WATCH UR MOUTH BOY!!! hmm.....Heavenly Sword was an awsome game with levels of depth in the combat system never before seen in any action game. Every time I played that game I could figure out at least one different move that I didnt already know. And If you have ever even played it, you would know that the cinimatics in that game were phenomenal with a story and characters that will surely draw u in. I purposely used to play my PS3 with HS at my school (I go to school for Digital Entertainment and Video Game Design) just so I could see the forming crowds reaction to the game. They always gawked over stunning visuals and rivaled story telling on par with the FF, MGS franchises. The only think working against that game was that it was very very VERY short. But it definitely leaves u wanting more. I dont like to use metacritic, gamerankings etc becuz they tend to just pic and choose which ones to allocate. If i was to post a review online on a game i hate anyway and give it a terrible score, if they saw it they would post it and tally it up. I use select reviewers who can be trusted in my research....nothing against u tho, no hard feelings :)

 Play God of War or Ninja Gaiden Sigma and you'll never think the same about action games again :p they make games like heavenly sword look like childs play.

Metacritic doesn't tally just anyones game reviews.

psssst Heavenly Sword was loads of fun, cant wait for God of War on PS3 tho....

Am i the only one who thinks most action games these days r all flare and little substance? Ninja Gaiden for example. Awsome action i must admit, yet story and voice acting is GAAAARRRRBBBAAAGGE! I need something a little more than just senseless violence in my games. I need plot twists and characters I grow to love as if they were related to me. Nariko does that for me. She so strong willed and doesnt care that the world hates her and deem her as a bad omen. And one cannot help but just find Kai adorable with her bizarre nature and unmatched sniping skills. I mean neither NG or GOW had a moment like the one in HS when Kai was caught by Flying Fox and .....SPOILERS: HUNG RIGHT IN FRONT OF NARIKO!!!!!!!! that was epic when Nariko cried out in disbelief and anger. Thats the kinda thing that makes fighting a boss all the more enjoyable. Maybe I shouldnt judge too much tho cuz I only played NG Sigma and only heard about GOW. But I still think I have enough knowledge of the two series to know that they cant touch HS....

my two cents.....

There Both good in there own ways, but these kind of threads lead to fanboy wars.

Ah ok the Wii is a next-gen console, but not the 360. Man you live in your own little world.

BTW: The Xbox was between PS2 and PS3 ;)
