What Gamespot Users have to say about Shadow Hearts

  • Rating:9.6

    Shadow Hearts is a great RPG with a unique battle system and a weird sense of humor.

    Shadow Hearts takes place in the general Europe area during the early 1900’s. The story focuses on two youths, 24 year old Yuri Hyuga (the main character) and 20-year-old Alice Elliot (the maiden in distress). After watc... Read Full Review

    A different RPG experience.

    If you are a fan of the Persona games, I would recommend this game for you, as it features some of the same gothic weirdness. The game takes place just before WWI and follows our hero Yuri. He's your standard punkish ... Read Full Review

    A great game that is not for everyone.

    I have really enjoyed this game. For the most part this is a pretty standard RPG. In terms of gameplay, Shadow Hearts is set apart by its "Judgement Ring" interface. It's a novel way of incorporating the use... Read Full Review

    this game is retarded. Don't waste your money!!

    Okay, i don't know where all these people come up with these reviews about how good this game is. I have played over 20 PS one and PS two RPG'S to the end, and this is one of the worst. I actually refuse to finish the ... Read Full Review

    Not bad for an early RPG.

    I finally played this RPG in early 2007 and even though there are great rpg's that came first, Shadow Hearts still hits the spot. It's an oldie but a goodie. The game follows around a girl, Alice Elliot, who has a speci... Read Full Review

    One of the best (and hardest to find) PS2 RPG's.

    This game is really old, one of the first PS2 RPG games in fact. If you are lucky enough to find this game on the Used shelf at a store, I would highly recommend getting it, because you probably wont see it again, unless... Read Full Review

    It's one of my favourite PS2 RPGs, nay, games overall.

    Shadow hearts is a spin off of an older PSX RPG, Koudelka. Being one of the first PS2 RPGs to be released, this game is surprisingly good in just about all aspects. I’d personally prefer this over Final Fantasy X any day... Read Full Review

    This game is so majorly cool!

    First of all, the battle system rocks! The thrill of being able to pull of a perfect shot within a split second is SO exhilarating. Plus, the graphics are quite good. The story is also full of twists and has an abundance... Read Full Review

    The voice in my head told me this was a great game! It was right!

    I would imagine that developing RPGs is somewhat of a tense process for game developers. With their (usually) epic lengths and the associated high develpment costs, there is not much room for error if the developer hope... Read Full Review
