What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"Shining Tears is an applicable title for this game, because anyone who spends their time and money on it will break down in tears."
"Shining Tears is a decent hack-and-slash fun-fest with many available upgrades, but not that much combat meat to it."
"Although mashing one button over and over can be kind of fun, Shining Tears tries to add variety by offering an assortment of mission objectives. It doesn't work."
"...the term "wasted potential" is undeniably applicable here. Hardcore SEGA freaks and RPG nuts will likely be more forgiving than they have to be, but with the simplistic and repetitive nature of the gameplay and the lack of any challenge whatsoever, it'll be hard for anyone to appreciate it as much as they did the Genesis games."
"This review was written with the basis of the game being played with a single player. Thus, it is quite a different perspective than if the game were to be played with two players. "
