Pretty Good!...

Shining Force Neo is a shining game indeed. I am new to this series, this being the first Shining Force game I have ever played, but I am already waiting for more.
The gameplay of this is a very well developed "hack and slash" RPG. The weapon and magic system is very well done. The Force Art System is a bit confusing at first, but you get used to it after awhile. Having allies with you during battle is a very interesting touch, but works fine.
The graphics of this game are really good. Colors are never messed up, and everything runs smoothly on the screen. Sound in this game is...ok. The fighting and combat sounds are fine, but voices and talking drives me crazy. There is way too much dialogue in here and the voices sound almost robotic.
But if you overlook some of the voice problems, you will see an astounding game created by Sega. Bottom line is; BUY THIS GAME!
