Customer Reviews

One of the best SRPGs ever
I picked up a copy of this game back in 2004 and to this day it still reigns as one of my favorite RPG's ever. And to show you that my taste in games is solid, it ranks right up there with Panzer Dragoon Saga, Phantasy Star, Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne, and Final Fantasy III (US Version). This game was way beond it's time conceptually. Unfortunately the graphics haven't held up so well, but the fun is still all there. If you love what the Shining series used to be (before it got ruined on the Playstation platforms) then by all means, pick up a copy of this gem. It's worth every penny.

Very expensive game to purchase now a day, but well worth it
This is one of the games that got overlooked on the Sega Saturn as it came out near the end of the system's run. Luckily I have had my copy since way back when it first came out, but I would say if you got the money it is worth the 70 dollars it is going for online. My personal favorite sega saturn game and my favorite shining force game period.

It's fun, but don't buy in to the hype.
Shining Force 3 is a good game. Back when it was released, it was a great game. It is not, however, worth the ridiculous prices that you're likely to find it for. It's a shame that it hasn't been re-released yet, but that's definitely the thing to wait for, because you will likely not be satisfied with your purchased of the overpriced Saturn original.
