Sorry if this has been posted before. I searched for ign and didn't see it. Only my thread about the Uk review Maybe another thread will appear while im typing though. So anyway in the IGN UK review thread many people complained how IGN Uk were no good and we should wait for IGN USA. Well here we go, and the score? Exactly the same as IGN UK. 7.0 Summary if you are too lazy to click the link http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/815/815721p1.html (please note the only reason uk is at the start of that link is because im in the uk. Not because it is IGN UK. Presentation 9.0 The cutscene work is fantastic, as are the extras (even though you can get most of them freely online). Graphics 9.0 Beautiful in every respect. Character models are great, and the vistas are a-plenty. Sound 9.0 Sound effects are fantastic as is the music and voice work. Gameplay 7.0 The combat system is mostly very good, though the battles get repetitive very quickly and some of the extra stuff (like the button matching mini-games) needed more polish. Lasting Appeal 5.0 The experience is over fairly quickly. There are a number of really good unlockables to go back and earn, though you can already get them online right now.

I dont' really like having a new thread for each review that comes out for a game...So we have 2 threads on the front page for IGN HS reviews.

so wats your point? Im stil getting it anyway, he didint like it because he wanted a button masher and a longer game not a game that actually needs strategy for combos. Wait till gametrailers reviews it.

I think the point is IGN USA is the best review site out there statistically.

That and Hus kept claiming that IGN USA would be the true test of how good the game is.  Sad thing is he's banned for the day so he can't respond.

Wait for Gametrailers to review it. Then after they give it a mediocre score? Let me guess.... Gamespot, or maybe Gamesradar! I see how it goes

No, gametrailers is most reliable, ign, gamespot, or watever other site you want to talk about is biased. I only trust gametrailers but thats just my opinion. 7.0 isnt mediocore kid its descent, medio core is 6.9 or below. Also the reviewer basicly said he wants a hack and slash. This is were the gameplay score droped just a bit.

"I dont' really like having a new thread for each review that comes out for a game...So we have 2 threads on the front page for IGN HS reviews."

Oh shit!
somebody isnt satisfied with a thread!

Btw has anyone cancelled their preorder?

leo-j:

dam... uk gave it a 7.0... this is terrible...I was expecting at the lowest an 8.5, wow... then microsoft was smart pushing this game away..7.0 for me to waste on a game 60buks would be a waste of money. Dam and I really wanted that game.

then:

The only reviews I trust is ign itself, and gametrailers.

later:

Im not a random sony "fanboy", Like I said I only trust gametrailers

now:

so wats your point? Im stil getting it anyway.... Wait till gametrailers reviews it.

Why not just be honest and say that no matter how lousy the reviews are, you're going to buy this game?

At least that would be consistent.

And we understand: it's not like the PS3 has other games coming out that are getting much better reviews than Heavenly Sword. So it's a choice between HS, some other mediocre game (Lair), or no game at all.

So.. you didn't read the review then?  Actually he said he loved the stances but unfortunitly it became a button mash triangle game because that also counters. 

 Lack of a block button made blocking pointless to attempt and ruined otherwise would of been fine blocking system.

 Also you are fighting the same battles over and over again because there is very little variety in enemys.

These are all signs of button mahsers.

Also he complained that the already short game feels like it should be shorter because of the pointless arena fighting.

If anything it shows he didn't want a button masher and that is what this game turned out to be. 

wow, all the ps3 "AAAA" games are flopping (warhawk, lair, Heavenly sword).

Still this game may get some good sales since like i said most games are flopping anyway and ps3 owners need something to play. Besides this game has got plenty of hype from the sony fans :P
