Absurd Japanese humor not found too often these days
As a game, Shadow Hearts II is very effective at being what it aims to be: A standard RPG with elements that change it up just enough to not be too similar to its competition. Is it a good game? Yes, very. However, it's nothing special. Some rapid-fire pros and cons to make this a short review: Pros: It has a wonderful sense of humor with its cast of characters and plot. The battle system is very active and uses timing effectively despite maintaining classic turn-based style battling to make every fight stay engaging. The story continues a trilogy here, so if you're into lengthy adventure tales then this is definitely a pro. Cons: Leveling up is generic and bland where more levels equates to more health and damage. Standard stuff. You upgrade your gear by simply buying the slightly better attack weapon for a certain character in the new town you come across. Gear progression is as basic as it can possibly be. Items in the game are simple heal damage or restore mana with the resurrection items thrown in to boot. The spells are basic, if not worse in terms of actual usability (low mana pools, high cost) and the random encounters are fixed per area. (Same enemies in a particular zone, therefore no rare spawns, no diversity.) Overall, I'm enjoying it. It itches a weird JRPG crave that I have, and if you're just as weird as I am, it'll probably do the same for you.

One of the most underrated RPGs on the PS2!
The Shadow Hearts series is one of the most underrated RPG series in gaming! It has everything from lovable characters to a deep, dark story line! SH Covenant is an awesome entry into the series and will offer hours of compelling, enjoyable game play! This is a gem on the PS2 that has been overlooked for far too long! It's worth the price, so take the time to check it out if you want an amazing game!

Shadowhearts Covenant
A sequel to the original Shadow Hearts game, one of the greatest games ever made! A fantastic world role playing games filled with ancient magic and lore where it turn based on a timing wheel. It's a dark fantasy don't expect the light happy world of Final Fantasy, this is a much more mature role playing game! Buckle in because this is an amazing game you're not going to want to put down!

Love this game!
Played it in middle school and I thought I'd try it out again. For a ps2 game, the graphics were great for it's time and I still don't mind seeing them on my TV today. The seller I purchased this from was super nice, too. It arrived way earlier than anticipated and they notified me once they'd shipped it. The CD has zero scratches on it and the game plays great! Really happy with this :)

An exciting game that plays like a movie.
For the PS2 the graphics are great. The game is full of fmv's that compliment the story and keep your interest in continuing the game to see what's going to happen next. It plays like a movie in which you are one of the actors. If you like games that are good at telling it's story, this game won't disappoint.

Demon fusion RPG with a great story line. Play the first one if you want the full effect of this one.
I've always enjoyed the game. When I was younger I had it and gave it up. Nostalgia hit and I had to get it again.

One of the best games I've ever played. This is up there with Shining Force III, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue I & II, Sakura Wars 3 and other greats.
