this is my 3rd review so here it goes as you all know everyone should know about the shining force series from 1-cd all out of all the shining forces in my personal opinion its the best out of them so i hope u like my review so lets get started

Graphics
________________________
the graphics for this era r to b expected  for this time frame but it dont have the realism like most ppl r used to but if u like the old school games the graphics here r right up ur alley stil has the cartoon style base characters styles of the characters each have there own signature moves

Sound
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
the sound from the first 2 shining force series has really been amped the the hits sound like ur actualy hitting someone rather then getting the normal sound from the 1st shining force which is so much better than the others and it has alot more music to choose from if u like the music this has some pretty good music and also pretty annoying music on here but all n all if i was to rate this music i would give it a 7.8 cuz they could of done better with picking the sound track for it

Addictiveness
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
this game is really addictive if ur a true shining force fan this has it all the battles get so intence on here that sometimes it will irratate you there is one battle on here that is very additictive but for those who haven't played it i will not spoil it but for those who have u know what im talking about that battle is so intence that it will make u throw ur controller or make u get off the game for a while there sooo much strategy on here that its crazy u need the right strategy or u will fail in this game good planing  leveling and strategy will win u the game

Story
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
the story line in here is really good althought im quite dissapointed that they didnt have the characters from the darkside that should of been on here but the story line is pretty good a bunch of twists n turns in this story and if u dont pay close attention u will miss alot of plots on what is goin on but if i had to rate the storyline i would give it a 8.5

Depth
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
this game in depth offers a bunch of diffrent ways to play if ur the type that likes to fight straight up then ull want warriors n archers n if u r the type that likes magic then the wizards r just for u there classes do differ but one thing that doesnt make sence that in one of the chapters u get a promotion item after u r already promoted which doesnt make any sence at all but this game offers soo much u have a bunch of characters to choose from u have alot of enemies to fight if ur a big level gainer then leveling up on here will b easy till certain levels  but if i had to rate the deph on this i would rate this a  8.9

Difficulty
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
well the difficulty differes on here u could put it on the easiest difficulty and still have a hard time with some fights even at chapter 4 the enemies get really hard and the bosses r crazy the final boss in the second book is a pain cause he has demon breath and the only person that can hit him is nick and after that the rest can hit him but the first hit is vital and Nick is vital to that first hit if he dont hit the battle will b extremely hard and the 3rd book is even harder all your characters levels r all spread out and it is very difficult to catch them up but once you do it will be easy to take the bad guys down if i had to rate the difficulty on this game i would give this game a rating of 9.4
