That doesn't explain the user scores. :p
Look, Shadow of the Beast isn't exactly my favorite game or anything, but I think it's alright. My main beef with it is actually that the shooter level is too difficult. And the North American Genesis version has timing issues. And it has a god damn "Congratulations!" screen for an ending.
One thing I really like about it is how each version has a slightly different feel to it. I greatly enjoy the Master System version, oddly enough.
