How is Shinning Force for the Playstation 2

Yes sometimes I am slow on learning on what games come out on the
consoles. I am mostly retro gaming at the moment. I used to be right
on top of this stuff.

I was going though SEGA website and noticed there where two
Shinning Force titles for the PS 2. Has any one played them and are
they any good.

There are actually... four Shining games for the PS2, I think? They're
all action-RPGs and don't have the tactical grid combat you're used to
from Shining Force. Think of Diablo more than Ultima and you'll have a
pretty good handle on what kinds of games these are.

Shining Force Neo and Shining Force EXA are the most like Diablo, with the
isometric viewpoint and combo-based attacks. Shining Tears is more of a 2D
game like Shining Wisdom on the Saturn, and is in fact a de facto sequel
to the Shining Soul games on the Gameboy Advance. There's also Shining
Wind, which is a sequel to Shining Tears but isn't yet available in the
west.

I like both of the Shining Force games on the PS2, but then again I knew
what I was getting into. You should definitely try before you buy, if you
can.

been written in a Usenet post.

Disregard this rule if the meat in the nuggets is not actually chicken.
