Anyways I was in Gamestop today to pick up another game and couldn't wait anymore. I literally wasted 20 minutes debating on whether or not to wait on Gamefly or purchase it. I ended up buying it and I am definitely glad I did. Haven't played through the whole game yet, but here are my first impressions: - I agree the combat system is better than GOW. - The visuals are great - Interesting cutscenes - Using the sixaxis to guide arrows and stuff works pretty well and is fun after you get the hang of it. So far I am definitely glad I bought it. Next to NGS this is my favorite PS3 game. |
And that's exactly why I thought and still think IGN reviews are biaised and don't do justice to the game... plus the fact they let their reviews out three weeks prior to the game release really buggs me, as if it was done on purpose to discourage people from buying the game.
Heavenly Sword got a 7 "decent", come on they gave Blue Dragon a 7.9 "Good", but HS is definitely a 8+ with the best replay value (in my book : when you like a game to the point you want to play it again).
