The only downside is that it’s at times difficult to gauge the distance between you and your enemy, but it’s a only a minor draw back and a problem easily solved. No more cliché bigheaded warriors moving about on a flat world map, you’re finally playing on a digital chessboard. The scrolling and the battles all take place in 3-D. Although a lot of changes in this game aren’t available until later on, the first one registers the moment you have control. While the story is the real moneymaker here, the new additions demand your attention as well. The depth behind this game develops from there and you’re soon to learn that a missing Emperor is the least of your worries. With no choice and no reasoning with Saraband officials your only chance of survival is to run, in hopes you can solve this crime with enough space between you and your pursuers. While all this has been going on the emperor has managed to get kidnapped by… the king of the republic? That’s right, the very man that was in your presence when this supposed crime happened.

Mysterious masked monks have been spotted around town and as they are reported to be harmless, your companions seem to think differently. After that, the intrigue sets in-actually, it slams you in the face and doesn’t let up until the credits roll. It explains the outlook of events thoroughly and provides a decent back-story. The game itself starts slow with a lot of dialogue to take in, but it’s quick and bounces back and forth between several people. The opening scene is mystifying-coma inducing graphics matched beautifully to an eloquent score. The moment the game starts, your eyes are locked in a vice grip as you hypnotically move closer to the screen. Although Shining Force 3 is lacking one very crucial element it isn’t enough to dissuade this as the best one to date. I still have some of the games even though I don’t have the systems for them. It kept me loyal to the company long after I heard it was on its way out and forced me to buy every sequel made. ![]() Shining Force has always been the pinnacle of Sega’s role playing games.
