What in the world!!!!!

What in the world is this? how could anyone say that this game is a rival to final fanatasy X??? and a game like this getting a four-star rating is just beyond me. I don't mean to be judgemental but this game is 100% of non-sensical GARBAGE. allow me to demonstrate:

1. Story: awfully dull and really not interesting what-so-ever in any aspect. It's full of horrible and predictable moments, the twists and turns of the story are soooo very extremly out of place. you'll find your self reading about a gazillion lines of boring conversations and at one point you'll even forget the main story!!! the one nice aspect in the story (which justifies the 1 star) are the multiple side stories which have some creativity in them but are presented in (again) a ver Boring style.

2.Charecters: badly animated, voiceless (for no reason), really clichéd typical RPG: the main charecter is Yuri: foul-mouthed, edgy, and out-going guy who has only one ability fusion(transformation to some repetitve monsters) who has a so-called mysterious past which you have to unravel (again a very boring past, i shiver for the mere thought of that story). Alice: a fragile, kind-hearted, and annoyingly optimistic girl around whom the story evolves.Zhauzen: a wise, again foul-mouthed priest who leads the way at the beginig of the game but turns out useless after the first of the story is over. Margret: a butch female spy who joins the party for no reason!. Keith: a cool vampire (my favorite) who joins the party just because he's bored( i wonder why is that?). halley: an orphan boy, a street rat, who is though because he was raised by the streets. why does yuri decide to help alice? i don't know, what is margrets goal? i also don't know. this game leaves you devistated, like really devistated.

3. Graphics: the graphics are ok i guess, way better than Grandia. the backgrounds are nicely done. Water looks horrific really nothing more than a loop and this case a very bad one. the charecters have no facial expressions and are so different from the drawings. CG or short movies are ok but the charecters look really ugly in them except for Bacon the bad guy.

4. Music: let's just say that it's i-put-the-tv-volume-on mute-and-turn-on-my-stereo kinda music. annoying and so uncreative.

5. Monsters: they have a bit of creativety but the repetition kills it.

6. overall: while playing the game you'd feel like why did i ever spent money on this peice of !!!!

Finally, just a bit of trivia for you, that the heads of Midways
label used to work for SQUARESOFT but were fired so decided to creat there own stinkn' label and the out-come is a really unattractive game with a very over-blown story. Shadow Hearts

Interesting Story, Sadly lacking Graphics

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.

Incredible game

I rented this game, and thank god! It was still the worst 2 bucks i ever spent. From the very beggining the game was terrible. Poor voice acting, cheesy graphics (not even worthy of playstation 1), the battle system tried to be inovative, but turned out cheesy. I give this game a whole lot of 'Don't buy it!'! Rent it if you are that eager to play it.

Alright, Don't know why it needed a "Mature" rating

An RPG like Final Fantasy (wander, enter battles, manage points & items) except with much lower production values. The storyline and dialogue are uninspired. Also, I was hoping for some adult content b/c of the "Mature" rating but it never crossed, say, the Benny Hill Threshold.

The best game EVER !!

This game is awesome! Our hero in this game, Yuri, can fuse some incredible monster with his body and kill all the enemy with one blow. The battle system here is kinda like FF, but we use a ring called the judgement ring. There are also some sidequest you can do, sometimes, you can obtain the ultimate weapon for your party member or the ultimate fusion monster for Yuri, the Seraphic Radiance (I've got it and i still can't stop being proud of it.) through those sidequest. This game is the very great one that all gamer must own.

final fantasy?

This game would have been perfect if not for one flaw... IT IS WAY TOO EASY. Like I said the makers should have added more difficulty. Otherwise it is a great game.

slow down!

Upon purchasing, Shadow of Hearts I was extremely excited of the prospects of the game. A long time role playing gamer I relished a new opportunity. To my utter dismay I began my lame quest in Shadow of Hearts. Aesthetically well done this game still fell below the standard of eye candy. Pathetically, it still was its best quality. The game seems more like a slow sub-titled movie then anything else. The first half hour (the maximum amount one can tolerate prior to throwing in the litter box) was ladened with horrible dialog provided in written from The actual game play stuck to the theme of being very slow. I would hold off on this one. I will admit that I could not with stand the torture of the first half hour of game play and put the game to rest. Perhaps there is a diamond in this rough with more experimenting. Good Luck!
