I kinda want to play Virtual Hydlide, but it's gone up a lot lately.

I'd also love to play Virtual Hydlide but people seem to never take the game seriously so it put me off ever buying it.
I'm actally surprised there are no votes for Shining Wisdom being a Shining series
Out of the 3, Mystaria looks the most solid but long winded at the same time. This would be a pure guess as I'm yet to play any of them.

My money is on Virtual Hydlide taking this one. Many fans of that game here at SSUK (I have not played any of the three so I cannot vote)

Many fans of Virtual Hydlide? lol... you mean one fan.
Virtual Hydlide is more than just a game... it's an experience. B-)

I've not played any of these for long so I can't vote.
Mystaria had a pretty good strategi battle system but the story was pretty badly written from memory.
Shining Wisdom looks the most basic but was a pretty solid, if standard, RPG.
Virtual Hylide might look and run dodgy but it may well be videogaming's first 3D open world RPG on a console. Not as bad as the general consensus but not great either. I wish I'd kept the copy I brought for almost nothing a few years ago.

never played Mystaria but Virtual Hydlide is a mess although a charming one at least. I had to go for Shining Wisdom, it may be the worst of the shining series on saturn but is by no means a bad game, I actually dig it quite a bit.

Looking back at this poll now, I'm very surprised to find Virtual Hydlide in the lead. All I ever here are awful things about that game.

Mystaria kept me busy when I moved across the country. I had a new job that just paid my bills until my first raise. Had to make new friends too so I had a lot of free time initially.
It's not the best rpg out there by any means but I like it.
It kept me somewhat sane.
Wisdom I've played a bit and like it. I wasn't surprised it was designed for 16 bit and tweaked to take advantage of the 32 bit system in most areas.
Hydlide I haven't been able to get into so I can't really comment on it. For me the bad reviews were correct.

I've never played the game. I just hear terrible things about it, maybe it's not as bad as people make out. Contra is another game that usually gets ripped to shreds but when I actually played it, I found it to be pretty decent.

You know, if it weren't for the single digit framerate, Virtual Hydlide would be the best looking fame out of these three.
