@ twestern - did you even play heavenly sword? not only was there lots of fun good action there was a really good story behind it. told excellently if i might add. ive played this game over 3 times now and i cant get enough of it. a 2nd does not seem out of the question. but if they do make a 2nd it probably wont be till atleast 2010

He played the demo. He didn't play the actual game.

The demo in many ways leave one unimpressed.. especially with the length.. but i'm glad that didn't scare me off... the actual game is a gazillion times better.

 

 

My problems with the demo

• Quick time events
• The quick time event in the demo was the worst one I've ever experienced
• The game played itself (see the video in Konni's post).  I know there's a deep combat system blah blah blah, but there's no point when I can just mash two buttons and get the same result.
• I'm already just not a huge God of War fan and this game was just a bad knockoff.
• Then of course I'm not going to pay more than $30 for a game that's 4-6 hours long (nothing to do with the demo but on principle).

Trust me when i say that it's worth the money. Ofcourse opinions are different, but everything you list there isn't present in the game. (not in the way it was in the demo)

Quick time events do occour sure. They aren't great but you get used to them (it's mostly in a boss fight or something)

It's linear in the same way god of war is.. mostly. It's broken up in 6 sections that are each very different from eachother. A third of the game is played entirely differently then the rest, with either, a cannon or "kai" as you control her instead of nariku. A thing that should be mentioned is that you can't actually fight with kai and have to use her crossbow.

hmm.. it's hard to explain properly.. i will show you a few youtube videos if you don't mind watching:

First, the beauti that is the story. I never thought of it as simply a game but rather a .. movie where you were in control.. This is what cinematic gaming should be like. In my opinion.

This is a cutscene from a part where you play as kai.. how can you not adore her XD

To real gameplay though. This is one of the sections where someone plays as kai. Note that throughout the part where you play as her the way you have to fight these guys changes, but your main objective is to keep distance, though she can grab their shoulders and jump over them if they do catch up to her.

Arrows are controlled completely with the sixaxis..

It's Very fun :P probably the funniest part of the game.

The level design keeps mixing up keeping the experience fresh and keeps you getting new and different challenges.

 

This is a boss fight.. with nariku.

In either case no gameplay video will do the game justice.. but hopefully they can get you to atleast try the game out... Oh yeah.. and cannon sections although not shown.. are freakin awesome.. :p Controls like arrow sections though :)

Final mention.. Sixaxis sections of this game ARE EPIC.. best use of sixaxis like ever :P.. and by that i do mean that it's really cool controlling with the sixaxis.
