I'm guessing something in the 8.6-8.9 range.

Awesome game, but not quite AAA...

I hope I'm wrong and on the low-end here, fingers crossed ...

every time you go to ign and see a review summary line that sounds like they really liked a game, when you scroll down to see the review score, you almost always find that they gave it an 8.4. last big eg. shaun white tha caption sounds like they're going to give it an 9.5 then it turns out to only be an 8.4

I think 8.5, but hopes for a 9 or higher

Ranging from a 7-9 for avg ratio and if I had to guess I'd say either a 8.5 or maybe a 9 if lucky putting my final guess at 8.7



This will only take a moment of your time. *steals your watch*

My call: 8.0 -- too short, little replay value. Same thing they gave Heavenly Sword, and for the same reason.

8.0 tops, actually, since they tend to knock Wii games just for being SD.

IGN gave Heavenly Sword a 7.0, and not just because it was short.

Inevitably, everything in that genre gets compared to God of War...

so true.

i never beat HS but i played through parts with a buddy of mine and it seemed much better than God of war.

.. at least in my book.

way better than a 7.0

How is Heavenly Sword better than God of War in any way? You have 500 enemies surrounding you at any given time, strafing around like idiots, Nariko fights like she has a metal rod down her back, the story is pathetic, and the game is some six hours long. Also, it has lag.

It's better than Ninja Gaiden, imo.

Although maybe I shouldn't be judging it based on the demo...

There you go!

I don't think it's that much like GoW. Nariko has to use combos and special attacks to kill most enemys who block or something unique that make the game not a button masher. I liked the story and the acting was really really good, Narikos voice bugged me at some spots though. I never finished it because I got stuck on a level that required using Kai. I like GoW a lot more because it is a button masher and doesn't require combos for different enemys.

It was partly a poke at all of those annoying people who kept saying that KZ2 sucked, based on the demo.

But from what I saw, HS doesn't look as well-designed as God of War.
