What's Up: Oh sure, Sega chose to release Shining Force III incomplete in the U.S., but let's face it, it's not the easiest game to come by. This is one of the best strategy based games ever released on any game system past to present. Heck, the other two adventures were just as interesting and collectible as this third installment, but it's this game where people took notice. Packed with great character, a super story, and great writing, Sega made one of the all time best games. Pick it up the moment you see it.

How Cool Are You: To anybody collecting rare Saturn titles, you can't go wrong with Shining Force III. Oh sure, it's no Panzer Dragoon Saga. And it's incomplete, but let's face it, few games are as much fun as Shining Force III, and you'll have all your friends begging to borrow it. It's a shame the cover isn't very good. No matter, this is well worth the $60 you're likely to spend obtaining this gem.
