	Shadow Hearts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original Shadow Hearts was developed by Sacnoth and released by Midway in the United States during December 2001.
		Shadow Hearts is also considered unique by its fans for its quirky style â” the alternate setting of an Earth where monsters and mystical forces seem common is well-done, and the game boasts a sense of humor unusual considering the seriousness of some of its subject matter and the horror elements in the setting.
		Shadow Hearts: From The New World is scheduled for a Summer 2005 release in Japan.

		The sometimes seen work Hearts of Age was made there while he was a student and also stars his first wife, Virginia Nicholson.
		He later made his stage debut at the famous Gate Theatre in Dublin, Ireland in 1931 when he talked himself onto the stage and appeared in small supporting roles, and by 1934 was a radio director/actor in the United States, working with some of the cast that later became the Mercury Theatre.
		Welles died of a heart attack in Hollywood, California at age 70 on October 10, 1985 (the same day as Yul Brynner).

	Review - Shadow Hearts: Covenant // PlayStation 2 /// Eurogamer
		Shadow Hearts Covenant is the follow-up to one of the PS2's most sadly ignored RPG titles, the excellent Shadow Hearts, which followed the adventures of angsty hero Yuri as he mastered his ability to morph into the monstrous forms and fought off the Forces Of Darkness Threatening The World.
		The combat system in Shadow Hearts is nothing if not traditional, and in fact it's almost refreshing to end up playing a turn-based RPG again after the action-focused likes of Star Ocean 3 and Tales of Symphonia.
		The game also reintroduces the Judgement Ring from Shadow Hearts, which requires you to tap the X button at the right moments to ensure that an attack is triggered and to determine its power.

	Shadow Hearts Covenant Review for PlayStation 2 - Gaming Age (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Although Covenant is a direct sequel to the original Shadow Hearts, this story still works on its own, and it even gives you enough of a recap throughout that you won't be lost.
		And what an entertaining ride it is. At its heart lies a dark tale with demons and a dangerous religious cult, but on the surface there's some hilarious situations and laugh out loud funny dialog.
		Honestly, as creepy and cool as the theme of the original Shadow Hearts was, the visuals were technically lacking.

		Shadow Hearts and Shadow Hearts: Covenant, known as Shadow Hearts 2 in Japan, were created and published in Japan by Aruze Corporation.
		Shadow Hearts: Covenant also brings back the innovative combat system, the Judgment Ring, which not only allows players to choose which characters to bring to battle, but also determines the final outcome of the battle based on the players' speed and accuracy.
		Shadow Hearts: Covenant is a wonderful and fitting sequel with plenty to entertain, yet leaves lots to think about as it takes an already established series a step higher up the 'extraordinary game' ladder.

		Shadow Hearts showed gamers that you could still be visually stunning, but also have original gameplay in the Judgment ring, a carefully plotted story, and characters that weren't two-dimensional stereotypes.
		Shadow Hearts tries to be deep and focus on a lot more than anti hero destroys all encompassing evil.
		Shadow Hearts Covenant may be a sequel, but it is still an amazing gaming in many ways.

	CultureDose.net - Sacnoth - 12/01 - Shadow Hearts Games Review
		Shadow Hearts is a solid RPG that improves upon Koudelka in nearly every way possible.
		At its core, Shadow Hearts is another typical ‘band of adventurers save the world' game, complete with a hero who's unsure of himself and his powers, a young woman who loves him, and a supporting cast of characters who are all quirky but interesting.
		While Shadow Hearts may not bring much in the way of innovation to the table, it does almost all of the core things a successful RPG has to do and does them right.

		Shadow Hearts 2 is currently 70 percent complete, and it's in development at Aruze's subsidiary Nautilus.

	Shadow Hearts: Covenant Review for PlayStation 2 at GameSpot
		Shadow Hearts: Covenant takes the traditional turn-based save-the-world formula, tosses out any semblance of pretentiousness, adds its own bizarre style and humor, and then follows an original cast of characters on an enjoyable adventure.
		Karin Koenig, an officer in the German army, is sent with her squad to seize control of the sleepy village of Domremy.
		The monster is actually a young man named Yuri Hyuga (the antihero and protagonist of the first Shadow Hearts), who has the power to assume the form of a wide variety of creatures and is safeguarding the village from invasion.

	Final Fantasy Online Forums - Shadow Hearts 2 review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		From what I've seen so far, it's great for fans of the original Shadow HEarts, but I think that people who've never played the series can still really enjoy it, since Karin herself is a newcomer and a lot of things are explained using her as an observer.
		I'm also surprised anyone could recommend this game to people who haven't played Shadow Hearts I. I think the pre-order deal was rather brilliant since Shadow Hearts II is so bloody ingrained with the first title that I'd imagine people who didn't play it would be confused out of their minds.
		Shadow Hearts II is very creative for the genre it is in- quite a few things it does are only copies of SHI and a very select few other games, if anything.

		Shadow Hearts, the "sleeper" hit two years ago, is finally going to get a sequel.
		The thing that drew me towards Shadow Hearts was its darker theme, combining the old western and eastern worlds to tell the story.
		Shadow Hearts was just about the first good RPG on PS2, sure the graphics weren't that great, but it actually gave me the feeling of a "classic" RPG...

		One notable exception to this rule was crafted at the hands of Sacnoth and appeared late in 1999 for the original PlayStation under the title Koudelka.
		Needless to say, this is all done without descending into the juvenile, but those unwilling to deal with adult situations or gore would best find their entertainment elsewhere.
		Following the opening, Shadow Hearts will have you hopping madly across various areas of the orient, searching for countless mysterious connections between Bacon, Alice, Yuri and many of the other characters in the story.

		Fans of the original Shadow Hearts (we can't be the only ones, surely?) will enjoy the game but feel a little disappointed, perhaps, by its failure to be as memorable or as high quality as the first title
		Dunno how they can top the final boss of Shadow Hearts though, considering what it was...
		Shadow Hearts and Koudelka were amazing and atmospheric with a brilliant storyline but now Nautilus has taken over this series, I am sure that from now on Shadow Hearts will be synonymous with 'crap'.
