This is a game which survives on its predecessor. The combat system is revamped, and I give credit where it's due - they had a lot of good ideas. It needs a bit of fine-tuning, but if it gets the tuning and appears in another game I think it has a good deal of potential.

The problem comes in the story. It isn't really engaging, and plot points are few and far between. It is difficult to keep working through the combat to get to the story, as turn-based games are pretty much designed around, when you know you are like an hour away from the next cut-scene.

Overall, it isn't a bad game, it just fails to shine. It lacks polish, and it has major pacing issues. If you can make it past those two issues, you will probably enjoy this game.

just finished this game for the 2nd time, and this time i finished all the sidequests and got to say probably one of the best rpgs out there...ff x is still my favorite but this comes a really close 2nd... the story is amazing(including all the sidequest) which makes this a very enjoyable and addictive game which makes you want to play again and again...definitely a keeper and a classic ps2 game...


5 out of 5 stars One Of The Best   January 24, 2008
This was the first JRPG I played that wasn't two dimensional, a fantastic way to enter the genre. World War One, fanservice, Gay (literally) minigames; what more can you as for? One of the funniest and funnest ps2 rpgs out there, a definite 'yes'.

This is possibly the best PS2 game i've ever played in my life. The whole shadow hearts series is the best title ive ever played in my lifetime of living. Great game, Great storyline, Great everything. I would definately recommend this to anyone thats intrested in turn based attack games.

A wonderful journey and once again a unique fighting system just goes along so well with a continuance in the Shadow Heart saga a series that is truly underrated by far in tern makes this a must have RPG.
