I've always read that the Working Designs' translation of this game was poor, but no one actually bothered explaining in detail why. This review had a pretty good explanation why! Good review, EmP.

You should follow this up by reviewing both GBA Shining Souls games. Back-to-back. Before the end of this month.

OD's words are those of a crazed madman. That is to say, they are filled with infinite wisdom.

C'mon, EmP. I love you, but typos in the rating box?!

I'll take one typo happily. It still makes me less of a hack than WD.

Less of a hack than who exactly?

Yeah. You reviewed SS1. But not SS2. So I'm at least half right, which is good enough for me!

It's certainly a higher percentage than you're used to.

Fantastic work, man. Even reading this I can tell it was heavily researched. I applaud you immensely for that, especially since I know just how much time goes into research like this (or at least it would for me). Sometimes it's more effort than writing the review or playing the game itself. To add to that, the argument is sound and well-presented and I now have a clearer understanding of the Shining franchise than I ever would short of actually playing all of them.

Thanks. Even if I think BoDVIII turned out better, I'm much prouder of this one.
