Shadowsibling's Shadow Hearts Tv Review
Rated:
Shadow Hearts 2 was the only game in three years that had me playing ten hours a day. Its presentation isn't perfect, but to me it was. The variety of scenes in the game made me laugh and some made me stiffle a tear. I found this game to be so great that I went out and purchased it after I beat it, just so I'd have a fantastic game to look back on. Some of the humor in the game was very clever and funny, where as some was plain, but still humorus. The personality of the characters fit so well that the game could have easily become a best selling movie. The gameplay was smooth and responsive, and with the innovative "judgement ring" used in combat, players couldn't become tuned out, because the characters performance in battle relied on split second timing and precision.

Caya's Shadow Hearts Tv Review
Rated:
The originality of the game has already been partly discussed in the quick story review. Players who beat the first game
and battled long and hard to achieve the good ending might well be annoyed that SH:C is based upon the bad ending of the
first, and thus reliant on Alice's death. Yet the true originality of the game is found in the connections between
the various characters, their reappearances in each others' fates and histories. (More detailed descriptions have
to be left out in order not to spoil).
The overall difficulty of the game is average, and random fights do not occur as often as the player should expect
(which sometimes does make leveling a bit of an annoyance). The battle system, namely handling the judgement ring, is
rather interesting and easy to learn.
