Good rpg
User Rating: 8.6 | Shadow Hearts II PS2
I dunno if many of you played Shadow hearts the first one, the game has made some serious improvement. The story is very good and if you looking for original characters, you will have in your party quite a bunch of weird fellas, from a vampire wrestler power ranger( * Hint : His name is Joachim Valentine, golden bat that rings a bell?) to a wolf you will have all kind of possibilities to make the party you like. Yuri is the only that comes back from SH1, not far from the beginning of the game he lost his powers due to a magic artifact used by a secret society. Unlike SH 1 tho Yuri had already all his transformations since the beginning you just need to unlock them, ( yeah you dont need to fight them anymore). You need to collect Soul energy and just buy them in brief. The story is set during WW1 which his kinda original compares to other rpg. You can do combos now, they are quite powerful way to deal with strong opponent ( Bosses for example). The voice acting are ok but nothing exceptional. Why do I like it? I just like the kind of sinister story, you know the dark atmosphere, the game is serious but not as much as the SH 1 ( was very gloomy and gore), you will see more jokes and more character interactions. Or maybe it just the fact thats this game doesnt want to be another Final Fantasy clone? I just like it maybe if u never tried shadow hearts you might want to try it before buying it.
