April 16, 2007 - For what it is - a colorful, action-packed dungeon hack - it's as much of a credit to the Shining Force name as any 15-year-old strategy game.

March 22, 2007 - Shining Force EXA is decent in bursts: the Geo-Fortress system is engaging, the varied locations and monsters that you'll fight against are varied, and the game is quite long, which should provide a lot of exploration for action RPG fans.

March 21, 2007 - Still, while EXA's flaws are myriad, the game's not that bad for what it is: fast-paced, mindless slaughter. It's perfect for players who love kill-everything-that-moves games like Dynasty Warriors and movies like 300.

March 21, 2007 - Ultimately, EXA's failings stem from well-intentioned but poorly executed attempts at mixing things up.

March 30, 2007 - The shallow combat, coupled with the crippled frame rate, makes Shining Force Exa a tiresome and downright frustrating experience.

April 20, 2007 - Shining Force EXA isn't extraordinary. Quite the opposite: it's extra ordinary.

March 20, 2007 - Shining Force EXA will pass the time; it's just that your memory of it will, ironically, be worn dull six months from now.
