Shining Force EXA (PS2)

Hey guys and girls its time for a review of another Shing game, Shining Force EXA. A game about taking over the world with a a cast of half animals, annoying mages, and a zombie. All while tucked safely inside a giant death fortress.

Story: The bulk of it goes boy finds sword of ancient power, boy uses sword to attempt to change the world, alas everyone else wants the sword so taking over the world will be a bit hard. Its not a bad story but its not an amazing story that keeps you wanting more. 3/5

Gameplay: The gameplay's not bad its actually pretty good AI allies are customizable to a point and tend to do their job for the most part. The main heros are kind of basic. Toma a fighter that's it that's all he does hit things...Cyrille a Mage thats all she does...burn zapp freeze things. She can use crossbows but she's not very good. All in all the gameplay is a bit basica but oddly addicting. 4/5

Graphics: It's a cute game not an amazing awesome game but definately cute and egaging enough to watch. The game does suffer so slow down when you get flooded with enemies pr spam magic and skills. Not the best it could be but still pretty good. The good thing is all wepsons and armors for each character change their respective appearances. 4/5

Audio: There is a hefty amount of voice acting and the music is really good. Probably the best part of the game is the music and voice acting. Most areas are enjoyable to be in thanks to the music. 5/5

Replay: There is a game plus and some nifty things to do in it but Ican't say for sure its worth it. Its really a toss up and mostly about personal preference. 3/5

Overall: The best thing sbout this game is music and the fact that even tho the battling running around its all that good its still addicting enough to play through the game. It really is a middle of the ground game. It has not glaring faults or sparkiling gems its just okay. If you like the shining series pick it up. 3/5
