Shining Soul for GBA

I've been interested in Shining Soul for GBA since GBA was announced. Seemed like a good Secret of Mana type action RPG (plus it has the ability to link up for 2 players). I heard someone somewhere say that part 1 was pretty lame and part 2 was coming out. Is Shining Soul that bad? I just saw that Sega released it in Europe and was considering trying to find an import if it was worth playing, or I could just try to download a rom now that I think about it.

Any links to reviews of the game or previews of the sequel? :bang:

There was just a thread by the same title that even had the same subtitle IIRC. Please use the board's searchh feature.

To answer your question: No, it isn't any good.

And yet I'm still probably going to buy the sequel. It sucks, and yet I'm such a sucker for action RPGs I'm going to hold out hope that the second one is decent. -sigh-
