A game that everyone needs to try out.
User Rating: 8.5 | Shadow Hearts II PS2
Gameplay: When walking around in the game you don't get attack every 5 or 6 seconds like in other RPG's. SH:C is very good with their random battles where you will get attacked maybe everyone 2 or 3 minutes. There are some times when you will get attacked many times, but that is only when you don't know where you are going. Even if you are lost the battles keep your attention very easily, thanks to the Judgement Ring. Speaking of the Judgement Ring, everything is done through it, from buying items to using them in battle. If the hit the little red space on the JR then it rewards you with giving you a little bonus points to that item. The battles could have a few more monster types to add some variety, but they are still very good.
Audio: The soundtrack in this game goes from good to bad very easily. The music is very bare-bones, I can see trying to build a mood for the game dark under-tones, but this was bad. I think they could have spent a little more time working on the soundtrack. Also it does not matter what floor you are walking on it is the same.
Graphics: The graphics are pretty good, they are not Final Fantasy caliber, but they are still good for what it's worth.
