Deadly and Beautiful DO Mix

by AztekSkull Nov 20, 2009, 8:04 PM PST

Heavenly Sword featured some amazing visuals, neat gameplay similar to God of War and amazing voice acting, though the best of this game are the Boss battles, and the final Boss is just AWESOME. The only thing that bothers me is that there's no signs of a second title to these series, other than that, you did a great job Ninja Theory and Sony. 4.5 out of 5.

A fun, enjoyable game that I love...

by Teazey Nov 15, 2009, 8:55 PM PST

I love this game. Seriously, I payed 50 dollars for it two years old lol. It was worth every penny. The graphics are beautiful in motion, and the character facial animations are excellent. The voice acting is superb as well. King Bohan is the best. He is a jerk, but Andy Serkis hit it dead on. The true beauty of the game though is seen in it's combat. The animations are breathtaking. The sheer number of combos is amazing. Mastering them is a big plus, because it is amazing to watch them. Truthfully I had more fun playing this than GOW. GOW is a great game, but Heavenly Sword was just more fun, and had a great story to boot. The length does not bother me. It was perfect with the story of the game. I do not mind playing it over either as I have yet to master all of the combos. The sounds are great as well. It is just too exciting to hear dudes screaming in pain as you slice, and dice through them. I just love the game. If there is not a sequel. they could at least release a collector's edition with lots of new content.

Just damn fun!

Really clever and real enjoyable game! Comes with the PS3 in Australia, if not pay the $15 second hand and it will give you hours of fun. The X-Y Axis control is also a lot of fun. Difficult levels but not impossible, sure a bit of key mashing but not the entire game.

A Very Good Game!

by EDOG20 Jun 18, 2009, 1:10 PM PDT

This game is a good fighting game. It is also fun controlling arrows with the controller to get enemies. The graphics is what is really impressive about this game. There isn't much replay value in this game. Overall this is a great fighting game.

My Favourite! Ever!

by janebo Jun 7, 2009, 11:53 PM PDT

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!

Outstanding!!!

by MagnusAbattre May 10, 2009, 4:57 PM PDT

Overall gameplay was stunningly powerful with engaging control mechanincs. The programmers effectively utilized the sixaxis sensor to furhter immurse the player into the game, as if there wasn't enough character content to keep the gamer fully immursed. Bringing me to the story content...original and immaginative. I dug in on the story and felt no lack of courage or ability from the characters; for you God of War nay sayers, Nariko is a brilliantly sculpted character who's actions speak more than words, though diologue exchanges proved something more benethe the surface. Supporting cast and crew were beautifully realized and brought to life by the brilliant voice actors. Hat's off to this fantastic accomplishment of a game!

Amazing Game

by Chromescorpion May 9, 2009, 3:58 PM PDT

I loved everything about this game, Stunning graphics,intuitive controls,new types of game play. You can ride and guide the arrows and cannon balls you fire! Action from start to finish. Then there is this huge sword that you have to earn, then the game realy gets going. Kind of a God of War with b00bs. Wait till you see the battles with hundreds of your foe on the screen at once. The reason I did not give it a 5 star rating is that it is also amazingly and stunningly SHORT!!!! Not worth $60. Don't get me wrong, this is time well spent, but pick it up in the bargain bin for $20, and trust me you'll have no reason to be disappointed with this title. (Hope there is a HS 2)
