faraway. Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 IGN.com: 7.8 Closing Comments: "If you don't have any expectations, then Shadow Hearts: From the New World will probably surprise you with its trademark weirdness and entertaining battle system. There really are some great "Wow" moments that happen over the course of its story too, and the high-end CG cutscenes and musical score are easy to fall in love with. The problem is, the story itself suffers from horribly uneven pacing, the dungeons can be a little boring, and the ultimate payoff isn't really worth the effort (all important aspects of any RPG). These shortcomings have a lot more impact when you're a fan of the previous game as well, because in a lot of ways, From the New World feels more like an imitation than a sequel. Despite these criticisms, though, Johnny and Shania's adventure through Depression-era America is still worth checking out for its battle system alone. When your combat is this good, how could you not?" IGN Review Gamespot.com: 8.2 Conclusion: "Shadow Hearts: From the New World doesn't radically overhaul the series footprint, but that's not a bad thing at all, considering that the battle system and inspired lunacy are what make these games entertaining and distinct. The sheer wealth of ways to upgrade your characters through magic and missions for new powers is a little much for those who don't get into RPG optimization, but veterans of ferreting out a game's secrets should be right at home. Definitely consider picking this game up if you enjoy interactive combat, the occult, and the insane." Gamespot Review Gamespy.com: 4/5 Conclusion: "Shadow Hearts: From the New World is a very well rounded, excellently produced role-playing game. It suffers from trying to do too much at once, enticing you with a new character and an interesting new story direction, but then as soon as you're prepared to delve into them, it's time to move on, almost like you'd need to treat the writers for attention deficit disorder. While I enjoyed the game very much, it's best suited for role-playing game enthusiasts who have a sense of humor and don't mind a bit of a mish-mash when it comes to their epic world-saving storylines." Gamespy Review 1up.com: 6.5 Conclusion: "In the end, this is basically -- unsurprisingly -- another Shadow Hearts, one that'll be very much appreciated by those who've enjoyed the series up till now. Unlike some other RPG franchises, the series definitely has potential, and it's good to see someone still supporting it in the U.S. But Shadow Hearts still has a ways to go before it's in the genre's upper echelon." 1up Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
