Video Game Reviews of Shadow Hearts
Customer Review: FUN
Summary: 4 Stars
This game was nothing but fun. I have played a few Final Fantasy games, and although similar, Shadow Hearts holds it's own. I had never heard about the game when I first played it, I was looking at games at a Used-Game store and picked it up, not expecting a whole lot, but it blew my mind. The judgement ring can be annoying at times, but after playing for a while, you get used to it. So pick it up, and get ready for one hell of a ride!Customer Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
*Grins* This game is incredibly awesome. I would place this game up there along with FF games. The graphics are as good andthe storyline are just as great. The only different about this game is the fact that the main character is a horny fella, named Yuri. Yes, you heard me. Horny! LOL! There are ocassional testerone drive dialogues in this game so I don't really recommend kids to play this game. Girls are the weaker characters in the games, and yes in some levels you have to play her.The story goes mostly like, girl in trouble, guy save girl, guy turn demony evil, guy turn back good, and so on. Yuri, the main character has these weird flashbacks that gives him bad migraines.
The only problem I have with this game is the bad, is the clock dial thing. You have to click in the right moment with your controller to get a good power attack. It's tough at first but it gets easier each time.
Customer Review: Great game
Summary: 5 Stars
Shadow Hearts is an interesting game. Rather than taking place in a fantasy setting, like most RPGs, it takes place in a more supernatural version of our own world.
Virtually everything about this game is great. The hero, Yuri, is one my favorite videogame protagonists- interesting, well fleshed-out, and engaging. A lot of the dialogue is hilarious. The plot is interesting and VERY unpredictable, and some of the scnearios create a genuine sense of fear and unease.
The battles are a lot of fun, with the use of the "Judgement Ring" ring system, so that the fights are a test of reflexes as well as strategy.
The only fly in the ointment is the graphics. They're not as bad as some reviews here suggest, by any means, but they are somewhat lackluster. But don't let that stop you from trying this great game.
Customer Review: You never know whats gonna happen next :)
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is pretty awesome. It has its pros and cons like any other game. The graphics, I admit, could be a lot better, but the story line is really interesting. There is A LOT of reading, and the fighting isnt all that tough (ofcourse I'm using codes). But I still think its worth it. It took me a little while to get into it, but it's addicting. And they're coming out with a sequel too. Hopefully they'll have voice overs though. If your into Final Fantasy and other games like that, I'd buy it. Otherwise I'd borrow it or rent it from somewhere.Customer Review: Interesting Story, Sadly lacking Graphics
Summary: 4 Stars
Playing Shadow Hearts was a unique gaming experience. The storyline was a very new, refreshing Resident Evil Meets Final Fantasy. Some of the monsters, however, were a bit strange, and some extremities looked like very disturbing organs. While the Story was very interesting, I had to keep myself from cringing at the graphics. In no way do they compare to Final Fantasy, so don't fool yourself if you buy this. I do reccomend it to those who are waiting for their next RPG, however, as it is a nice game to play in between.
I do not, however, recommend that young children play this game, as the plot is very racy and some of the language is, well, unclean. Also, as I've said before, some of the monsters hit with rather *cough* unique body organs.
