Yeah i didnt notice that. All the "positives" are graphics and sounds and all the detractors are gameplay affectors. Also unlike gears which had a VERY strong multiplayer to supplement its short single-player, i dont think HS has a single-player

I wouldn't call gears online a "strong multiplayer".

You know, what I don´t like about the review (and reviews in general in the last few years), they are impressed by graphics, animations, FMV, Sound.

Did you notice what they critizise is the game itself? Too short, not enough boss battles, few enemys, lack of secrets - the game lacks exactly what makes a good game for me.

It is like the Twilight Princess discussion: It is bigger, prettier, more epic but what it lacks (compared to previous Zelda games) is content.

This whole graphic craziness is exactly the reason why I liked GTA Vice City but didn´t like San Andres. Mario Sunshine looked better than Mario 64, still Mario 64 was a better game. And take a deep breath: For me, Halo is a better game than Halo 2 (single player-wise). Just everyone compares their graphics and says: "Hey Halo 2 looks better, Master Chiefs right arm looks prettier than in the first game, so Halo 2 has to be better!"

I´m really getting crazy about those graphic junkies all around the world. (And believe me, this counts for every console - Mario Galaxy can look as good as the best looking PS3 game, if it isn´t fun I´ll be the first to call it rubbish.)

I´m pretty sure Heavenly Sword is a good game. I´m sure it´s content deserves at least 8/10. I just want people to TALK about it. Why do they have to say "Heavenly Swords looks great!", why can´t they say "Heavenly Sword plays great!"? Why can´t Sony say that? I´m sure it does. How do the developers feel when they hear Sony talking about the games graphics? I´m sure they put more than just graphics into it. Every game contains a little bit of the developers heart-blood. I´m sure they want people to talk about the game, not about it´s graphics.

(This wasn´t a comment to this review only. It describes a trend I noticed during the last five years, and it was the trend why I nearly quit gaming. It doesn´t refer to a single console. I think the game is good. But I´m not interested in it´s graphics. I want to play the game, not it´s visuals.)

I agree with everything in this post.. except for the opinions of certain games, given i haven't played all of those listed in the post



@konnichiwa
Yeah i meant multi

@leo
You have to be joking. Have you ever played gears online? Its not Halo, but its SICK. And as of last week was still the most played game on live, 9 months after release. It'd be one thing if ppl bought it thinking it would be great and then it wasn't, but to still have such amazing play-rates...this games multiplayer DEFINES strong



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

Gameplay is extremely good. They are extremely impressed by this game, especially by gameplay. You can spin it as you like but this is extremely solid game - they even mentioned that if totally intensive, fabuleous adventure is the most important feature of the game it's 10/10... Expect same scores from all magazines.
 
"This game will change meaning of concept of Video Game"
 
yeah 9,5 = 9+

Well PSX EXTREME isn't biased in the traditional meaning. Only thing that makes me mad about the magazine is that it doesn't give nearly as much coverage for the xbox360 and Wii as it does for the PS brand in general. Other than that though, i'm quite pleased with it. One thing though, NEO PLUS is currently the bigger video game magazine in Poland.....but it's totally biased in favour of Sony while discrediting the Wii as much as possible.



Deep into the darkness pearing

Long i stood there

Wondering

Fearing

Doubting.

Do you think it will be the first AAAA title on the ps3? (something the 360 hasnt gotten yet)

 Sorry Leo but please shut your mouth next time.

 Why you say GEOW MP 'sucks' when you never played it?

You were complaining a lot of time that N-fans say PS3 (games) suck when they don't own a PS3. 

And now you do it your self?

Hmm, they still keep note "Największy w Polsce" on the cover...

AAAA?? wow, how about getting a AAA title first (I guess you could call the 360 port of Oblivion as AAA)??

 

Also the reason why the game is not a 10 (as stated by Kber) are rather worrying...  less than 10 hours? Same enemies? Not many big boss battles?? and collision detection issues??

Other then the collision detection all the problems stated for the games are major issues.
