Shadow Hearts II continued

Well after 5hrs of game play I have to say I quite like it. Granted there's the habitual scantily clad female, but other than clique this game works well.

The battle system is a little tricky to time, a rotating dial must be triggered at specific points to achieve combo fighting effects in a not dissimilar way to how some golf games work; just that the zones on the dial change depending on what's going on.

The characters have an element of balance and strength. You even have a wolf in your party; who can argue with that?

The story line is fluid and the music is excellent, setting mood and plot. Dialog is both spoke and written, with a decent amount spoken.

The game plays to some extent like an interactive movie; good RPG battling adventure fun pocketed with story cut-scenes you want to watch rather than yawn over.

In short, SHII is progressing well and doesn't feel like a disappointment. Well, not yet at any rate.

More to follow I do not doubt.
