After playing Awakening, I one day suddenly recalled that I had once owned Shadow Dragon and sold it. At the time I couldn't remember a thing about it, and worried that maybe I had sold the game before actually putting any time in.
So more recently I purchased the game again and played it for a while. It took me about ten chapters to confirm that I had indeed played it before, but that the entire game was so lackluster that I'd forgotten most everything that had happened. Characters were boring, the art was a step backwards from the GBA entries, the difficulty was laughable (granted, I'm a series vet) and I had absolutely no investment in the story. I would recommend any other game in the series (that has come west) before I'd tell anyone to pick this game up.
