How do you think Heavenly Sword will do?

well the fact that gamespot marked it down for being short and still gave it an 8/10 suggests to me that it is a high quality game.
I dont have a ps3 and have not played the demo, but if you play the game properly (using the three stances etc) instead of button mashing the game offers a lot of varation. I think your being very harsh when you say playing the demo for 6 hours is the same as playing through the actual game. you dont get the story, do you play as the main characters (cant remember name) sister in the demo?
I would prefer to play a quality game that last 8 hours than a rubbish game that lasts 20.

p.s If it takes professional reviews 8 hours to complete, I reckon i could do it in about 16 :P

Yeah, i'd also rather play a game that's good for 6 hours (actual playtime with cutscense and breaks! and apparently goofing off and throwing bodies just to see how far you can throw them) then a game that sucks for 20.

However i wouldn't want to pay full price for either.

The 8 just shows how bad the PS3's lineup in that genre is.    A game can be perfect but if it's under an day of play it really shouldn't be over a 7 unless it's some sort of sports game or has online features.  I mean people do use these reviews to buy games.  I'd be pissed if i was someone who could only buy one game every two months and the game i got this time was beaten in about the same time it took me to drive to the store and purchase it.
