Product Description
The third and latest installment in the analytically acclaimed role-playing game series, SHADOW HEARTS: From the New World takes place in the United States during the Splendid Depression. The Tale Starts as Johnny Garland, a young 16-year ancient detective who lost his member of the clergy, sister and his memory in an accident, accepts an investigation to track down a criminal suspect who has escaped from custody. As he closes in on the suspect, Johnny witnesses a supernatural occurrence – a huge monster appears from a green light known as a “dialogue box” and swallows up the criminal. Apparently, a series of horrific incidents similar to this have been plaguing cities across the nation. Johnny’s female counterpart is 21-year-ancient bounty hunter Shania, a Native American who is searching for these mysterious windows, determined to close them using her spiritual powers. Together, they travel across North and South America and are joined by a colorful cast of characters.

I’m docking off two stars for this game because for all the long speel that is given to us in the begining about,”these are
all fictional characters and bare no resemblance to actual people”,we are teamed up with Al Capone.But that’s not all,he is described to be a excellent guy!lol
For a game that features a giant stupid talking cat,I’m not sure why the need for realisim by adding Al Capone was done. Especially in such an incorrect light.His profile reads”He is well loved with civilians because he leaves them alone.”That’s a load of bull.If you interviewed anyone who lived in Chicago during that era,they would all tell you that they were not pleased under Capone’s rule.Also many innocent civilians were killed by his gangs.So what exactly is this game company trying to pull?
The gameplay was fun,and I delight in this series.But helping Al Capone break out of jail just leaves a terrible taste in my mouth. Game developers,please stick to fiction.But if you ARE going to involve real characters,then described them correctly.

Shadow Hearts: From the New World… Hmm… How to place this…
If you’re some Final Fantasy head who has various wet-dreams involving Cloud and Sephiroth in various positions this game isn’t for you. If you’re a person who has various wet-dreams involving imagination and fascinating plot shape in various positions while game mechanics sits off to the side in a dark corner and does who knows what than this game is for you.

The game lost me at the leather biker couple who hit on your sixteen year ancient hero. Some of the resolution worst sterotyping and poor judgement by a game studio EVER.
Thats ten minutes into the game.
The first release by the former Squarenix USA had utterly failed me in less time than it took to get comfy on the couch. Thats a record, folks. Now, to be honest, I figured; ‘the last Shawdohearts game was excellent, and the combat system is fascinating… Lets give it another shot’. It DOES get better, but ultimately never rises above its inauspicious beginning.
The ‘wheel of fate’ combat system is still fun, and makes the now-grown-up-than-dirt random encounters experience more than dull, but ultimately fails to deliver what I like to call the ‘didnt dissipate forty eight bucks goods’. This game is sort of ‘meh’ from beginning to near the end, where I sort of gave up on the whole mess and took it in for trade.
A seriously abused and overworked storyline and characters that seem like they were added just for the eerie factor dont help.
If you’re gonna spend fifty bucks on a PS2 roleplaying game, check out Dragon Quest 8 or Final Fantasy 12. If you’ve already gotten owing to those, check out Radiata Tales or Magna Carta. Or check out ‘The Shadowhearts Covenant’, the last installment in the Shadowheart series. Its far superior to this trainwreck.

Okay, I heard about this game a while ago and finally it came out. Poor me I had to wait I thought. I loved the previous two shadow hearts. The first is my favorite because it was a slightly more conventional RPG. I like the darker feeling of it. This one but was very small. It had a ridiculas number of side quests for how small it was. The tale was a tad bit choppy at time. Though the battle system has been enhanced a small more. The combo system is nicer now because all the charaters can pull of two moves at once. The charaters on their own can now pull a duble which can get one out jams. Though the enemy cna also pull the same stunts. Though over all it would have been much better if they had taken longer to creat it and place more time into developing a better tale that would develop a small more owing to out. Though it is deffinitly worth a play owing to.

“Freakin sweet, they’re making a new Shadow Hearts!” Yeah, when i heard about it i was pretty pleased, since the previous Shoadow Hearts sports meeting were about my favorite sports meeting ever, status right up there with the Final Fantasy series, in my opinion. So i go and buy the game and immediately say “…who is this loser playing detective?” First depression of the main character was that he thought he was splendid, but only because he was some 16 year ancient punk that didn’t know any better yet. 33 seconds into the game and already miss Yuri. By and large game play isn’t too terrible, tho it’s not as fun as Covenant was. I like how they do revisit some of the previous characters (Roger Bacon, Lenny from Sapientes Gladio, and even though i don’t care for him Gerard Magimel), but reflect they could have done better with the playable characters. Frank the “ninja” is really reminiscent of Joachim from Covenant, only even weirder (which i didn’t reflect was possible as i faced “Grand Papillion in battle). Hilda is decent, but the calorie system is a tad irritating, but made necessary by the fact that she has different abilities for each weight/form. I like her being there, once again as a reference to the previous game(the pink bat you fight to get Joachim’s second strongest weapon, like Joachim is the gold bat you fight in the first shadow hearts to get Keith’s final weapon) The cat is a bit much, as if the wolf in Covenant wasn’t terrible enough, they chose “hey let’s place a giant, talking, drunken cat in this one” All in all, i found myself struggling to keep playing thru to see the end. After a while it just seemed really dull, and i found myself playing Covenant instead a few times, just because it’s so splendid, and this one is so “blah”
