Shining Force 2

Sorry I did not post one yesterday, things got a little hectic on my Saturday. Anyways, I will be posting yesterday's post and today's post.

Shining Force 2: The direct sequel to Shining Force 1, but not technically the next game released in the series. The game is much longer than the first, and more free-roaming. There is no chapter system, so the player can return to previously visited parts of the world. There are also two different ways of promoting many characters. This game was released on the Wii Virtual Console in Europe on October 3, 2008 and in North America on October 6, 2008. The game also appears in Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

The player takes the role of Bowie, the leader of the Shining Force. The first thing the player may notice is that the start of the game has an actual cut scene in order to know the plot and setting. Through the series of cut scenes, basically a greater demon is released which is bent on releasing Zeon, the king of demons. It is your job as Bowie to stop the greater demon.

I spent much less time with this game due to its longevity and difficulty at my younger age. I finally beat it in middle school. I never came back and played it until the release of Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection and I ended up falling in love with the second one as well. I would love to beat this game again in the near future.
