This is a classic sega game. This RPG was a real defining game that had a clear mix of RPG meets RTS, w/ some unique and interesting mechanics. To really love this series you should start by playing Shining Force I and then move to Shining Force II. If you are someone that really enjoys character development and the ability to progress your individual members to new class arch-types you will really enjoy this game. Mix that in with turn based battlefield mechanics and you have a solid winner. Many games today try to emulate this ability from the past but lose sight of core mechanics w/ flashy graphics.

Shining Force Two was the sequel to the original acclaimed Shining Force, and on the Genesis it sits basically alone, as one of the few great RPG's for this system. The game is tactical "chess-board" style gameplay, with several battles and an interesting story, and its graphics, while bad by today's standard are clean and crisp, and the game does a good job of keeping the attention of the gamer. There are a few good tunes from the game, and the sound is okay, but not exactly astounding (hard to produce on a Genesis). This game is different from its predecesor, Shining Force, but it is a good sequel, and one that does not require playing the first one to play. It comes highly recommended, is pretty valuable, and is downright fun to play. Aside from a few problems late in the game (where the linear nature of the game opens up a bit), the game works well, and should take an experienced gamer a while to play. If you still own a working Genesis and haven't played this game, or have, but no longer own it, pick up this game. It is easily worth 30-40 dollars, and can hold your attention for as many, if not more hours.Read full review

Classic RPG! Good story, and awesome early fighting strategy game. There are times when it comes down to one move between life and death. Advanced for it's time and still fun!
