My Favourite! Ever!

ah, Heavenly Sword! THIS is the game I bought the PS3 for (Are You Listening, Sony & Ninja Theory?!)...and I wasn't disappointed. Not until I heard they weren't going to develop a sequel, to which I'm still hoping they'll change their minds. Beautiful graphics & story, acted out more like an epic movie than a game, all so beautifully rendered and fun to play. A little short but when you see how pretty it is & how well the controls respond & exactly what they've put into it, that's forgivable. The characters and their facial expressions are about as close to "real" as it gets.
You play as 2 seperate characters on a series of missions. Nariko, who fights with the multi-faceted Heavenly Sword and her "adopted" little sister Kai, who wields a cool crossbow that incorporates "after touch", a slowing down of time so you can accurately hit your targets. You kick some bosses' ass, unlocking abilities as you go...and some of it gets pretty funny.
I'm Really hoping that God Of War 3 & Kratos, who is purported to be our heroine Nariko's, AKA "Goddess Of War" counterpart, whenever it finally gets here, can keep up with this, because I haven't seen anything else like it...nor has my BF, the Real gamefreak who's played for Many years, over ALL the consoles. And quite honestly, I want More! Sorry, but I won't be selling my copy any time soon at all...because for some reason, I've never tired of playing it!
