dragon, normally this idea might not appeal to you at first you might get that impression, "oh this is just going to be another good vs. evil thing? But it's the way they do it, the way they did it makes it a classic. They mixed it up in allot of ways too. *spoilers!* Max and Kane soldiers from the past, kane turning evil and Max having to fight him, then the tragic death scene. Seeing the end was truly wonderful Stabbing the dragon with the blade not being able to move then he finally talkes. Right at the end to build it up so much. The ending scene way at the end is truly one of the best endings I've ever seen. All in all I guess again it depends more on your opinion, but in my opinion this is the best of the light VS. Darkness plots.

Music is incredible I love the soundtrack it builds up the atmosphere so much and makes it incredible. The sound effects in this game, if you have noticed, are extremely effective then most games we have now, you can just feel the power when they hit, and when you hear that sound showing it's going to be a critical you kinda brace yourself it's so cool.

I think I've covered everything, and I hope you can understand why I think this is the best game of the Sega Genesis. Also this might just be a personal opinion but the future remake is no where near as good as this one, if you're going to play this game play Legacy of Great Intention, not Rise of the Dark Dragon. I'm not saying it's bad but it's just not as good.

I hope you liked this review.
