What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"Shadow Hearts is just not very exciting. The combat can't find a comfortable medium between action and strategy. Graphically, it's somewhere between PSOne and PS2. As a story, Shadow Hearts would have made a great anime series, but instead, it comes out as only an average game."
"There are as many questions as there are answers about Shadow Hearts at this point. Obviously, the game does not want to be compared to Final Fantasy, nor does it strive to be any run-of-the-mill role-playing game."
"Despite its considerable depth, Shadow Hearts is easy to get into and yet maintains a satisfying level of challenge."
"...several unique systems that add an interesting twist... While these unique game systems will keep you glued to the game for the first few hours, you might feel less challenged toward the end of the game... Shadow Hearts definitely brings new ideas into the role-playing genre, but in spite of that, it is a very average game."
"If you're looking for fresh storyline and cast of characters, and don't mind a wimpy battle system or middling graphics, you'll find quite a bit to like with Shadow Hearts."
