Forums - Sony - Ign Uk review heavenly sword

This is the main thing that worried me

"Throw in the decision to completely remove sword fighting again in chapter three (of six, one of which is simply a boss fight), replaced by some over-egged archery, then cripple it later still with some pretty but soulless silliness, and it adds up to maybe three to four hours of decent combat in a game which takes a rather embarrassing, and distinctly un-epic, six or seven hours to beat."

Thank god for being able to rent games. People complain about bioshocks lack of multiplayer but at least it has 20+ hours of gameplay as most reviewers have noted. I actually have bioshock thanks to gamefly and so far I can see why it has such replay value as already after 3 hours of playing I know how I will play it different the second time around. Again not sure about everyone else but I like good replay value for my moneys worth as to this date after buying gears at launch my friends and I play it regularly in multiplayer. Maybe they can add some downloaded content to make it longer and introduce co-op or something.

 Are there at least multiple difficulty levels to at least try and compensate for an embarrassing 6-7 hour game with no multiplayer?  I'm actually surprised they rated it as high as they did in the replay value catagory if this is the case.

So those 3 big PS3 games arent so great. Well at least we still got LBP and Uncharted.

Uncharted does look very cool and hopefully that will be an AAA title.  Though people want Lair and HW to be AAA you just can't be AAA when some reviews are under 8.  They are decent games but with so many games this fall that could be AAA it will be tough for them to sell well though the lack of ps3 software will help them sell more than usual for such reviews. 



Ouch....

Looks like it's down to what 3 games? LBP, Uncharted, and Ratchet and Clank.
Or does Haze come out this year. Anyway 3 AAA titles gone, let's hope that LBP doesn't get below a 7.

Actually the gameplay and replay value is what brought the score down I think both getting 6 as the rest of the stuff got good scores 8.5 or higher but people usually play games for the gameplay and replay value.

 Everyone can try the demo, these guys are idiots for giving gameplay a 6

 

 



Wow Hus, I guess there's REVIEWS to tell us how long the game is. Like IGN UK, you said yourself IGN is a credible source.

You mean the 5 minute demo?  It took longer to install once the download was done :p
