| Features:
| • | The Heavenly Sword itself can transform into three distinct weapons, each with its own accompanying fighting stance used by Nariko to vary combat styles. | | • | The combat engine can scale up from sophisticated one-on-one encounters to one-on-many, where enemies employ intelligent squad-based dynamics, right up to combat against battalions pushing real-time gameplay and (AI) to unprecedented new levels. | | • | The physics-based combat allows players to sweep debris against opponents, kick tables to halt an oncoming surge of fighters, smash the enemy into the scenery, or throw bodies into other enemies using “aftertouch” controls. | | • | Heavenly Sword provides a wide range of objects & weaponry including rapid fire crossbows and massively damaging bazookas. | | • | Coupled with real-time story evolvement and amazing set-pieces, Heavenly Sword feels like a blockbuster action movie that takes combat gameplay to new heights. |

 The Definition of Next Gen October 9, 2008
I'll keep it short. Lots of good reviews about what makes this game great.
This is to date maybe the best graphics showcase of what the PS3 can do. Wonderfully detailed characters, lush environments, huge sense of scale, dead-on control. Jaw dropping on a Hi-Def TV.
I would compare the gameplay and length to one of the older LOTR beat-em-ups... though Heavenly Sword is much higher quality in presentation and control. You can probably storm thru this game and finish it in 4 or 5 hours if you're really good. But replaying levels with new combos or picking up a guard and hurling his body into a crowd of enemies takes this beyond the usual hack and slash game. Using the sixaxis controller tilt feature to aftertouch arrow shots is a thing of beauty.
Not to mention that the story is very involving; tragic, yet upbeat and occasionally downright funny.
The company who made this put nearly 3 years into making this game, and it really shows.
Love it.
Unfortunate 1st game October 8, 2008
I say, "Unfortunate 1st game" because this was the very first video game I ever played. Now, unfortunately, every other game I play pales in comparison. This game is amazing. I love showing off the graphics to friends. The combo moves are way too cool. I really got into Nariko's character. Hated Kai at first, but grew to love her and replayed the sniper scenes over and over. Found no glitches. Scenery fabulous. Haven't found another game I enjoyed as much as this one -- My expectations have been set too high by Heavenly Sword. And, Nariko is just plain HOT!
I love this game October 6, 2008
I must say, I tried the demo first and didnt like it. Then I traded my old Resistance Fall of Man with Heavely Sword and I love it. I dont think is as short as people say it is just tooo fun and time goes fast when a game is this fun. I really really like it. The characters, I mean, its been a while since I`ve had "feelings" for a video game character (last time was in Final Fantasy 7), but this time Kai just took over, she is just amazing, its just really cool.
Another thing I love is the language option, I am learning german and I just enjoy playing this game in german sooo much.
Anyway, my favorite PS3 title so far. Great game
 JUST A PLAIN GOOD LOOKING HACK AND SLASHER GAME October 4, 2008
thought it would be like gow 1&2 with a good involving story line bug disapointment. there is a story to it but a poorly told one. to me this game just done cut it story wise but if u just wanna kill a bunch of chit with out purpose then go for it. but i need more than just killing. would not recomend.
Is it me? October 4, 2008
Maybe I'm just getting old. I have to admit, I'm 37, its 2008, and I only just recently aquired the means to get my long sought-after PS3. This game looked SO COOL that it was the first one I rented for my new console. I was very disappointed- but I have to say, it might just be me. For me, the controls and combos are clumsy and awkward, but I can see the potential. Maybe other gamers have the timing, memory, and refexes that are required to pull off some of these really cool moves- but I just don't get it. I like games where every combo has its purpose, and there's a purpose to every combo. With this game, every combo is equally pointless, and the controls are so counter-intuitive that even a cheat-sheet doesn't help. It also has one of the same problems as Devil May Cry 2: its very pretty, but the "camera" is so far away from the action you can barely see what's going on. My other issue with it is that it's a blatant rip-off of Prince of Persia and God of War. If you have played these two games don't bother playing this one because its just more of the same only not as elegant.
