Shadow Hearts just plain Rules!!! : Shadow Hearts
Shadow Hearts is the story of Yuri Hyuga, a young man with the mysterious ability to fuse with the spirits of monsters he defeats. He has been commanded by a mysterious voice to protect the life of Alice Elliot, who saw her father torn apart in Rouen, France and is now fleeing for her life across mainland China. The world hangs in the balance as the great magicians of Earth vie for their powers. Spies and magicians, young boys and vampires will fight at their side as this unexpectedly complicated story unfolds for the player. Set early in the Japanese invasion of China, just before World War I, the scene shifts from the mainland countryside to Shanghai, Prague, Rouen, and England.
My preliminary reaction to the game was unenthusiastic. While not disappointing, Shadow Hearts animation falls a bit short of what is currently state of the art for Rpg's on the Ps2. It is a bit of a shock to switch from Xenosaga or Darkness Hearts to a more typical proper for mainstream Rpg's. In addition, the story and characters get off to a slow start, without the benefit if voiceover and cut-scene continuity. The fighting system, which uses an object called a Judgment Ring to settle the success of a strike, takes a while to grow familiar. But if the player stays with the game and waits out the preliminary reaction gameplay becomes increasingly pleasurable.
Although gameplay is linear, the story itself is interesting, with settings as discrete as vampire castles and space ships. Each player has an array of extra powers, from Feng Shui magic to bomb dropping planes as well as bodily attacks. Puzzles and mazes abound, which keeps leveling up intriguing for most of the game. And gradually, animation and the use of cut scenes and voice picks up, so that the flow of the operation becomes more and more engaging.
One of the reasons I like this game is its appeal to both sides of the player. The combat half of the game is fairly simple once you expert what you can use and conquer the dreaded Judgment Ring. The addition of a set of puzzles to be worked out is a great plus. While these aren't up to Ffx's level, they can keep your attention. Finally, this isn't the kind of game that tries to destroy the ego of the play. All the problems are surmountable with the application of persistence. I have hear rumors of a inherent sequel, and am looking forward to it.
