Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's Supermod!
So after a bit of discussion, I've decided to go ahead with this. Here's what's going down; I will be doing my top 10 games of all time, in my opinion starting from 10 to 1 every Saturday.
Obviously I want you guys involved too, so why not join in with your top 10 as well? It would be cool to see how people play it out and what hidden gems are out there, but a few rules;
-You do one game per thread *so no people with 5 #10's*
-One game per franchise *So no Zelda 1 and Zelda 2, however I would allow a Mario bros. game and a Mario Kart game*
-You must have completed the game *That's so we don't have someone who's enjoyed a game so far, but the ending is not worth a top 10 place*
-Give reasons why you put it there.
-I will keep track of game votes in the following spoiler part;
So without further ado...
Format; Sega Mega Drive/Genesis
Genre; Tactical Role Playing Game
Release date; UK October 1994
Plot (according to wiki); Shining Force II opens with a thief, Slade, stealing two jewels in an ancient shrine, thus setting in motion strange events leading to the resurrection of Zeon, the Devil King. When the king of Granseal, protector of the Tower of the Ancients, falls ill, Sir Astral and the game's leader, Bowie, investigate the opened tower with a small force called the Shining Force.
When an evil Gizmo escapes and possesses the king of a neighboring kingdom, Galam, Granseal's princess is kidnapped and the door to Arc Valley (home to Zeon and the greater devils) is opened. Arc Valley and the evil that resides there begins consuming Grans Island, causing Bowie and friends to flee their home.
When the true danger of the opened door is realized, Bowie and friends have to fight against the invading armies of Zeon to find the Holy Sword and the stolen jewels so they may once again reseal the Devil King in Arc Valley.
Why number 10?
Despite being a Nintendo boy through and through, I did love my Sega Mega Drive, and one game I remember playing time and time and time again was Shining Force 2. Whilst I found the first one OK this game was something else. I first played it as a 9 year old kid and to be totally honest, this started me off on my path to
A) Becoming a hardcore gamer
B) To my love of RPG's
The character development was great, storyline was fantastic and it just had that special magic about it.
IGN ranked it #48 game of all time. Lee Ranks it #10
